Lamar at McNeese State

January 2, 2026
img7:00 PM Eastern

McNeese State was expected to be a contender for the Southland Conference title, and the Cowboys have not disappointed, as they are 10-3 (6-4-1 ATS) while averaging 86.7 points per game and allowing 69.2 points per game. They have covered their past five home games, and they are 4-0 ATS following an ATS loss. McNeese does come off a rout by Michigan, but the Wolverines have been destroying about every team they have played this season. The Cowboys have gone OVER three straight, and they are 5-1 OVER following a loss by at least 20 points dating to previous seasons. Lamar has lost four of six, and it is 12-2 OVER its past 14 Friday games dating back to earlier seasons. The OVER is 5-1 when the Cardinals' opponent allowed more than 100 points in its previous game. Take McNeese State and the OVER.
