UNLV vs Boise State Prediction
Boise State is going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, especially when UNLV hasn’t played anybody yet and there’s major questions with that defense. Ranked 125th in total defense and 111th in scoring defense, UNLV could have a hard time against tougher competition. With that said, Boise State isn’t great defensively, as it has issues stopping the run at times and has allowed 25 or more points in 4 of their 6 games. Also, regardless of what you think of either team, we’re getting free points with an undefeated team, and UNLV has covered 9 of its last 13 games as a double-digit underdog. Give me UNLV.
