ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll probably stay with Eastern Washington in this one. The Eagles are on a nice 11-game winning streak right now and looking great. Eastern Washington has hit 70 or more points in 11 of their last 12 outings as well. As for Weber State, they’ve got some good scoring outings in the bag lately but they’ve also got a couple of duds mixed in there. I like the Wildcats to hang around for the first half or so, but I don’t think they’ll keep the pace if Eastern Washington plays to their capabilities.
