Air Force vs Boise State Prediction Breakdown
Air Force was having a great season and people were starting to talk about them going undefeated, but they have lost three games in a row and are dealing with a ton of injuries in this game. This game is massive in the Mountain West race, as Air Force, Boise State, and San Jose State are all tied for second with two losses. Boise State is only 6-5 on the season, but they have won three of their last four games and will be at home. Air Force is missing some of their best offensive players and I don’t see how they are going to stay in this game. I think Boise State is going to jump on them early and pull away for the double-digit win. Take the Broncos here.
