Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: McNeese State vs. Northwestern State
Monday, February 16, 2026 7:30 PM
Play: Point Spread: -14/-110 McNeese State
McNeese comes into this game fresh off a blowout win on the road over E Texas A&M and they have been kind of running roughshod over the Southland aside from the occasional stinker. The Cowboys are a solid offensive team behind the very solid and efficient scoring of Larry Johnson and we have actually seen some good defense this year as they are giving up only 66.9 points per game.
Northwestern State is in a revenge spot after getting embarrassed 92-54 by McNeese early in the season. The Demons are only 6-11 in conference play but while they have won two in a row in super close fashion I don’t think this team is ready to hang with anyone good at all.
Take McNeese to get the win and cover here on the road as our free pick here on Monday. I think the Cowboys get an absolute blowout here against a squad they completely outclass on both ends of the floor and especially on the boards.
