Northwestern State Demons vs LSU Tigers prediction

The LSU Tigers are the better team, but I’m not sure if they’re this much better, as this isn’t the most talented LSU team we’ve seen. LSU also hasn’t played in a week and won’t play in a week after this game, so it’s easily a weird spot for these kids to show up and actually care. LSU is just 4-8 ATS on the season. It’s fair to say the Northwestern State Demons will be the more motivated side, as they don’t get these chances often. Give me the road team and the boatload of free buckets.
