F-Unit Play. Take #796 Montana State (-2.5) over Weber State (9 p.m., Thursday, December 30)
Montana State will be our big play of the day, having been SU winners of eight of their past nine and taking care of business on their home court (4-0 at home and 2-0 on neutral floors). This game will be won or lost behind the arc as the Bobcats shoot 38% from 3-point range and defend their opponents too. Luckily for Weber State, this isn't a strength (30% on the season), however, they are an awful 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. Granted, their opponents in those games have included Fresno State, BYU, Utah State, and Washington State, but for as well as the Wildcats started, there was hope they could have won some of these contests. Since Weber State is on the road and begins the Montana stretch of their trip, we're suggesting giving up the points before they grow even more.
B-Unit Play. Take #801 Utah (-4.5) over Oregon State (9 p.m., Thursday, December 30)
Utah enters this ball game with one of the more inconsistent lines in the Pac-12. Thankfully, the Utes see Oregon State, a team in total disarray, in less than a five-point game where the number has grown since opening. Utah has not won consecutive games since before Thanksgiving, and with a date against Oregon and then hosting the Washington schools, they won't be tripped up by a Beavers squad that is as bad ATS as they are SU. All the metrics point to Utah being able to score in the 70s while Oregon State won't be able to crack that number. Take the road favorite here.
