Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (ATS) ..

Stephen F. Austin delivered with a big win for me last weekend against UT Rio Grande Valley. Now, I'm backing them again in another important Southland Conference game. As goes like this don't mean as much for some teams, other teams can benefit from gaining ground and grabbing a top seed for the Conf. Tournaments that isn't expected with big wins during the season. SFA should be trying dearly to improve from the 10th spot in the Southland. On the other hand, Northwestern State has been the slightest bit better than SFA this season. Having said that, I don't think that the Demons are actually better. They are quite average defensively while SFA is outstanding on the defensive end. That's going to be the difference here in what should be a lower scoring game. SFA also has something even bigger to play for having lost at home to these guys in January. Hammer the Lumberjacks.

Score Prediction: 66-54 SFA.
