Nevada vs. Boise State Prediction
I like Boise State to score over 41.5 points. The Broncos hit a slump when they “only” scored 28 points at Hawaii and 29 versus UNLV but they’re coming off a 56-point outburst versus San Diego State last week. They also hung 62 on Utah State, 45 on Washington State and 56 on Portland State. They even scored 34 on Oregon in Week 2.
Nevada doesn’t figure to put up much of a fight tonight. The Wolf Pack rank 112th in ESPN’s FPI metric for defensive efficiency. They’ve allowed at least 34 points in four out of their last five games overall. I wouldn’t be shocked if they surrender 50-plus tonight.
Nevada vs. Boise State Prediction: Boise State Broncos over 41.5 (-132)
