Southern Utah vs UTRGV Prediction

The UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but we’ve also seen them fail to cover their last two games as a favorite. Grande Valley got rocked by Lamar despite being a 7-point favorite. The UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros score a lot, but their pace leads to high-scoring games at both ends and can create a dangerous situation in terms of covers and simply winning. Southern Utah should have offensive success and a chance to win late. Give me the bucket.
