East Texas A&M vs Lamar Prediction

It’s just hard to back the East Texas A&M Lions with confidence. East Texas A&M is one of the worst defensive teams in the country, has lost nine of its last 10 games, and has covered just two of its last eight games. The Lamar Cardinals are coming off a nice upset road win over Nicholls and come back home where it’s won 50 percent of its season games. Lamar has a massive edge defensively, where it’s top-100 in points allowed and defensive field goal percentage. Backing East Texas A&M isn’t an option. Give me Lamar and whatever the line is going to be.
