Boise State vs. Fresno State Prediction, Odds and Key Players to Watch for College Football Week 6

Breaking down the odds and best bet prediction for college football Week 6 action in the Pac-12 between Boise State and Fresno State.
Boise State vs. Fresno State Prediction, Odds and Key Players to Watch for College Football Week 6

If you want a late-night game to watch and bet on Saturday night, No. 23 Boise State hits the road to take on Fresno State in a battle between two 4-1 Pac-12 teams.

Both teams lost in the opening week against Big Ten squads, with Boise State falling to Oregon and Fresno State losing to USC. Since then, both teams have ripped off four straight wins. The Broncos are coming off a 37-18 win against Utah State, and Fresno State is fresh off a 26-6 victory against Washington State.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this Pac-12 late-night showdown.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

Maddux Madsen has been fantastic for Boise State so far this season. He has completed 65.9% of passes for 1,058 yards, 11 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Not yet turning the ball over is a huge positive for Madsen, giving Boise State the chance to stay in and win every game they play. He has also added 105 rushing yards and a score with his legs. He'll be the best player in the game on Saturday night.

Both of these teams are 4-1, but only one is a legitimately good team. Boise State is 18th in college football in both adjusted EPA per play and net success rate. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are 79th and 74th in those two metrics. The Bulldogs have benefited from a weaker schedule, as their box scores show. They lost 39-0 to the Trojans in Week 1, then beat San Jose State by just 16 points and Rice by only 14 points.

Meanwhile, the Broncos were on the cusp of beating the Ducks in the opening week and have since posted impressive wins, including a 32-7 victory over Western Michigan.

I'm prepared to lay the points on Boise State as long as the spread stays below the magic number of seven.
