SE Louisiana vs. East Texas A&M Prediction

I’m on SE Louisiana here. I get the allure of a home underdog in some spots, but for me, this just is not one of those particular spots. East Texas A&M has some serious issues and just can’t get over the hump to get into the win column. SE Louisiana is one of the top half teams in the Southland in my opinion, and we’ve seen East Texas A&M get crushed by McNeese and Nicholls at home already in the calendar year. I think that SE Louisiana walks in and exacts the same result here so give me SE Louisiana laying the points.
