Boise State Looks to Capitalize on Home Advantage Against Struggling Nevada

Neither team has shown strong performance recently, with Nevada losing six of their last nine games and Boise State dropping three of their last four. Nevada has struggled on the road, with only one win in five away games, which came in overtime against Fresno State. Despite some close losses on the road, their most recent game was a disappointing 21-point loss at Utah State. On the other hand, Boise State has been dominant at home with an 8-1 record, including a victory over Clemson and convincing wins against UNLV and Wyoming. Boise State boasts a better offensive unit compared to Nevada. Until Nevada proves they can win on the road, it is advisable to favor Boise State in this home game.
