Boise State at New Mexico picks and predictions
Prediction
Boise State 31, New Mexico 10
Money line
PASS.
While the Broncos (-1100) should win by margin, betting $1,100 to only win $100 is not worth the risk.
Against the spread
Boise State coach Andy Avalos has not confirmed which quarterback will start Friday.
After Broncos starting QB Hank Bachmeier was pulled Saturday, the 4th-year quarterback should have extra motivation to run up the score if he starts. Bachmeier should be comfortable vs. New Mexico after leading Boise State to a 37-0 win last November in the previous head-to-head meeting.
If Bachmeier starts, BET BOISE STATE -17.5 (-108).
Over/Under
Two strong trends point toward the Under.
The Under is 6-0 in Boise State's last 6 games following an ATS loss and 4-0 in the last 4 vs. New Mexico. The Lobos should have a much tougher time scoring in this matchup than they did vs. the FCS-member Bears.
BET UNDER 44.5 (-112).
