Nevada at Boise State

Boise State had their work cut out for themselves this year. They lost a lot of experience and key skill players on offense, as well as a lot of play makers on defense. But this team never strays to far from the win column. Yes, they were zinged in their opener vs. a Washington, but we now see how tough that team really is. Boise also got caught on the road by a single point vs. an unbeaten Fresno State team. That may be it, as this team has grown week by week, and they proved it last week with a big double-digit win against a quality Utah State team on the road. Despite a decent but not great 4-2 record, the Broncos are outscoring foes 41-24 on average. At home they are 3-0, winning on average 55 to 14. The Broncos now take on a Nevada team that has countless holes on defense, and duplicating the 60 points they hung on Southern Miss is in play for Boise State here. Nevada may be excused to some degree for giving up 58 and 62 points to Florida State and UCLA. But, there is no excuse in giving up 51 to San Diego State and 42 to Air Force. Boise State is now again underrated. This one gets ugly fast, so play on Boise State in a rout.
