The Broncos have one of the top offense in the country, as they average 43.6 points per-game, which is the most in the nation. The Broncos have been effective on offense because of steady play from quarterback Kellen Moore, who has 2,558 yards and 32 touchdown passes with just three interceptions. Jeremy Avery has been also been solid at running back, rushing for 892 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games. The Aggies have been a defense that are notorious for giving up a lot of points, allowing 30.7 points and 435.9 yards per-game.
Boise State’s defense has had just as much success as the offense, holding opponents to 16.9 points per-game. The Broncos have 20 interceptions as a team, which is the most in the country. The Utah State offense is posting 27.6 points per-game and been led by running back Robert Turbin, who has 1,122 yards rushing with nine touchdowns.
This picks seems pretty straight forwards as it looks as if the Broncos should be able to cover with ease against the Aggies. Boise State’s offense should be able to score at will while the Utah State offense is respectable, but facing the toughest defense it has met all season. If Turbin can help sustain lengthy offensive drives for Utah State, the Aggies could cover the point spread odds, but trends this season and in this series show that Boise State should be able to cover. We suggest a pick of Boise State with the over.
