Idaho State vs Montana Prediction
Idaho State has games here and there where it plays above its average and is 13-6 ATS on the season, but it’s not consistent. Montana is rolling offensively and playing probably its best ball of the season. Montana is 5-0 SU and ATS in its last five games. Montana is also 12-1 SU at home this season. While Idaho State blasted Montana last month, it’s the favorite that’s now covered each of the last seven games between the Bengals and Grizzlies. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I like Montana to continue its dominance at home and get revenge on Idaho State.
