PICK: I’m going to stick with Seattle. The Redhawks have looked pretty good during this seven-game win streak. They’ve hit 71 or more points in every outing and have held opponents to 68 points or fewer in four of the last five. Stephen F. Austin has given up 72 or more points in four of their last six games, so if Seattle’s offense is working the Redhawks shouldn’t have much trouble scoring here. I like a higher-total outcome in this one with Seattle powering out a cover.
