Boise State is averaging 41 points per-game with a great balanced passing attack which plays into the large point spread for the game. Kellen Moore has thrown for 1,905 yards with 24 touchdowns and just two interceptions on the season, making him a Heisman candidate as he has led the Broncos to their perfect start. The Bulldogs are allowing 372 yards of offense per-game, but have one of the top passing defenses in the WAC, allowing just under 200 yards per-game.
The Broncos are one of the top defenses in the country and tops in the WAC, allowing just 13.6 points and 274.3 yards per-game. Louisiana Tech has been able to move the ball well, but is posting just 27 points per-game. The key to covering the spread for the Bulldogs will be for quarterback Ross Jenkins to keep his offense on the field. Jenkins has completed 59 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns and just four interceptions. With such large odds, the more the Bulldogs can keep the Broncos off the field on offense, the more likely they are to cover.
