Northwestern State Demons vs. SE Louisiana Lions Prediction
I’m on Northwestern State and the points here. SE Louisiana for me just isn’t a team that does well as a sizeable favorite, and both meetings between these two teams last season came down to the wire. I think we could have another close one here as both teams could really use a big conference win in the early going, so give me the Demons and the points in this one.
