Weber State vs Northern Arizona Prediction
In this Weber State vs Northern Arizona Prediction, Weber State is coming as -1.5 road favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records this season, but Northern Arizona has been almost perfect at home, while Weber State has been terrible on the road. Both teams are struggling lately, as Northern Arizona is 2-7 in its last 9 games and Weber State 2-3 in its last 5 and 1-5 against the spread, so I see no value on either side. Both teams have been playing some higher-scoring games lately, going for 6-1 to the over in their last 7 games combined, so I expect another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 148.5 points.
