The Southern Miss. Golden Eagles will travel to Boise, Idaho thursday night to face a Boise State team that has won 13 straight non-conf games at home. This will be the two schools first meeting. The oddsmakers have the Golden Eagles dogged by 10.5 points and we'll tell you why that might not be enough for the Golden Eagles and their backers.
Both teams come into tonights contest with one loss so this is definitley a "must win game" for both teams. Boise St was slow coming out of the gates as they only had 11 returning starters returning and it showed early on. However since the 2nd half of the Washington game, Boise has looked much better and coming off a bye should have ironed out the miscues that plagued them in the first two games of the season. This will be the Golden Eagles 3rd rd game in a row and on a short week at that. It will be a huge amount to ask from a group of kids. Traveling on a short week to play their 3rd road game in a row in one of the toughest venues in college football. If they cannot get their running going against the Bronco defense that is 14th in the country against the run, they will be forced to pass and that has been a problem for them so far this year as they rank 89th in the passing game nationally.

Southern Miss is just 3-6 ats as a road pup last 3 years and have problems covering the spread on the road as they are a bad second half team. The Golden Eagles rank 97th in turnover differential and Boise is 8-3 ats in the past 3 years. The Broncos will get the running game going and while we expect Southern Miss to play well early and hang around, Boise will be too much at home on the blue turf and will pull away in the second half. Lay the points and back the Broncos.
