Boise St. Broncos

Boise State has a 3-3 record overall and a 2-0 record in the Mountain West conference. In the 35-27 win against San Jose State, Maddux Madsen went 9/16 for 155 yards and two touchdowns, while Taylen Green finished the game going 4/8 for 75 yards and two rushing touchdowns. The yardage was largely split between rushing and passing, with Ashton Jeanty leading the backfield with 24 carries for 167 yards. The defense struggled in the first half, but came back strong in the second half to seal the win. Boise State enters their upcoming game against Colorado State as touchdown favorites, but must clean up their pass completion rate and defense to cover their spread. Overall, the Broncos are ranked 52 in power ranking, #70 in offense (averaging 28.60 points per game) and #109 in defense (allowing an average of 31.60 points per game). Boise State is off to a 3-3 start overall, with a 2-0 record in the Mountain West conference. Despite being tested with two tough non-conference games, they secured an even record on the season to this point with two strong conference wins. The most recent of those wins was a 35-27 home victory against San Jose State, in which the starting quarterback Maddux Madsen went 9/16 with 155 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, while Taylen Green finished the game going 4/8 for 75 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Ashton Jeanty led the backfield with 24 carries for 167 yards, averaging seven yards per carry. The defense struggled in the first half but was able to right the ship and preserve the win. With a power ranking of 52, the Broncos are ranked #70 in offense (scoring an average of 28.60 per game) and #109 in defense (allowing an average of 31.60 points to be scored against them per game) for the season. Boise State is the touchdown favorite in their upcoming game against Colorado State and must clean up their pass completion rate and defense if they wish to cover their spread.

Colorado State Rams Analysis

The Colorado State Rams have had a rocky start to their season, with a 2-3 overall record and a 0-1 record in the Mountain West conference. They have dropped some tough games against good opponents such as Washington State, Utah State, and #18 Colorado, but also earned a few wins against opponents such as MTSU and Utah Tech. In their most recent 44-24 loss on the road against Utah State, their quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi had a shaky performance throwing three interceptions. Both of their touchdowns came from the ground and defense, with running backs Kobe Johnson and Vann Schield scoring one each. Despite entering the upcoming game against Boise State at home as seven-point underdogs, Colorado State does have a few key advantages. Firstly, their air raid offense, which is ranked #48, should take advantage of the Broncos' weak passing defense which is allowing opponents to average nearly 300 yards through the air. Secondly, their defense, ranked #117, needs to take away the run and force Boise State to throw the ball in order to have a chance of covering the spread and possibly winning the game. With this in mind, Colorado State enters the game with hope despite being the home underdogs. Overall Power Ranking: #96 Offense: #48 (32.75 points per game) Defense: #117 (34.00 points per game) Overall Record: 2-3 (2-2 ATS) Recent Record Against Boise State: 0-3 (0-3 ATS)

Colorado State Likely to Cover Spread at Home: Boise State An Easy Target for Rams' High-Powered Pass Attack

The Rams are a good pick to cover the spread at home. It could be wise to buy an additional half point for insurance, with some books offering a line of 7.5. The Rams' pass-oriented offense averages almost 50 attempts per game, giving them an advantage to recover if they fall behind. Boise State allows nearly 300 yards in the air each game, making it likely Colorado State will take advantage. Last week, San Jose State scored 27 points in the first half against Boise State, whose offense isn't as talented as the Rams'. It's probable Colorado State will lead in the first half and do their best to hold onto the lead in the second.
