Seattle vs Cal Poly Prediction

The Seattle U Redhawks have been in close games twice this season and have been on the losing side both times. Maybe that’s a sign things will eventually break for Seattle, or maybe it’s a sign of a team that can’t finish games. The Cal Poly Mustangs have had a tough start to the season competition-wise, and that should make this club better in the long term. Cal Poly is battle-tested. Cal Poly has also shown some bite offensively. I’ll take a stab with the Mustangs and the points in what should be a fun, high-scoring contest.
