Lamar vs Incarnate Word Prediction

Incarnate Word is getting too much love with this line because it’s at home and is desperate to qualify for the conference tournament. With only eight teams eligible in the Southland, Incarnate Word is fighting with Houston Christian and Stephen F. Austin for limited spots. With that said, Lamar has been the better team all year and has won nine of its last 10 games. Lamar is also a profitable 14-9-2 ATS on the season. Lamar has also won nine road games and beat Incarnate Word last month by 14 points. Incarnate Word is obviously the more desperate team, but we’re laying less than a full bucket with the better team. Give me Lamar.
