Texas A&M Commerce vs. New Orleans Prediction

I’m on New Orleans here. I just think these are two evenly matched teams from a statistical standpoint, but New Orleans is the slightly better offense and they force plenty of turnovers which I don’t know is something that Texas A&M Commerce can overcome. Give me the privateers here.
