T.M. Selection: UTEP Miners

I like the UTEP Miners to cover the spread against the Boise St Broncos on Friday. UTEP comes into this game off a loss, where they had as many first downs as their opponent. Although their record doesn't look the greatest, the Miners have been competitive in every game this season other than maybe the OU game where they actually had 3 more first downs than the Sooners. Boise St has been solid this year, but they haven't really been able to blow any team out yet. They struggled a bit last week to put up points against a very weak Tennessee Martin team. Looking at this matchup, Boise State has the better team overall, but I expect UTEP to keep it close as their fans should give them a little bit more fight and confidence.

T.M. Prediction: 23-16 Boise St.
