Eastern Washington has been solid in conference play thus far picking up opening wins against Idaho and Montana State, followed by a competitive defeat against Montana in their last outing.
Eastern Washington generally likes to push things on the offensive end and this unit has been led by Bogdan Bliznyuk who's averaging 19.1 points per game.

Idaho State has been one of the bigger disappointments in the Big Sky this season as the Bengals stand just 3-12 overall and 0-2 in conference thus far. Idaho State has mainly been a disappointment on the offensive side of the ball as the Bengals have some solid offensive talent, but this group still ranks just 310th in the nation in scoring average as well as 271st in total defense. Idaho State is riding a 4 game losing streak, but to be fair all of these contests came on the road against quality opposition.
Things have just not been going Idaho State's way this season and a weak interior has put too much burden on the guards to make plays. If Eastern Washington is going to compete for the Big Sky regular season title, then these are the kind of games the Eagles are going to have to pick up on the road. We like the Eagles to come through as they go on to win and cover this small spread.
