South Dakota State at Boise State picks and predictions
Prediction
Boise State 83, South Dakota State 79
Moneyline
PASS.
Unless South Dakota State +235 is going to pull of an upset, this number is too large to wager on.
Against the spread
BET SOUTH DAKOTA STATE +7.5 (-120).
The Jackrabbits come into this game after losing to Akron by 1 point on Monday. After having a game to warm up, they can keep it close in this matchup. This is the same scenario we found in the Coppin State vs. Georgetown game on Tuesday. An 18.5-point spread turned into only a 10-point 99-89 overtime win for Georgetown. The Jackrabbits may not win, but it will be closer than the 7.5 spread.
Over/Under
BET OVER 144.5 (-110).
South Dakota State managed 80 points in the overtime loss on Monday. They will only need to get to 70 for this game to go over the total, which they scored in regulation against Akron. With Boise State playing high tempo, both teams should and will get into the 70s. Over 144.5 (-110) is my favorite play.
