This is a play on the NORTHERN ARIZONA LUMBERJACKS for our Thursday Free Play. These are the two lowest NET ranked teams in the Big Sky Conference but there is a significant gap which is why the line may seem big but it is not big enough. Northern Arizona is coming off a pair of road losses in Montanta but both were by five points and that has been its story this season. The Lumberjacks are 10-7 with five of those seven losses by seven points or less, four by five points or fewer. They are back home where they are 7-1 which is inflated by four non-Division I wins but the rest of the home slate has been decent enough. Sacramento St. was on a three-game winning streak but has dropped its last two games since then with all five of these games coming at home. The Hornets have not played a road game since December 17th and this will be just their second road game since December 4th. They are 1-5 on the road with that in coming at Air Force back in November and their 5-11 record includes just two Division I wins, that Falcons victory and a win over Portland St., both coming by a combined five points. Sacramento St. is No. 346 in the NET rankings and they are one of the worst teams in the country for a reason. Play (808) Northern Arizona Lumberjacks

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.
- Sacramento are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games.
- Houston are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games against Sacramento.
- Sacramento are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home.
Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.
