The McNeese Cowboys are getting smacked around defensively, and that’s likely not going to change on the road. The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns have issues in their own right, but they’ve played their best ball at home, and they’re coming off their best offensive performance of the season. Thick number, but McNeese isn’t a good team to put it kindly. I’ll lay the chalk.
