We like the Pepperdine Waves to defeat the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks on Saturday at 4:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Pepperdine might not have a great record. But, PEPP has now won it's last two games and is feeling much better about themselves.

The Waves have also won six of their L7 games played against teams from the Big Sky Conference.

Northern Arizona has been shaky on the road. Over it's L5 games played away from home, since last season, NAU is just 1-4 against the spread.

The Lumberjacks are also 3-13 over their L16 games played against teams from the WCC.

They are not going to be able to keep up with Pepperdine today, even with the better record.

Lay the points with the Waves.
