The Boise State Broncos continue their tradition of playing anybody anywhere anytime when they hit East Lansing to battle the Michigan State Spartans Friday night.
BSU, coming off a 12-1 season but with a lot of holes to fill, is getting seven points from MSU, which itself lost several key players from the team that lost the inaugural Big Ten championship game last year. [ Bet on MSU latest lines at Sportsbook ]
And history tells us two things about BSU - they are almost never an underdog (just seven times since 2006) and they cover the spread in that role (6-1 ATS).
