Utah Tech vs Southern Utah Prediction
This line makes absolutely no sense. Not only did Southern Utah win both games against Utah Tech, which includes a seven-point win on the road a couple of weeks ago, but the Trailblazers have lost 14 straight games and haven’t won in two months. Southern Utah has issues of its own and isn’t a team you should be excited to back, but its last two wins came against Utah Tech. Favored? I’m not buying this line at all and I’m certainly not laying points with Utah Tech. Give me Southern Utah and the points, and I’ll be on the ML as well.
