The late game Friday sees Boise State try and get back on track against Eastern Washington at 9:00 PM ET on FS1. SBR's Phillip Wood takes a look at this matchup in his Eastern Washington vs Boise State prediction:
ATS pick: Boise State -28.5 (-110 FanDuel)
"The Broncos suffering a 27-point loss and looking lifeless offensively is alarming, but Friday will be a totally different story. Eastern Washington was outgained 463-290 in its season opener against Incarnate Word. The school turned the ball over twice while holding possession for fewer than 26 minutes.
Meanwhile, three turnovers doomed the Broncos last week. Despite how bad the final score looked, Boise State outgained South Florida while dominating the time of possession, and the team registered 10 more first downs than the Bulls.
This spread opened at 24.5 before quickly growing to 28.5 at FanDuel and 30.5 through bet365. Get in as soon as possible, as this number will continue to increase."
Best Bet: Under 55.5 (-110 FanDuel)
"Our best sports betting sites clearly expect the Broncos to win easily. And while Boise State shouldn't struggle to score against a team that allowed 31 to a much inferior opponent, there’s also a chance Eastern Washington doesn’t score at all.
However, I’m leaning toward the Under in this game for a few other reasons. Firstly, there are clearly offensive problems for the Broncos without Ashton Jeanty, as exhibited last week. This is not a team I would trust to lay 42 points, which is what this spread and total suggest. And even if the Broncos do score 42, Eastern Washington's offense was terrible last week. It would be shocking if the Eagles register more than 10 points."
