SE Louisiana vs New Orleans Prediction
The New Orleans Privateers are going nowhere fast as they've not only lost nine of their last 10 games but have failed to cover six of their last seven games. New Orleans is a mess defensively, and that includes allowing 86 or more points in eight of its last 10 games. It doesn't matter what you think of the SE Louisiana Lions, backing New Orleans simply isn't an option in its current form. The SE Louisiana Lions have three road wins this season, and they're a profitable 8-4-1 ATS on the season. Somewhat of a thick line, but I'll lay it anyway with SE Louisiana. Again, New Orleans is in rough shape.
