Idaho state need to win, losing the last 3 straight road games and they've been 3-0 at home this season..... but I'm taking Montana State. Montana State has owned this matchup 7-3 in the last 10 but admittedly these teams play each other close to the vest most of the time which is why the line is so close. Montana State have 3 players averaging more points than Idaho States entire team, and despite being the better defense overall, Idaho State have allowed 7-3 games to go over the total while averaging 68 points per game, so thr defense is more faulty than the stats say. Idaho hasn't won a game in this matchup since 2018. Montana State are the much better shooters from the free-throw line too so if it comes down to it (as the line suggests it could) we have the edge in a late game fouling situation. Idaho state will be fighting tooth and nail to get a win here, but they're turning the ball over too much and Montana will be aiming to get to .500 with a win here.

Official Play: Montana State +1.5

Side Bet: Under 136
