The Boise State Broncos go on the road to take on the Fresno State Bulldogs tonight in a Western Athletic Conference match-up.

Boise St are in their second year as a member of the WAC and are off a 65-63 overtime win at home over defending conference champions Hawaii as 5 point dogs. They have won three of their last 4 SU and look to take their good form onto the road where they are 2-0 ATS this season. Rebounding will be key for the Broncos as they have been out-rebounded by an average of 9 per game in their three road encounters and tonight face a team that out-muscles opponents with a +7 rebounding differential.

Fresno St can thank Damon Jackson for the game-winning bucket with 4 seconds remaining Saturday night as the Bulldogs beat Rice 71-70. They have won all eight of their home games SU and are 4-3 ATS at Selland Arena.

These teams met twice in 2002 with the honors shared both SU and ATS. But it's worth noting that when Fresno St last hosted Boise St they were 12 point favorites just like they are tonight....and lost outright 61-58!!

The Broncos are giving up just 60 points per game through their last five and we like their chances of keeping this one relatively close...take Boise St to hang tough all night, keep this one to single digits and get the cover.

Recommended Play: Boise St +12.5
