Fresno State Bulldogs at Boise State Broncos 2010 NCAAF Week 12 Odds, Preview, and Predictions: Head football coach Pat Hill will lead his Fresno State Bulldogs onto the blue turf of Bronco Stadium as they travel to take on the Boise State Broncos Friday night at 9:30 PM ET on ESPN2. The Bulldogs are 6-3, 4-2 but only good 4th in the Western Athletic Conference while the Broncos are 9-0, 5-0 1st in the WAC. Fresno is on a 3 game winning streak but lost to Nevada and running back Robbie Rouse is on a roll racking up 769 yards and 7 touchdowns in their last for games. “He’s doing a better job of being a one-cut runner instead of doing too much dancing,” Fresno State coach Pat Hill said. “I don’t like it when he dances.” “Rouse has come on like gangbusters the last few weeks,” Boise State head football coach Chris Petersen said. “He’s powerful. He’s shifty. He breaks tackles. We knew he was good last year, so it’s no surprise what he’s doing right now.” The Broncos are led by quarterback Kellen Moore who is looking very much like a Heisman Trophy finalist. Vegas odds makers have the Boise State Broncos a -30 1/2 point favorite at home against the Fresno State Bulldogs.
The Broncos are on a 23 game winning streak the longest in the FBS winning last week 52-14 on the road at Idaho. Quarterback Kellen Moore completed 19 of 26 passes for 216 yards and 3 touchdowns before sitting out late in the game. Running back Doug Martin carried the ball 16 times for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns. Vegas odds makers have Kellen Moore at +700 odds to win the Heisman Trophy.
The Bulldogs are coming off a home loss to Nevada 35-34 leaving them just 3-4 against the spread for the season. Quarterback Ryan Colburn completed 16 of 26 passes for 194 yards and 2 touchdowns while carrying the ball 8 times for just 7 yards. Running back Robbie Rouse carried 26 times for 217 yards and 2 touchdowns the first time in Fresno State history a back has had back to back 200 yard rushing games. The total has gone OVER in 5 of Fresno State’s last 5 games on the road. Odds makers at BetUS have the over/under for the total score at 53 points combined of the Fresno State Bulldogs and Boise State Broncos.
I predict a Boise win at home.
