Chattanooga vs St. Mary’s Prediction 

St. Mary’s was able to get the victory in their first game of the season against Towson, but it wasn’t pretty and they were outscored in the second half. Chattanooga was blown out by USC in their season opener, but they did rebound the ball pretty well for losing by 26 points. The Gaels had a very good 23-24 season, but they lost a lot of production from that team, so they will not be nearly as good. I do expect the Gaels to get this win, but I think it is too many points for a team that is going to struggle to score this year. Take Chattanooga with the points.
