Stephen F. Austin vs SE Louisiana Prediction

I’m on SE Louisiana in this one. The issue I have with Stephen F. Austin is that the offense is far too inconsistent to really trust on a game-to-game basis, and when it is consistent, it’s way more consistently bad than good if we’re being completely honest. The Lions are coming off of back-to-back wins and I think in this matchup there’s a strong possibility they’re the better team. Winning games with defense can only get you so far because at the end of the day, the main goal is to outscore the other team and I don’t trust SFA to do that here. Give me the Lions and the points in this game.
