Southern Utah vs Seattle U Prediction
The Southern Utah Thunderbirds have had issues stepping up in competition this season, and they’re 1-6 SU on the road. The Seattle U Redhawks have been hit or miss all year, but they’re coming off back-to-back wins, and they’ve seen five of their seven wins this season come at home. The price is a little steep, and it’s fair to question if Seattle U has the defense to allow a cover of a decent sized number. Seattle doesn’t allow a ton of points but does give up 46.4 percent shooting from the field. Still, Southern Utah is in awful form at the moment. Give me Seattle and the chalk at home.
