Boise State vs Fresno State Prediction
In this Boise State vs Fresno State prediction, Louisville is coming as -5.5 home favorites. Both teams have been excellent this season with an identical 4-1 record, but Fresno has covered the spread in its last four games and has a superior defense, allowing 5.3 points per game less than Boise, who on the other hand, has not covered the spread in two of its last three. Fresno has won its last four meetings against Boise, including a dominating 30-7 win last season, so I expect them to win and cover the spread today at home.
