They are going up against a Weber State team that has been very good in recent games though and they have been smashing teams by double digits on the road in their last 3 games. They have been even better at home this season winning a lot of their games by 20 or more points at home and they will likely do the same here with how well they have been playing on the road recently. The best bet to place in this game is on Weber State to cover the spread here.

“Our players responded. They were communicating, they were urgent, and they really took the stuff we talked about after the Northern Colorado game seriously. It shows what’s in them.” - David Riley on his team’s win against Idaho State.

 

 

“I don’t know if it was, Monday night we played our tails off and that was kind of an emotional win. We didn’t look like we had a lot of emotion, a lot of enthusiasm … might be a little bit of a hangover. We didn’t play very fast.” - Randy Rahe on his team’s win against Northern Colorado.
