Bet on Boise State vs. San Diego State
San Diego State has been carried by its defense and its physicality. Boise State has that capability as well, but the Broncos haven’t shown an ability to match physical teams up front. San Diego State wants to control the line of scrimmage and limit possessions for Boise State. That is likely to lead to another under. SDSU is 16-7-1 with the under in its last 24 at home and Boise has hit the under in its last four in October. Look for another low-scoring game tonight.
