Northern Arizona vs Sacramento State Prediction
In this Northern Arizona vs Sacramento State, Sacramento State is coming as -2.5 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records this season with exactly 11 defeats each, but Sacramento State has been almost perfect at home, while Northern Arizona has been terrible on the road, having lost all of its seven road games. Both teams are coming into this matchup in terrible form, as they are 1-9 and 2-8 in their last 10 games, so I see no value on either side. Both have been involved in some higher-scoring games lately, going for 7-2 to the over in their last 9 games combined, so I expect another high-scoring affair again today. Take the over 152.5 points.
