The odds are against the Aztecs, who are pointless underdogs at +23.5, reflecting a difficult season for them, while the Broncos, being the superior team, are clear favorites. The over-under for the match is set at 57.5, which suggests some high scores, with Boise State’s powerful offense leading the day with most points.
Danny O’Nei QB vs. Maddux Madsen QB
This season so far, Danny O’Nei of the Aztecs has completed 1240 yards with 62.6% pass completion; however has only scored 6 touchdowns against 2 interceptions. He has had shred success to avoid getting sacks, standing at 13 total sacks which resulted in a loss of the team total of 77 yards. O’Nei must be confident and assertive as he will be up against a very strong Boise defense, which is expected to put him under pressure.
In contrast, Maddux Madsen of the Broncos has managed to attain a passer rating of 146.8, which shows how efficient he has been as a quarterback. Madsen mustered 13 passing touchdowns against 2 interceptions, covering 1482 yards to guide Boise State to an impressive record, therefore, his contribution has been crucial. These skills will be decisive against the Aztecs’ defense, which depends heavily on quick release and decision-making.
There is no doubt that when Danny O’Neil and Maddux Madsen walks on the field this weekend, their play at the position of a quarterback would be poles apart. O’Nei because of an unfriendly cast of players, needs to raise the level of his game and commit fewer errors. On the other hand, Madsen is staring at the Aztecs and hopefully will be extending his deep ball connection to his receivers and would still be in his rhythm while doing so. The two Qbs will not only be instrumental about the pace of the match but also the result, as Madsen seems to be in very good shape with plenty of support.
Ground Game and Aerial Assault: San Diego State
For the Aztecs, Marquez Cooper has been their best player and has 748 yards and 8 touchdowns to his name. His space-breaking ability, which enables him to gain several extra yards after getting tackled, will be critical in adding balance to the Aztecs’ attack. On the other hand, Ja’Shaun Poke hasn’t scored a touchdown but has amassed 270 yards from 34 catches. His contribution as a dependable option is fundamental to stretching the defense and converting third-down plays.
Ground Game and Aerial Assault: Boise State
Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty is a star player who has recorded 1376 rushing yards and scored 18 rushing touchdowns. He shows his strength on the ground at all times. Jeanty’s strong runs and the ability to avoid defenders have been a focal point in terms of boosting Boise’s offense. Along with Jeanty’s rushing, Cameron Camper has also helped out receiving with 477 yards and 4 touchdowns so the Broncos’ offense does not seem one-sided and helps out the whole offense.

San Diego State vs. Boise State Betting Prediction

Nevertheless, the SDSU’s current ATS trend suggests that they are unlikely to concede easily. This should be a one-sided affair, with Boise State winning comfortably but San Diego making the score a bit more respectable than the spread advocates. Perhaps the more logical approach would be to back San Diego State to make the cover, with the total going over the expected mark because of points from both teams.
Top-tier sportsbook online reviews suggest letting San Diego take the points while also taking over the total points and adding a prop bet on Ashton Jeanty to score a touchdown at any time this season due to his scoring form.
Score Prediction: Boise State 45, San Diego State 24.
