Incarnate Word Cardinals vs. SE Louisiana Lions Prediction

I’m on the Lions here. SE Louisiana hasn’t looked great at times this season, but if nothing else, this team has been playing well at home, and I think this is a spot for the Lions to keep their momentum rolling here. the Cardinals have done well in their own right, but this line is tight enough that you’re basically picking who wins this game, and Incarnate Word only has one win on the road this season and I think the Lions get the win at home here.
