Some Massive Streaks Are On The Line Saturday For Montana VS UC Davis
Saturday night's showdown between the No. 8 Montana Grizzlies and the No. 4 UC Davis Aggies will have massive implications for the rest of the season. For the Grizzlies, Aggies and the national playoff picture. Montana, last I checked, is -6.5 favorites at home against the Aggies.
A large reason why is the home crowd edge that Washington-Grizzly Stadium provides the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have been almost unbeatable at home under Head Coach Bobby Hauck. The numbers back it up.
The Montana Grizzlies have won 13 straight home games in November and December
When the temps get cooler the games mean more. Rivalry games, playoff games and playoff implications litter the last two months of the season. That's when the Griz turn it up a notch. They have won 13 straight Nov/Dec games at Wa-Griz.
