San Diego State at Boise State picks and predictions
Prediction
Boise State 27, San Diego State 10
Money line
PASS.
Boise State (-260) money line should hit, but the price is too high. Look to the spread and total for better opportunities.
Against the spread
Boise State should come out extra motivated Friday after an embarrassing loss at UTEP and the firing of offensive coordinator Tim Plough. Former Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter will replace Plough and should roll out a more dynamic offense with dual-threat QB Taylen Green becoming the starter. Lay the points.
BET BOISE STATE -6.5 (-107).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 39.5 (-110).
Boise State’s defense has looked dominant at home and has helped the Under go 4-0 in its last 4 games at Albertsons Stadium. San Diego State should have trouble scoring vs. a motivated Broncos defense looking to bounce back on national television.
