San Jose State at Boise State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Boise State 34, San Jose State 27
Money line (ML)
Boise State (-435) was outclassed by BYU earlier in the month, but it has racked up 92 total points on offense in the past two outings. The Broncos are healthier, and that’s been the difference.
You can’t risk four and a half times your potential return, however. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
SAN JOSE STATE +12 (-110) catching double digits from Boise State seems a bit much. Yes, the Spartans do not have the recent run of success like the Broncos, but San Jose State has been very powerful on offense, registering 258.2 passing yards per game with 40.0 points per game. If the Spartans can bring the effort on defense, they have the chance to even spring the outright upset.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 58.5 (-106) is the best play on the board in this Mountain West clash. The Over has hit in five of the past six on the road for San Joe State and is 4-1 in its past five as a road dog. The Over is 4-0 in Boise State’s past four conference tilts, while cashing in five straight overall on the season.
