The BCS Buster darlings are at it again this year. The Broncos are a perfect 8-0 this year and look to have another easy road to perfection. Is this another easy contest tonight for Boise State? Not really. This is Louisiana Tech’s Bowl Game. The Broncos have always had trouble in Ruston despite winning there the last 3 times. They have never won by more than 17 points in each of those last three. Maybe it’s the long trip to Louisiana or maybe it’s just playing down to inferior competition. Probably a little bit of both. The Bulldogs have a high enough powered offense to hang around for a while and then pull out the late cover. Take the Bulldogs and the points. LA Tech is 3-0 ATS at home this year.
Pick: Louisiana Tech +21.5
