This is a good game between two of the best teams in the conference and will be tight for most of the game. The Rams are really good at home and they are just a little better on both sides of the ball, riding a three game streak, so they will pull away late and cover the spread. The difference between the two, even though the Lobos are good at free throw shooting and have a decent defense, and are coming into this game on an eleven game win streak, they have played the weaker schedule of the two so that will show up in the score in the end. The Lobos are not as good on the road as they are at home and they face a really good defensive team who are strong at home.
