Special Season for Boise State

It has been a special season for Boise State. But if they were to lose this game and miss out on the college football playoffs, that would be quite a disappointment. Boise State on the season only has one loss and that came against Oregon in the second game of the season. Boise State in the last game faced off against Oregon State, and they scored 34 points on the way to the victory. Ashton Jeanty again had another huge game finishing with 37 carries for 226 yards and a touchdown. If it wasn’t for Travis Hunter with the Colorado Buffaloes, Boise State would probably have a Heisman Trophy winner. Maddux Madsen also had a strong game putting up 195 yards and two touchdowns. When they faced off against UNLV earlier this season, it was a big second quarter where they scored 17 points in the 4th quarter to secure the win. 

Boise State on the season is averaging 40.58 points while their defense is giving up 23.2 points. Boise State’s offense is ranked 3rd in the league while the defense is ranked 51st. Getting out to a fast start is going to be very important here. 

Can UNLV Win When It Matters?

Remember earlier this season when UNLV lost their starting quarterback four weeks into the season and all hope seemed to be lost? Not only was all hope not lost, they could be a win away from a college football playoff berth. UNLV last faced off against Nevada and it was a dominant victory. UNLV scored 38 points and that was enough for the blowout victory. Hajj Malik Williams completed 14 of his 21 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Jai’Den Thomas finished with 15 carries or 135 yards and a touchdown. 

UNLV is averaging 38.8 points on the season, while its defense is giving up 22 points per game. The offense is ranked 7th in the league, while the defense is ranked 37th. In this game, they need to find a way to slow down Jeanty to have a chance.

UNLV vs Boise State Prediction

Give me UNLV here. Yes Boise State has the better running back, but I believe UNLV actually has an advantage at quarterback. I just Hajj Malik Williams to have a good game and I believe the ceiling for this team is actually higher with him under center. Boise State has all the pressure on them in this game, and that will also work in UNLV’s favor here. You aren’t going to need any points here. UNLV is coming out on top. Back on the money line.
