Boise State is 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games after an ATS loss while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Temple is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a loss by 20 or more points.
This is a bit of an interesting spot with both teams coming off of losses on Thursday but Boise had the narrow loss while Temple was blown out but the Owls were competitive in the prior game while Boise took a bad loss to UC-Irvine. I think this is a game where the first to 60 wins, maybe 65, but no way we get to the 130s here. Give me the under.
