Austin is 9-17-1 ATS on the year, which is absolutely dreadful. McNeese is the team to beat in the Southland and just beat Stephen F. Austin by 20 points a little over a month ago. I don’t want to step in front of McNeese, and I just can’t get there with Stephen F. Austin. Give me McNeese for another double-digit victory.
