Seattle U has won 7 of their last 8 games with their only loss coming at Washington and has been impressive as of late coming into this game with back-to-back road wins at California Baptist & Abilene Christian. Tarleton has been solid this season and have a 7-2 home record, however, the offense has struggled to put up points and as I think the Redhawks are just the more balanced team, I think the play here is to take Seattle U and the points. Good Luck!
