Lamar vs. UTSA Prediction
I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I’m backing the over here. I don’t trust either side in the slightest defensively, and we just saw this matchup a few days ago and it went well over 170 points. I could honestly see a similar result here, so I’ll take the over in this one.
