Boise State at San Jose State picks and predictions
Prediction
Boise State 34, San Jose State 23
Moneyline
Boise State (-650) will cost you more than 6 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for a standalone play, or as part of a multi-leg parlay play. It is just not enough reward.
AVOID.
Against the spread
SAN JOSE STATE ALTERNATE SPREAD +13.5 (+104) is worth a play at plus-money catching nearly 2 touchdowns.
The Spartans rank 75th in the nation with 152.4 rushing yards per game, and that’s bad news against Heisman Trophy candidate RB Ashton Jeanty. The latter has managed 1,734 rushing yards, 7.7 yards attempt and 23 rushing scores, while also adding a receiving touchdown.
While San Jose State is 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games, it did cover its only previous game this season as a double-digit underdog at Washington State Sept. 20.
Over/Under
UNDER 61.5 (-110) is the lean, but be careful.
The Under has cashed in 4 in a row, and 6 of the past 8 outings. At home, the total has gone low in 2 of the past 3 games for the Spartans.
For the Broncos, the Under has cashed 3 of the past 4 games, with the offense struggling lately with 29 or fewer points in those 3 Under results.
