The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are a tough team to bet against, as they’re one of the best offensive teams in the country, and they’re playing an Idaho team that’s had issues shooting the ball. With that said, the Idaho Vandals have had a lot of covering success this season, and they went toe to toe with a good Fresno State team on the road. This matchup isn’t pretty on paper, but I’ll grab the points with Idaho anyway.
