Seattle vs Portland State Prediction
The Seattle U Redhawks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but they haven’t been impressive so far this season, and they have little offense to speak of. The Portland State Vikings can control the pace and score, which could make Seattle uncomfortable. Also, Portland State gave Washington State a run earlier this season and beat Wofford outright as 6 point dogs. Portland State isn’t a pushover. Give me the points.
