TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION TUESDAY, JANUARY 3RD
#630 BOISE ST (-10′) over San Jose St at 9 PM EST
After dropping two straight on the road at Santa Clara and Nevada, Boise State will return home and destroy San Jose State. The Broncos have won 10 straight in this series and own a spotless 20-0 SU mark when facing the Spartans in their own backyard. SJSU checks into this contest off three consecutive straight up wins over Cal Poly, UNLV, and Colorado State, and head coach Tim Miles and his crew will have problems here.
Technically speaking, this is a highly profitable spot for BSU. At home hitting the court off a pointspread victory, the Broncos have been a cash cow inking a sensational 55-8 SU and 39-19 ATS record. In this spot arriving off a road war, head coach Leon Rice’s kids improve to a solid 33-4 SU and 26-10 ATS. With those two parameters cranking away and Boise State favored by -6 or more, this angle jumps to a reliable 23-1 SU and 18-6 ATS. That bodes well for the Broncos.
Even though San Jose State comes in here hot, this will be a difficult journey for the Spartans. As a guest facing a foe that checks in without steam off a straight up loss, SJSU holds a woeful 76-114-5 ATS provided their opponent takes the floor with four or more days of rest. In this setting holding a pointspread won/loss percentage of .501 or better, Coach Miles and his kids fall to a pitiful 21-45-2 ATS including a nasty 8-27-1 ATS if they are competing with revenge of any kind.
The Broncos own the league’s top scoring defense allowing an average of 59.4 points per game and they’ll lean on that tenacious stop unit to help grab this win and cover. Take Boise State. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
