Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles vs. South Dakota Coyotes Prediction

I’m on South Dakota here. I just don’t think that Southern Indiana’s going to be able to hang offensively in what is a pseudo home game for the Coyotes in this one. The Screaming Eagles kept it close against VMI, but I think South Dakota widens the margin a bit to get a win and cover in this one. Give me the Coyotes.
