The Owls bring consecutive turnover-free games to Monroe, while the Warhawks seek their first victory. Neither recent performance settles the betting value.
The Florida Atlantic Owls visit the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks on September 26, 2026, for a college football matchup scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Central, on ESPN+. Both schools confirm the date and matchup.
FAU improved to 2-1 with a 16-10 victory over FIU on September 19. Caden Veltkamp completed 24 of 36 passes for 202 yards, and the Owls finished without a turnover for the second consecutive game. Their defense intercepted three passes in the first quarter and delivered three fourth-quarter stops.
ULM fell to 0-3 after a 38-35 home loss to Southeastern Louisiana. The Warhawks generated 511 yards, including 331 passing and 180 rushing, but committed three turnovers while their opponent committed one. Austin Carlisle threw for 183 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, adding 76 rushing yards on 13 attempts.
SportsJaw lists FAU at -550 moneyline and -13.5 (-112) spread. ULM is +400 moneyline and +13.5 (-108) spread. FAU's recent ball security and ULM's three giveaways provide a reason to consider the favorite, but those results came against different opponents. They do not establish that FAU can reliably win by at least 14 points.
ULM's offensive output supplies a counterweight to its winless record. Still, 511 yards in one loss cannot establish value on the home underdog, especially alongside the turnovers that accompanied that production.
The over is 57.5 (-110), and the under is 57.5 (-110). ULM's latest game offers a scoring argument, while FAU's 16-10 result points in the opposite direction. Those contrasting outcomes provide too little basis to project this matchup's pace or scoring efficiency.
