The Broncos won both matchups against the Aztecs last season in spectacular fashion, including a 79-77 overtime victory at home in the previous meeting.

The Broncos have won their last five games, including conference victories over Air Force, San Jose State and Wyoming. Boise State is one of three Mountain West teams (Utah State and New Mexico are the others) that are off to a 3-0 start in conference play.
San Diego State opened conference play with a blowout win over Fresno State on the road last month. The Aztecs were on a five-game winning streak before losing to Utah State 67-66 in their final game.

San Diego State vs. Boise State Prediction, Picks
All odds via SportsLine consensus
Both matchups between San Diego State and Boise State went down to the wire last season. Boise State beat San Diego State at home 67-66 in the first meeting and beat the Aztecs again less than two months later after Cam Martin made two free throws in overtime. This match should still be played until the end, but don’t be surprised if the road team springs an upset. Pick: San Diego State +3.5
