Seattle vs. Abilene Christian Prediction
I’m going to take a shot on Seattle here. Abilene Christian’s hot right now and Seattle just had their win streak snapped, but the RedHawks got to their success with stout defense and solid offense and I think they use both here to take down Abilene Christian. Sure, the Wildcats are at home, but I think Seattle can go on the road and get it done here. Give me the RedHawks.
