Freddy Hicks has 22.8 PPG and 7.8 RPG through four games while Jakorie Smith has 11.7 PPG with 4.2 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Tarleton up to this point in the year.

Weber State is 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games overall and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss by 20 or more points while the over is 19-9 in their last 28 games following an ATS loss. Tarleton is 1-7 ATS in their last 7 home games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a loss while the under is 7-2 in their last 9 home games against a team with a losing road record.

I get the case to be made for Weber State here as this isn’t normally the kind of number you’re asked to lay with Tarleton. However, the Wildcats just haven’t been very good this season and maybe they’ll pick it up once conference play rolls around, but that doesn’t help them here. Tarleton’s looked pretty good early on and I just think that even if it’s more of a fade fo Weber State than anything else, you have to ride with the Texans here.
