Southeastern Louisiana vs. Tulane Prediction

I’m with Southeastern Louisiana and the points here. Tulane has not looked very good against a somewhat lenient schedule to this point, and this is a Southeastern Louisiana team that historically has hung around in this matchup. I just think that even if Tulane won this game, they’ve made life so hard for themselves already this season that I can see this being a tight game. Give me the Lions and the points.
