San Diego State vs. Boise State prediction, picks
All odds via SportsLine consensus
Both matchups between San Diego State and Boise State went down to the wire last season. Boise State knocked off San Diego State at home 67-66 in the first meeting and defeated the Aztecs again less than two months later after Cam Martin knocked down a pair of free throws in overtime. This game should go down to the wire again, but don't be surprised if the road team delivers an upset. Pick: San Diego State +3.5
