Appalachian State vs Boise State Prediction


While there’s a talent gap between these teams, this line is surprising. Appalachian State has a top-20 total offense and is third in passing offense, so it’s only a matter of time before the offense starts finishing drives. Boise State has issues defensively through 3 games and is 102nd in scoring defense, so this could be the game where App State has an offensive breakthrough. I also find value in points with the team that has the rest advantage, and App State has had an extra week to prepare. Appalachian State has covered 7 of its last 10 games as a double-digit underdog, and 3 of those covers were outright wins. This is also a look ahead for Boise State, with Notre Dame on deck. Give me the points with App State.

Randy Chambers's Pick: App State +17
