Boise State vs Oregon Pick

Boise State is talented enough to compete early, but Oregon has more depth and playmakers on both sides of the ball. The Ducks will wear Boise State down throughout the game as they do the work on both sides of the field. Look for Oregon to take control during the middle quarters to start their season with a convincing home win.
