The Boise State Broncos take on the SMU Mustangs on Thursday in a first-round matchup in the National Invitation Tournament.

Boise State is on a four-game losing streak, with its last win coming Feb. 19 against Utah State. The Broncos, who play tough defense, held three consecutive opponents below 70 points in regulation prior to their 89-82 loss to Nevada on March 11.

SMU has fared much better, winning three of its last five games. The Mustangs' last game was a narrow three-point loss to Cincinnati. That defeat only occurred after a massive second-half comeback effort from the Bearcats.

These two teams are extremely even, per KenPom, with SMU having a better offense and Boise State boasting the superior defense. Let's take a look at how sharp bettors are viewing this game's total.
