Grand Canyon vs. Tarleton Prediction

I’m on Grand Canyon here. Tarleton just hasn’t been able to consistently put it together this season to where I feel comfortable backing them, even at home where they are 8-1 this season. Grand Canyon really stumbled against Cal Baptist and there’s no margin for error if they’re going to try to catch Utah Valley atop the WAC as there are no more head-to-head opportunities in the regular season. I think the Lopes focus up here and beat up on Tarleton as the head-to-head history between these two teams has shown that there have been a lot of blowouts when these two square off. Give me the Antelopes in this one.
