Summary

The game itself might not be the main attraction to the Barstool Arizona Bowl, but it's a great matchup nonetheless.

Central Michigan brings a balanced offense and rolled to win six of their last seven, but Boise State had one of the best defenses in their conference. Boise State has the talent on both sides of the ball to put up a respectable number and use their defense to overwhelm the Central Michigan offense.

Our Pick

Boise State rolls in this one. Too much on defense, not enough firepower on the Central Michigan offense to cover the 8.5. Take the favorite and enjoy the festivities of the Arizona Bowl. We've heard it's a dryyyyy heat.

The Score: Boise State wins and covers, 38-20
