Northern Arizona vs Eastern Washington Prediction

Give me the home team, even though they are struggling heading into this game. Away from home this season, Northern Arizona has gone 3-5, and I just don’t believe their defense can make enough stops here. Eastern Washington is averaging 73.6 points per game but they are going to go well over that number here. Northern Arizona will stick around in the first half, but in the second half, it’s going to be Eastern Washington that pulls away. Back Eastern Washington against the spread.
