Boise State at Utah State picks and predictions
Prediction
Utah State 78, Boise State 73
Moneyline
PASS.
Despite being confident that the Aggies (-192) will win this game at home, I'm not going to put down almost 2 units to win 1. I would be interested in throwing them into a moneyline parlay, though. I'll save my money for the spread and/or total in this matchup.
Against the spread
BET UTAH STATE -4.5 (-110).
The Aggies have won and covered in their last 3 head-to-head meetings against the Broncos, which includes their last game Jan. 27.
Utah State is 10-1 straight up at home this season and has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 games at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. Boise State is 1-2 ATS in its last 3 road games.

Over/Under
AVOID.
While they went way over the total in their last head-to-head matchup, I'm not confident enough to recommend a bet on the total.
These teams are basically 50/50 on the total over their last 10. They are a combined 11-8-1 going Over in their last 20 games. I don't see an edge there to place a bet.
