Houston Christian vs. Northwestern State Prediction

I’m on Houston Christian here. The Huskies have been one of the best cover teams in the country this season and I’m not trying to deviate from that here after a confidence boosting win over Stephen F. Austin, who had been playing really well going into that game. Northwestern State is coming off of their own big win over SE Louisiana, who was right there with McNeese as one of the best in the Southland this season, but I think with both teams coming off of big wins, I think this could be competitive and a game where I want points in my back pocket. Give me Houston Christian and the points here.
