The Idaho State Bengals, (8-12 SU, 6-12 ATS, 10-8 O/U) have won two straight games and six of their last 10 coming into tonight’s matchup against the Weber St. Wildcats, (10-9 SU, 9-7 ATS, 6-10 O/U) who have won seven of their last ten but had their five-game winning streak snapped on Friday, losing at home to the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, 69-56.
Ironically, Idaho State beat Northern Arizona at home in their last game, Sunday, winning 69-67 to cover as 4.5-point underdogs.
Both teams are 5-4 against the spread in their last nine games.
Here is a look at some of the game’s key trends.
The Bengals are 4-1 ATS in their last five Thursday games.
The Wildcats are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a S.U. loss.
The Under is 10-1-1 in Bengals last 12 games following a ATS win.

Analysis: With Weber State being the better team in this contest, not to mention the fact that they are playing at home, it’s easy to see that they will win this game against their conference rivals. Idaho State play almost no defense whatsoever which will be their downfall tonight. Take the Wildcats to cover at home.
