Boise State Broncos QB Kellen Moore is aiming for his 40th career victory Friday night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Boise State will play its second of three games on the ESPN family of networks Friday night and enjoyed a week off since its 35-21 win over the Georgia Bulldogs as 3-point neutral-site favorites in the Georgia Dome.\u00a0 The Broncos will be playing the Rockets for the second time in school history, picking up a 57-14 win as 38-point home favorites last year, while going over the posted total of 60.\u00a0 It was an impressive effort in finishing with a 213-yard advantage, but head coach Chris Petersen knows the opponent is dangerous.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s not that surprising,\u201d commented Petersen.\u00a0 \u201cEven when we played the last year we had one of those games where kind of everything went right for us.\u201d\u00a0 Boise State is 3-0 ATS versus MAC opponents and the \u2018over\u2019 is 2-1 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Broncos were led in last year\u2019s meeting by senior quarterback Kellen Moore, who completed 16-of-22 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns.\u00a0 Boise State\u2019s signal-caller is the active leader in wins nationally (39) and has thrown for 102 touchdowns.\u00a0 He\u2019s benefited greatly from an offensive line that ranked third in the nation a year ago in sacks allowed.\u00a0 It\u2019s carried over to 2011, as the unit failed to surrender a sack against Georgia.\u00a0 The program is likely to move its record to 9-3 against teams hailing from the MAC.<\/p>\n

Toledo nearly missed picking up its biggest win in program history, falling 27-22 to the Ohio State Buckeyes as 17.5-point road underdogs.\u00a0 Third-year head coach Tim Beckman knows he will have to rally the troops in getting them ready for the highest-ranked opponent ever to appear inside the Glass Bowl.\u00a0 \u201cThere\u2019s no question we felt we had an opportunity to win this football game,\u201d commented Beckman about last week\u2019s loss.\u00a0 \u201cWhen you\u2019re playing in games like this, you\u2019ve got to make sure you\u2019re playing all three phases of the game.\u201d\u00a0 The Rockets actually out-gained the Buckeyes by a 37-yard margin.\u00a0 Toledo is 7-5 ATS in home games and the \u2018over\u2019 is 7-4 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Rockets are 6-9 all-time against ranked opponents, but a perfect 4-0 when playing host inside Friday night\u2019s venue.\u00a0 Toledo will be best served to get the ball in the hands of All-America candidate Eric Page, who caught 12 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns last week.\u00a0 On the other side of the ball, the defense is going to have to plug people in due to losing three starters over the first two weeks of the season.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Broncos due to their 8-1 ATS mark in September, while the Rockets are 2-5 ATS as an underdog of 10.5 or more points.<\/p>\n
