Welcome back college basketball fans! We have combed through today’s rather lackluster schedule, and I believe we found a good spot for a cover with a possible outright victory!
We’ve been on a short family trip out West and am back in the saddle looking to keep cashing these article plays for you guys! All eyes turn to the Viking Pavilion in Portland Oregon as we take a dive into the Weber State vs Portland State matchup at 10:00 pm EST.
Saturday, February 8 at 9:00 PM | Spread | Money | Total |
Idaho State Bengals | -1.5 (-110) | -115 | O 140.5 (-110) |
Weber State Wildcats | +1.5 (-120) | +100 | U 140 (-115) |
I like Weber State in this spot, as my model has their +150 ML flagged as a +EV value play tonight! The model also likes Weber State to keep the game within 2.5 spread and we are getting 3.5 to 4.5. I also like the fact they have won 3 of the last 4 games against Portland State, and the one loss was by 3 points!
After losing two straight, the Wildcats are due for a strong performance. Especially if their best player, Blaise Threatt, returns tonight, which I believe he will. As road underdogs, Weber State is a team you can trust with your money. They have covered the spread in 10 of their last 13 road games when the spread is within 4.
Portland State's average scoring margin this season is just above 1.5 points, averaging 74 and allowing 72. They are also just 2-2 against the spread as home favorites. I do believe they are due for a little regression here as they have covered 4 points in 4 of their last 6 and 3 of their last 4 games.
Even though Weber State has struggled to find wins, even without their best player, they have covered 4 in 6 of their last 9 games overall! With Threatt and company looking to get back in the win column, against a team they have built up confidence in playing, this game has a great chance to go down to the wire and stay close. Take Weber State to keep it within 4 and if you don’t have access, I would pay to get 4.5!
My Best Bets:
1.5% - Weber State +4 (-120) Hard Rock
