    Boise State kicked off their season with a bang, picking up a 56-45 win on the road against Georgia Southern. The defense had a rough outing, giving up 461 yards and allowing 29 points in the 2nd half. But the offense was on fire, racking up 651 yards. QB Maddux Madsen threw for 200 yards and a TD while RB Ashton Jeanty went wild with 267 rushing yards and 6 TDs. RB Sire Gaines added 110 rushing yards and a TD.

    The Oregon Ducks had a bit of a scare in Week 1 against the Idaho Vandals, winning 24-14. The defense let up 14 points in the 2nd half after a strong start, but delivered with 2 turnovers and tight 3rd-down coverage. Offensively, Oregon was on fire, racking 487 yards. QB Dillon Gabriel was a standout, throwing for 380 yards and 2 TD. RB Jordan James led the rushing attack with 95 yards and a TD while WR Tez Johnson grabbed 12 passes for 81 yards and 2 TDs.

    Boise State at Oregon picks and predictions

    Prediction

    Oregon 42, Boise State 24

    PASS.

    Obviously, it is never a smart bet to take -910, which is why you should focus on the spread for this game.

    BET BOISE STATE +18.5 (-110).

    Oregon is definitely the stronger team heading into this matchup and will likely play even better than in Week 2. But Boise State showed some serious potential in their opener and has been solid against the spread lately. While the Ducks should manage to secure a win at home, Boise State’s powerful running game is set to keep things competitive. Expect Oregon to win, but Boise State to cover the spread.

    BET OVER 60.5 (-106).

    Boise State has been hitting the Over regularly, doing so in their last 4 games and 7 of their last 10. They dropped 56 points in Week 1 against Georgia Southern, so they clearly know how to find the end zone.

    As for Oregon, their offense might’ve stumbled a bit in Week 1, but that’s likely just shaking off the rust. With a Heisman hopeful running the show, they’re bound to get back on track. In their 3 meetings with Boise, the total has gone Over twice, both times surpassing 60 points. Expect plenty of scoring in this game.
