This lines up a solid situational play on Boise State, which can grab a share of first place in the Mountain West Conference with a win over Nevada on Wednesday. The Broncos were competitive in the first meeting before falling by six in Reno, but proved they could hang with the Wolf Pack. Chandler Hutchison, who leads Boise State in points, rebounds and assists, is likely the best player in the conference. Nevada scoring leader Caleb Martin is hampered by a foot injury and was held to 10 points in 23 minutes against San Diego State on Saturday.
The coaching and talent level is similar for these squads, but Nevada's strength is on the offensive end of the floor, while Boise State defends at an extremely high level. Nevada has struggled against the spread as of late, going 3-8 in their last 11 and 4-8 in conference with a 4-5-1 away ATS record. Boise State is 7-5 ATS at home and 7-6 in conference. Boise State also has the best player on the court in Chandler Hutchinson. I like Boise State by six!
