Montana vs Portland State Prediction

Portland State has the rest advantage and is 19-8 ATS on the season. The Vikings should be favored. However, we’re getting a bucket with a Montana team that’s beaten Portland State twice this season. Montana is a strong team at both ends of the floor and that includes having one of the best offenses in the entire country. It’s not easy to beat the same team three times in a season, but the value is with Montana and the bucket anyway.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Montana +2.5
