Boise State takes its No. 4 ranked act to Toledo to face the MAC’s Rockets Friday, giving 17 points on the road.
It’s the marquee college football betting action for Friday and the Broncos enjoy plenty of rest, having not played since a Week 1 thrashing of Georgia. The teams met last year and Boise State was favored by 39 points, but still covered the spread in a 57-14 rout.
This time could be different. Toledo hammered New Hampshire to start the season, then were very competitive last week in losing to Ohio State. They easily covered the NCAA football point spread to move to 2-0 ATS on the season.
