Radford vs Utah Prediction

The Radford Highlanders have a couple of wins this season in the underdog role, but they haven’t played a team with the talent of a Utah yet. The Utah Utes are still the tough-minded defensive side they’ve been in years past, but this year’s squad has above-average offensive ability. Utah is dangerous this season and is also a strong 6-2 ATS on the year. I can’t step in front of Utah, especially for a Radford team that hasn’t had the toughest schedule in the world. Thick line, but Utah should win comfortably at home.
