Montana vs Idaho prediction
Montana vs Idaho best bet
Montana vs Idaho best bet: Montana moneyline (+120)
While the Idaho Vandals rate slightly better than the Montana Grizzlies on some analytical metrics, it’s hardly enough to separate these teams.
Instead, I’m more interested in the fact that Montana has now won nine straight games in this series, including both games between these teams this season.
Montana won both regular-season matchups in regulation, winning by six in Idaho and by five at home.
Money Williams (20.6 points per game) has been the leading scorer in the Big Sky this year and will make the difference in taking his team to the big dance. I’m taking the Grizzlies to win outright.

Speaking of trends, these teams have combined to hit the Under in six straight meetings, including both contests this year. I’ll add an Under bet to my SGP and also take Williams to hit his scoring total after averaging 36.0 points per game so far in the Big Sky tournament.

Our beyond the arc SGP: Montana's Money
For my lottery parlay, I’m sticking with Montana to win behind a big game from Williams. I’ll also take Tyler Thompson to grab Over 3.5 rebounds — a target he’s hit in three of his last four games — and Brooklyn Hicks to hit at least two shots from 3-point range after going 4-for-4 from deep in the semifinal round.
