The Weber State Wildcats have beaten up on all the teams they’re supposed to beat this season, and they have a clear edge on the offensive side. The Idaho State Bengals don’t do much of anything right, and they’ve been absolutely dreadful against the number dating back to last season. Idaho State can’t score the basketball, and that’s not good going up against this Weber State side. I have to lay the chalk with the Wildcats.
