SE Louisiana vs Incarnate Word Prediction
SE Louisiana has offensive issues that make it hard to back, but let’s not act like Incarnate Word is lighting the world on fire. Incarnate Word has more offensive horses, but it allows teams to hang around and does have a couple of bad losses. SE Louisiana has recent upset wins over Houston Christian and Navy, which prove this squad can play above its level. This is also an early start, which usually leads to sloppy, sluggish play. I’ll take a shot with the free buckets.
