[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>In fact it is probably harder given how close they came last week.<\/p>\n<p>For Toledo to have a chance to win it is all about WR Eric Page. \u00a0Page took receptions from two different QBs to the house against the Buckeyes and will need to do at least as much, if not more, against Boise State (he had a superb game last year and they still got thumped). \u00a0The one problem might be how good he was last week. \u00a0It will be no surprise to see the Broncos double and triple team him. \u00a0Running back Adonis Thomas, who is a fantastic receiver, has to be able to run against a team that bottled up the Rockets rushing attack last year (2.1 YPC).<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to the Rockets for scheduling a couple of murderous back to back games. \u00a0Last week they showed a good game plan in stifling Ohio State but OSU isn\u2019t what it has been, or even what it might be later in the year. \u00a0Unfortunately for the Rockets this game will serve as a good benchmark game for Boise and I expect they will use it as such to make a statement. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Rockets might be made an example of by a very good Broncos team.<\/p>\n<h3>Trends:<\/h3>\n<p>BOIST are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games.<br \/>\nBOIST are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 Fri. games.<br \/>\nOver is 7-3 in TOL last 10 games overall.<br \/>\nOver is 7-3 in TOL last 10 games on fieldturf.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATS Pick: \u00a0Boise State -17.5<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Over\/Under Pick: \u00a0Over<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Score Prediction: \u00a0Boise State 52 &#8211; Toledo 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The CappersPicks.com college football weekly predictions pages!
