The Seattle U Redhawks are off to a strong start and look good defensively, but they haven’t exactly played anybody up to this point, so the jury is still out. The UNLV Rebels have scoring issues and aren’t shooting the ball well, but they haven’t had the easiest schedule up to this point. UNLV is due for a bounce back performance and this is a much easier contest. I’ll lay the chalk with the Rebels.
