The Troy Trojans will open the season with a matchup against Boise State Broncos at Albertsons Stadium on Saturday. The Trojans finished last season 10-3 and won their bowl game over Ohio university while the Broncos were 10-1 before dropping their last two games, including a 31-12 setback to Baylor in their bowl game.

The Trojans will welcome back QB Brandon Silvers, RB Jordan Chunn, and almost all their top receivers from last season. Two of three losses last season were by less than a touchdown, and they're 5-1 ATS in their last six games in September and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games.

The Broncos will return Brett Rypien under center and he led the #15 passing attack in the nation (298.3 ypg), but he's lost many of his weapons from the previous season. The Smurf Turf is considered a tough place to play, but note that the Broncos are 0-9 ATS in their last nine home games.

My selection is an 8* play on Troy Trojans.
