Boise State vs. San Jose State Prediction:
Take the over 61.5 points in this matchup. Boise State has the 2nd best scoring offense in the country averaging 42.3 points per game. San Jose State allows 24 points per game. They are ranked 87th in pass yards allowed per game allowing 243. Maddux Madsen struggled for Boise State in their last game and will look to bounce back strong here. Defenses have been crashing on Jeanty so expect Madsen to find some open receivers. I also really like this Spartans offense. The offensive line allows less than 1 sack per game. Emmett Brown was sacked 6 times in the first 4 games but Walker Eget has only been sacked twice since taking over. They will be in for a battle against a Boise State pass rush that is averaging 4.4 sacks per game but I like their chances. Outside of the pass rush Boise State has struggled on the defensive side of the ball allowing 26.5 points per game which is 72nd in the country. They’ve allowed 21 or more points in the last 3 games and are allowing 28 points per game on the road. The Spartans love to throw and will be going against the 113th ranked defense in pass yards allowed per game.
Boise State vs. San Jose State Prediction: Over 61.5
