Tarleton State vs Indiana State Prediction

I’m on Indiana State here. This may be a different Indiana State team from last season, but the fact is that the Sycamores are still the better team here by a fair margin as getting to 60+ points against D-I opposition has been a tall task for Tarleton often this season. I think Indiana State gets it done here so give me the Sycamores laying the points.
