Why Boise State can cover
Boise State's 1-2 record matches its record against the spread so far. The Broncos covered in their opening loss to UCF before failing to in Weeks 2 and 3. History is on their side this weekend, though. Boise State has had Utah State's number in recent years.
The Broncos have covered the spread in seven of their previous 10 games against Utah State. Boise State won eight of those matchups by double-digits. The favorites have a clear edge given their 17-3 record against the underdogs in the all-time series.
Why Utah State can cover
The Aggies are a perfect 3-0 both straight up and against the spread and they're coming off a thrilling 49-45 win over Air Force last week. Both teams piled up over 600 yards of total offense with Utah State winning the battle 628-619. The Aggies came back from an 11-point deficit with under 11 minutes remaining to secure the win.
Andrew Peasley took over for an injured Logan Bonner and found Deven Thompkins for a 72-yard touchdown strike to cut the deficit to three points before Calvin Tyler Jr. struck pay dirt on a 61-yard touchdown run with less than four minutes remaining to win the game. Tyler rushed for 132 yards and two scores in the victory and he'll be a key part of the gameplan against a Boise State defense allowing 201.7 yards per game this season.
