Boise State Broncos Expected to Dominate Against Nevada Wolf Pack in Rebounding Rematch

The recent matchup between the Wolf Pack and the Rams resulted in a defeat for the Wolf Pack in terms of rebounding. It can be argued that Boise State has superior rebounding skills compared to both Nevada and Colorado State. After a significant victory against MWC-leading New Mexico, the Broncos are favored in this upcoming game. In their previous encounter, Boise State forced Nevada into 15 turnovers and limited their opponent to just six three-pointers. Given their recent performances against the spread, with Boise State going 5-1 ATS in their last five games and Nevada going 4-1 ATS in their last five, the Broncos are predicted to emerge victorious once again.
