Point Spread: 0.00 | -110.00 Montana (Away)
Result: Win
Taking MONTANA here. It might look like a good call taking a home team that scores 90ppg in a Pk'em. Not for me though. I look at a couple bloated scores (116 on Linford, 125 on Portland Bible College! 111 on Willamette) and then at what has been done in conference play (75 Sac State, 74 Eastern Washington - 93 on Montana State who gives up nearly 80ppg). Forget that the Grizzlies have come in covering their last 10. We will focus on a defense giving up less than 70ppg. Montana is one of the top teams in the Big Sky. I did not have the Vikings as high. And I can't discount how they push the tempo. They have beaten 'big names' already this year. (Stanford, Cal, Loyola Marymount, Santa Clara, lost by a bucket to Butler). Conference play is a different animal though. And you have to ask yourself why a team that appears better by their wins and scoring ability is not favored. 4* Money Maker MONTANA GRIZZLIES
