Why Boise State can cover
The Broncos are 5-1-1 ATS this season, and three of their wins have been by more than 22 points. The offense leads the Mountain West with 478.6 average yards per game and is holding opposing quarterbacks to 189.7 passing yards. Starting quarterback Maddux Madsen is coming off of a four-touchdown day against the Rebels where he also threw for 253 yards, and he should comfortably move the ball down field against a mediocre Nevada passing defense. Boise State’s defense is allowing 351.3 total yards and 26.1 points per game but is expected to contain a weak Wolf Pack offense. See which team to back at SportsLine.
Why Nevada can cover
The Wolf Pack might be struggling overall, but they are still 3-4-0 ATS this season and have covered the spread in two of their last three games. That includes covering in a 24-22 loss to New Mexico as 13.5-point underdogs in Week 8. Nevada also covered as a 42.5-point underdog against Penn State in Week 1. Over three home games this season, the Wolf Pack has held two opponents to under 20 points. See which team to back at SportsLine.
