The Portland State Vikings and the UC Riverside Highlanders will do battle in Riverside, California on Saturday, November 18th, 2017 at 7:00 PM ET. The two parties have not met since 2014 where Riverside went to work on Portland State, defeating the Vikings 88-62 on its own court. The affair will be aired on Big West TV. The two teams enter on contrasting notes. Portland State comes into the contest undefeated as they have won their opening two contests to start off the 2017-18 season. The Vikings opened up with a huge 80-75 win against cross-city rival Portland to follow this up with a 111-60 win against WMETE. Riverside has played a rugged stretch in its own right. The Highlanders own the most impressive win of the two so far as they took down the California Golden Bears on their own court to kick off their campaign. Since the epic defeat, the Highlanders were upended by Loyola Marymount on the road, falling by a score of 76-64 despite closing as a five-point pup. Portland State’s last game was on Tuesday, UCRV’s last outing was on Monday.

Portland State Vikings at UC Riverside Highlanders Prediction

One result is selling this market above all else: Riverside’s defeat of California as a 13.5-point road pup. However, this is likely overstated and is creating an overreaction as a result. While we cannot dismiss the value of the victory, the Golden Bears were likely caught napping on their own court. Had this match-up transpired later in the season, perhaps Cal would have handled it differently. One thing that is for certain is that Portland State will give no concessions to the Highlanders. The opening line suggests that not only can Portland State be competitive in this contest, they can win it outright on Riverside’s own court. Thus, the Vikings are certainly worth a look on the Money Line here. For those trying play it safe, you can take back the bucket. However, chances are you won’t need it.
