ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll stay with Seattle in this one. The Redhawks didn’t play especially well on Saturday versus Stephen F. Austin, nor did they look great in the Sam Houston matchup last Thursday. That said, this will be an opportunity for Seattle to reorient themselves after posting just 105 combined points over those two games. Abilene Christian has scored pretty well over their last three outings, but the Wildcats also routinely give up big points totals to capable offenses on the other side. Seattle fall into that category, and I think the Redhawks will post an impressive outing here.
