📊 STWF Parlay Prediction
New Orleans Privateers (4-10) vs East Texas A&M Lions (6-9)
📍 Lakefront Arena | Monday Jan. 5, 2026
📈 Spread: New Orleans -7.5 | Total: 151.5 ESPN.com
🧠 Bet #1 — Spread: New Orleans -7.5
New Orleans is favored at home and carries a historical edge in this matchup, having split their last six games all-time with East Texas A&M (3-3) and winning the most recent meeting by narrow margins. University of New Orleans Athletics
The Privateers have shown they can score above conference average (72.4 ppg vs ETAM’s ~66.2 ppg), and home court should be a factor. TeamRankings
Despite recent losses, UNO has more offensive options and better rebounding metrics — a key edge late in games.
Lean: Privateers cover — they have hit or closely contested recent contests and should do enough at home to clear halftime spreads. (especially if the tempo stays controlled)
🧠 Bet #2 — Moneyline Parlay Legs
🔹 Privateers ML — UNO should win if they avoid long droughts like their loss to Northwestern State. University of New Orleans Athletics
🔹 Notable Value: East Texas A&M ML is double-digit underdog value (+300) if they hit early runs — best as a parlay hedge leg only. ESPN.com
Parlay angle:
✅ Privateers (-7.5) + Privateers ML (-380) — favored strong home position
OR
🔥 Privateers (-7.5) parlay with Under total (if trends reflect defensive half control early)
🧠 Bet #3 — Total Points (UNDER 151.5)
East Texas A&M’s offense has struggled to generate explosive scoring, while New Orleans has been inconsistent shooting from deep. ESPN.com
If the pace stays half-court oriented — likely in a conference game with both teams trying to protect the ball — then UNDER has strong playability.
Conditions where UNDER hits:
-
ETAM’s sub-par field goal % (~41%)
-
Tight Southland conference pace
-
New Orleans tendency to stay within half-court sets
Lean: Under, but consider pushing in parlay if momentum swings early.
