I get the case to be made on either side in this game, but I’m going to take a shot on Weber State and the points. I just think this is a case of too many points as I think this is a 2-3 point game whichever way you slice it. Weber State doesn’t have the best road win-loss record, but they’ve been competitive on the road and I think they keep it close at the very least. Give me the points with Weber State.
