Utah Tech Trailblazers vs. UT Arlington Mavericks Prediction

I’m on Utah Tech here. I get the case to be made for the Mavericks at home where they’ve been better this season, and the line in fairness feels a bit tight when Utah Tech’s been the better team. However, I think Utah Tech has started to believe they can win this conference and are playing very well in fairness, and I think the Trailblazers bag themselves a win and cover on the road here as the better team in this matchup. Give me Utah Tech.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Utah Tech +4.5
