Boise State vs Western Michigan Pick

Western Michigan has enough balance to remain competitive, particularly with Lowry protecting the football and contributing on the ground. However, Boise State possesses the stronger rushing attack and should consistently create favorable down-and-distance situations. Riley can wear down Western Michigan’s defensive front, while Madsen has been efficient enough to take advantage of play-action opportunities. Take Boise State to pull away during the second half and cover the road spread, with both offenses pushing the matchup over the total.
