Why Boise State can cover
The Broncos have positioned themselves to make a strong run at locking of the Group of 5 berth in the College Football Playoff.

The Broncos have won their four other games in blowout fashion, averaging just under 55 points scored per game.
Jeanty has been outstanding for Boise State. The junior from Jacksonville, Fla., is now the betting favorite to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy. Through five games, Jeanty has 95 carries for 1,031 yards and 16 touchdowns. See which team to pick here .
Why Hawaii can cover
Hawaii will head into Saturday's match looking to rebound from its 27-24 loss to San Diego State in Week 6. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Rainbow Warriors in their matchups with the Aztecs as they've now lost five in a row. Hawaii's loss came about despite a quality game from quarterback Brayden Schager , who threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns.
The Warriors are 2-1 against the spread in home games this season. Hawaii has traditionally been an explosive offensive football team, but it's been the team's defense that has stood out this season. The Warriors rank first in the Mountain West in total yards allowed per game (309.4) and points allowed per game (19.0) in 2024. See which team to pick here .
