Baylor v. Louisiana-Monroe

Today the Baylor Bears go for their seventh consecutive win in the Unofficial College Football Championship, as they wrap up one of the worst non-conference schedules I've ever seen.  To recap what has happened so far, Baylor opened the season with a 69-3 over Wofford.  They then beat Buffalo 70-13.  Then they took a week off.  Now they take on Louisiana-Monroe, which is 2-1 (they lost to Oklahoma, and beat Grambling and Wake Forest).

Baylor is ranked 19th in the country, and they shouldn't have too much trouble with the Warhawks.  It is true that last year, in the only match-up between these two schools, the Bears had a real challenge before pulling out a 47-42 win.  But that game was in Monroe, and Baylor has gotten much better since then.  Baylor is a 30-point favorite in a game where the over-under line is 74.  That would translate into a 52-22 victory for the Bears, which sounds about right.  Since Baylor has (another) bye week next week, it appears that the Big Gold Trophy will stay in Waco for at least two more weeks.
