Meanwhile, the Lindenwood Lions typically have all the answers at home, but on Tuesday BYU proved too difficult a challenge. BYU took their matchup against the Lions by a conclusive 90-61 score. Weber State have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the 12.5-point spread they are up against. They hadn’t treated bettors all too well in the past (they are 3-7), but they might be worth taking a chance on now after beating the spread two games in a row.
