Stephen F. Austin vs. Northwestern State Prediction

I’m on Northwestern State here. I’ll give Stephen F. Austin full credit for playing well as of late when it was looking like the Lumberjacks were the worst team in the Southland outside of East Texas A&M. However, their last two wins have come at home and this Lumberjacks team has been a different team on the road. The same can be said for Northwestern State, but at least the Demons are at home in this game where they’ve been at their best and they’re also coming off of a really big win over a solid Nicholls team on the road. I think that Northwestern State sweeps the regular season meetings with Stephen F. Austin here and gets themselves the win and cover at home in this one. Give me the Demons laying the points here.
