Northern Arizona at Arizona picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 52, Northern Arizona 10

Moneyline

The Lumberjacks have only beaten Arizona twice in their 18 meetings, dating back to 1931. This is a classic regional payday game for NAU, an FCS team in the Big Sky, plays home games in a stadium that holds a little more than 7,000 people.

Arizona won 38-3 last year.

You can’t bet the moneyline anyway, so don’t worry about any wager here.

PASS.

Against the spread

The last matchup was a 35-point win by Arizona, but if that were to happen this weekend, it would be an NAU cover.

Arizona’s offense torched New Mexico, as QB Noah Fifita passed for 422 yards and 4 TDs. WR Tetairoa McMillan hauled in 10 passes for 304 of those yards and all 4 scores.

If they did that against an FBS team, how bad will it be Saturday?

BET ARIZONA -35.5 (-110). 

Over/Under

Arizona scored 61 points last week. Scoring 50 seems like a lock this weekend. The question is whether NAU can get 2 scores. The Lumberjacks did put up 66 points last week, so maybe they can get to at least 10 points.

BET OVER 61.5 (-110).

Northern Arizona vs. Montana State picks and predictions

Prediction

Montana State 73, Northern Arizona 65

Moneyline

PASS.

Montana State (-350) should emerge with the victory but there is no need to risk 3 1/2 times your potential return when it should win by margin. Focus on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN MONTANA STATE -7.5 (-110).

The Bobcats are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games against a team with a losing record and are 11-7 ATS this season when favored by 5 or more points.

The Bobcats’ offense ranks 122nd in the nation in points per game (73.9) while the Lumberjacks’ defense ranks just 292nd in opponent points per game (74.4). Expect the Bobcats to overwhelm the Lumberjacks on the offensive side of the court to put this game out of reach in the closing minutes.

Over/Under

BET OVER 135.5 (-105).

The Over is 5-0 in the Lumberjacks’ last 5 games, 5-0 in their last 5 games following an outright victory, 6-0 in their last 6 games following an ATS victory and 4-0 in their last 4 neutral site games.

For the Bobcats, the Over is 5-2 in their last 7 games following an outright victory and 4-0 in their last 4 Wednesday games.

The Over is a combined 7-3 between the Lumberjacks and Bobcats at neutral sites this season and a combined 3-1 in tournament play so far.

Northern Arizona at Northern Colorado odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Northern Colorado 78, Northern Arizona 69

Money line

PASS.

Against the spread

The Bears are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games, the Lumberjacks are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as road underdogs and the Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five NAU-UNC meetings.

This corner had Northern Arizona +5.5 and the Under 148.5 in Saturday’s matchup. Although a bounce-back from Northern Colorado can be expected, that side and Under are still workable plays on Monday.

BACK THE LUMBERJACKS +9.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Northern Arizona won the pace war Saturday. In a matchup where both teams figure to be short on second looks, quick transition points, and free-throw attempts, TAKE THE UNDER 148.5 (-107) in the Monday meeting.

Northern Colorado at Northern Arizona odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Northern Colorado at Northern Arizona odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Northern Colorado Bears (10-11, 5-4 Big Sky) and Northern Arizona Lumberjacks (8-13, 4-6) clash Saturday for a Big Sky showdown in Flagstaff, Ariz. The contest at J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome is slated to tip-off at 4 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Northern Colorado vs. Northern Arizona odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Northern Colorado dropped a high-scoring home game to Portland State Thursday. The Bears were on the short end of a 106-99 score in a game that saw a combined 27 3-pointers find twine. The setback marked the third loss in a row for UNC, which ranks 10th in the 11-team Big Sky Conference with 77.5 points allowed per game.

Northern Arizona clocked a low-scoring win at Sacramento State Thursday. The Lumberjacks came back from an 8-point second-half deficit in earning just their second road win of the season. A high-frequency 3-point-shooting NAU squad went 11-of-27 (40.7%) from distance for the game. The Lumberjacks are shooting 41.3% on 3s since Jan. 5.

Northern Colorado at Northern Arizona odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Northern Colorado 74, Northern Arizona 71

Money line

Both these teams can shoot from the perimeter and both struggle in defending the 3-ball. Northern Arizona does struggle against faster-paced teams like UNC, but the Bears are coming off a bit of a grind in this week’s travel and the ability to hit treys gives the Lumberjacks a puncher’s chance.

Peg NAU as having about a 35% win probability for this one, and that makes for a borderline value on LUMBERJACKS (+190). Consider a line watch and a move on a figure of +200 or more, or perhaps a secondary play in concert with an ATS wager.

Against the spread

Consider a partial-unit play on NORTHERN ARIZONA +5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

3-pointers aside, every other component of microwave scoring (free-throw attempts, second-chance points, and turnover-transition looks) spells a lower score in this matchup.

The Under is 4-1 NAU’s last four games as an underdog. TAKE THE UNDER 148.5 (-108) in this one.
