Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs. McNeese Cowboys Prediction

I’m on McNeese here. I just think McNeese has looked so good as of late that it’s hard to go against them here. I think that Middle Tennessee will be solid in C-USA this season, but in this matchup, I think McNeese ends up being too much here. Give me the Cowboys in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: McNeese -7.5
