The Fresno State Bulldogs, winners in 5-of-7 games straight up and 4-of-6 against the betting spread (ATS) are +3- point home underdogs to the visiting Boise State Broncos (6-1 SU, 2-4 ATS) when the game, to be televised on ESPN2, kicks off at 9 p.m. ET Friday night. Oddsmakers at online sportsbook BetOnline.com also set the game total at 63.
For those unfamiliar with the WAC, this is a rivalry game and the Bulldogs have a chip on their shoulders having to play the home underdog roll.
"We have been looking forward to this game for a while," said FSU head coach Pat Hill. “We are looking forward to a sea of red when we take the field on Friday night against a program that's won the last five WAC championships. As I've said, the WAC title goes through Boise State and we get our chance this week. It's a great opportunity."
Seldom has Boise State met much resistance against WAC competition from other than the Bulldogs. But in the Bronco’s last foray into Fresno, they had their heads handed to them by the Bulldogs in a 27-7 licking they will never forget.
FSU has won 7 of its last 8 WAC games dating back to the 2006 season. With a win Friday, the Bulldogs can become bowl eligible for the eighth time in the last nine seasons Boise State and Fresno State are ranked 18th and 19th in the NCAA, respectively, in rushing yards. Only seven yards separate the two schools.
The Broncos scored 28 points in the second half to defeat the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 45-31 last week. The Broncos failed to cover the 15.5-point spread on the road, but the 76 points sailed OVER the posted total of 54.
The Bulldogs remained perfect in conference play with a 30-0 win over the San Jose State Spartans last week, as 13.5-point favorites. The final score fell UNDER the posted total of 57.5.
