Idaho State Bengals Betting Form
Idaho State has been competitive but unpredictable. They prefer a slower pace and rely heavily on halfcourt offense, particularly their midrange game and drive-and-kick action. Their 3-point shooting has improved slightly, but they still struggle when forced into a shootout.
Defensively, they’ve been solid — ranking top-three in the Big Sky in points allowed per game — but foul trouble and poor rebounding have cost them in key spots. The Bengals’ best chance here is to keep it low-scoring and limit transition.

Weber State Wildcats Betting Form
Weber State is the more complete team in this matchup. They’ve got strong guard play, a top-two Big Sky offense, and a proven home-court edge. They space the floor well, hit threes, and move the ball with purpose. Their defensive pressure also ramps up at home, where they force more turnovers and play faster.
The Wildcats have covered four of their last five games and seem to be peaking at the right time. If they can push the pace and hit their perimeter shots early, they could run away with this one.

Idaho State vs Weber State Predictions and Best Bets
Weber State -6.5 is the side here. They’re at home, they’re in better form, and their offensive balance should expose Idaho State’s defensive gaps. The Bengals will likely hang early, but once foul trouble sets in, Weber’s depth takes over.
The total at 134.5 is tricky. Lean Under due to Idaho State’s pace and limited scoring punch, but not strong enough to bet. Better value sits with the side.
Best Bet: Weber State Wildcats -6.5 (-110).
