Idaho vs Sacramento State Prediction

In this Idaho vs Sacramento State Prediction, Idaho is coming as -3.5 road favorites. Idaho has been the better team this season but has been very bad against the spread with a 9-15 ATS record. They have also been struggling lately with a 2-6 record in their last 8 games and are up against a Sacramento team that has lost four straight, but are 7-2 ATS at home. I cannot pick a side here and both teams are 7-3 to the over in their last 10 games combined and the over is also 3-1 in their last 4 head-to-head meetings. With Sacramento having a bottom-10 defense in the entire nation, I have to go over the 163 points in this one.
