Trends

Nevada is 4-0-2 ATS in their last 6 games following a win and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a home winning percentage above .600 while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. Boise State is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a win and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.

Pick

I’m sticking with the over here. Boise State’s been known to be defense first, but they’ve added an offensive facet to their game lately, scoring 82+ in three straight, while Nevada’s found themselves in high-scoring games all year long and I don’t see that changing in this game. We had a similar number a couple of weeks ago when these two met and I think we get a similar ending here as well. Take the over.
