Eastern Washington vs BYU Prediction 

BYU rolls into this matchup ranked in the top 10 and they are 7-0 at home this year. The Cougars are shooting 50% from the field and they have scored at least 85 points in four of their last five. Eastern Washington is 0-8 on the road and they are shooting 47% from the field. The Eagles have allowed at least 88 points in three of their last five games and I don’t think they are going to get many stops here. Take the over in this matchup.
