Northwestern State vs Incarnate Word Prediction

The Northwestern State Demons have run into offensive issues as of late, and it’s why they recently lost a winnable game against UL Monroe. The Incarnate Word Cardinals have won all of the games they’re supposed to win this season, and their fast-paced offense should give the Demons fits. This feels like a mismatch and one that heavily favors the Incarnate Word. The line feels soft. Give me the Cardinals and the reasonable chalk.
