Seattle is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Dixie State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
I get why a home dog is worth a look, but this is a low line considering that Seattle is the far better team on both ends of the floor. I would hope that Dixie State shows up for Senior Day, but in the end I just see Seattle being too much. Give me the Redhawks laying the points here.
