Seattle Redhawks vs Texas Arlington Mavericks Point Spread Picks

UT Arlington takes their (11-12,4-5) record to Seattle (9-13,4-4). This is a pair of teams in the middle of the WAC standings. This line has come down a few points after their first meeting earlier in the season, where they scored just 122 total points. That game was a true outlier, as both teams combined to have one of their worst shooting nights of the season, combining for just 37.7% shooting. I expect this game is going to see a lot better shooting. This game also fits into a huge totals situation. Home teams where the total is between 140 and 149.5 points - off a home win scoring 85 or more points, with a winning percentage of between 40-49% on the season, are 112-57 to the OVER since 1998. Make the play OVER the total.

Texas Arlington is 3-10 straight up on the road. They prefer to run, though the defense is seventh in the 11-team WAC in points given up (73.5) per game).
