Eastern Washington vs Northern Colorado Prediction
In this Eastern Washington vs Northern Colorado Prediction, Northern Colorado is coming as -5.5 home favorites. Northern Colorado has been the better team this season, but have been in terrible form lately, with a 1-7 record both straight up and against the spread in their last 8 games. On the flip side, Eastern Washington has been winless in its 10 road games this season and is 3-7 in its last 10 games and 2-4 against the spread, so I see no value on either side. Both offenses have been struggling lately and as a result, both teams are 8-3 to the under in their last 11 games combined. The under is also 3-1 in their last 4 meetings, so I expect another low-scoring affair today. Take the under 157 points.
