Boise State vs UNLV Prediction 

Boise State rolls into this game ranked #17 in the country and they have won four games in a row by at least 21 points, but they will be on the road for this tough battle with UNLV. The Rebels struggled in the second half against Utah State and barely got by Oregon State last week, so I am concerned with how they are going to do against this Boise State team. The Broncos have one of the best running backs in the country and they are top five in points per game. UNLV is a very solid team this year, but I don’t think any Mountain West team is beating Boise. Take the Broncos here.
