Utah State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 Friday games while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games following an ATS win. Boise State is 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 conference games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 home games.
I get the case to be made on either side in this game, but I like the over here. These are two teams that have been finding their offense more often than not lately, especially Utah State, and for Boise, they’ve played to four straight overs at home and I think given the matchup, we make it five straight here. Give me the over.
