The team's overall record stands at 3-8 (5-6 ATS) for the season.

Boise St. Broncos Analysis

The Boise State Broncos are entering their Mountain West opener with strong momentum, following a convincing win over Texas Southern. With a balanced approach, they have managed notable victories against tough opponents in their challenging non-conference schedule. Their offensive and defensive prowess, reflected in their impressive rankings, make them a formidable opponent for Air Force. The Broncos have a power ranking of 43 and are ranked 94th for offense and 70th for defense. Their statistics indicate solid shooting percentages and strong rebounding capabilities. As the conference season progresses, their proficiency at the free-throw line could prove crucial in close games.

Boise State Expected to Dominate Air Force and Cover Spread

Based on the significant disparities in both teams' performances and previous head-to-head matchups, it is likely that Boise State will exceed expectations and cover the spread against Air Force. Air Force's lackluster record of 3-8 against a notably weak schedule (ranked 335th in strength) does not instill confidence in their ability to compete against Boise State, a team ranked in the top 60. Boise State, known for their well-rounded offensive capabilities and advantage of playing on their home court, is anticipated to outmatch Air Force convincingly. Given these factors, it is probable that Boise State will extend their winning streak against Air Force by covering the spread with little difficulty.
