Pick Ideas

FAU moneyline for parlay construction

Florida Atlantic is the clear market favorite at roughly -465 to -525, making its moneyline more suitable as a parlay anchor than a standalone wager.

ULM plus the points

UL Monroe is available around +12.5 to +13.5 in the 2026 market and averages 22.7 points per game; the home underdog is the more attractive side if its rushing attack and home setting can keep the margin inside two touchdowns.

Under 57.5 points

The market total is generally 57.5 points, while Florida Atlantic scored 16 in its most recent 2026 game and ULM has allowed 42.0 points per game across its last three. The under is appealing if FAU's low-volume rushing offense and ULM's limited passing production produce a slower game.
