Weber State vs Utah Tech Prediction
The Weber State Wildcats are probably the more talented team, but they’ve also had issues defensively from time to time, and they’ve had no success on the road up to this point. The Utah Tech Trailblazers have issues of their own, but they’ve also covered 4 of their last 5 games, and they’re coming off games against Boise State and Utah State. Games like that should have Utah Tech better prepared moving forward. Makes the Trailblazers battle-tested. I’ll take a shot with the home dog.
