East Texas A&M vs. McNeese Prediction

I’m on McNeese in this one. I’d be lying if I said I was stone cold confident in McNeese in conference play like I was with the Cowboys last season, but the fact of the matter is that East Texas A&M is still the worst team in this conference by a fair margin and a lot of times, the Lions have had trouble making the step up in competition. I think this is a spot for McNeese to really break out the offense and put a hurting on an inferior opponent and I just think this game has blowout written all over it. Give me McNeese here.
