On Saturday, they shouldn&#8217;t have any problems with that as the New Mexico State <span class=SpellE>Aggies<\/span> come to visit.<\/p>\n<p> The Broncos are always dominant on their <span class=SpellE>smurf<\/span> turf but this should be a destruction of epic proportions. The <span class=SpellE>Aggies<\/span> haven&#8217;t topped 21 points in any contest this year and has scored a total of 46 points in their last six games combined. Meanwhile, <\/span><\/font><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Boise<\/st1:PlaceName>  <st1:PlaceType>State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> hasn&#8217;t scored less than 44 points in any of their last six games.<\/p>\n<p> As the tale of the tape shows, this will be a very one-sided game. The Broncos have plenty of weapons and they have plenty of motivation. For the <span class=SpellE>Aggies<\/span>, they have lost six straight games are really have nothing to play for.<\/p>\n<p> As you should expect, this game will be extremely one-sided. Lay the points with the Broncos &#8211; as crazy as that sounds.<\/p>\n<p> Picks: <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Boise<\/st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> -47.5<\/p>\n<p> <st1:State><st1:place><b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Arizona<\/span><\/b><\/st1:place><\/st1:State><b><span style='font-weight:bold'> Wildcats @ USC Trojans<\/span><\/b><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncaa-football-lines.com\" title=\"College Football Lines\" id=l3xp>College Football Lines<\/a>: USC -7.5<\/p>\n<p> The USC Trojans don&#8217;t usually lose at home.
