UTAH STATE vs BOISE STATE PREDICTION PICK
Utah State was leading for most of the game on Wednesday until the final minutes when Boise State pulled away. The score in that game does not reflect how the game played. This is why this line sits at the same number it did a few days ago despite the 9 point win. The public is all over the home team in this one as they expect a repeat performance however the Sharps are on the Aggies to even the series. It is difficult to beat a team twice in a season let alone in the same week. Boise State also had an above-average shooting performance from the field and the foul line which will be very difficult to repeat. This Utah State team has more talent and size and if this game were being played anywhere else Utah State would be the favorite. Given home court is not the same this season the Aggies have a good chance to get a road win. The Bookie is rolling with the Utah State Aggies to cover the spread and possibly win straight up.
