Seattle vs. Tarleton Prediction
I’m on Tarleton here. I get why a free bucket with Seattle is tempting as the RedHawks have been solid. However Tarleton’s been even better and still have a chance at a share of the regular season WAC title if Grand Canyon stumbles against Cal Baptist. I think the Texans get the job done at home so give me Tarleton here.
