Oregon State vs Boise State Prediction

The current betting odds have Boise State listed as a 20.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Boise State has looked great in their games this season with their 10-1 record overall and their 7-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the MWC and going to the Championship game. They have looked great in their home games all year with their 5-0 home record and they have a Heisman Trophy candidate on their team, running back Ashton Jeanty. Meanwhile, Oregon State hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 5-6 record overall and they have looked worse in their road games this year with their 1-3 road record. They are coming off a nice win over Washington State in their last one which was essentially the Pac-12 Championship, so this is going to be a bit of a let down off that win. Oregon State is going to try to bring their best effort to play spoiler on Boise State's season, but Boise State is going to be fully focused on finishing the season strong. They have rolled over a lot of teams this season, but lately they haven't looked as good playing in tighter games, even coming off a 17-13 win in Wyoming last week. Boise State needs a big win to boost their resume here with the playoff race becoming really competitive for the smaller schools. A lot of things can change in this final week, as seen for a lot of teams last week, so look for Boise State to come out strong and establish why they are still the best group of 5 team in the nation. The best way to place a bet here is on Boise State to cover the spread in this game.

“I’m proud of our guys, and knowing this team and knowing our heart, we’re not done yet. We got a big-time opponent that we have to be ready for in Oregon State and whoever we play in the championship game. We got to go earn the right to play our best. I couldn’t tell you the last time we won back-to-back championships, I know it’s not in my time. We know whoever we play, we’re going to get their best and we have to be ready, but right now, we’re locked and focused on Oregon State.” - Spencer Danielson after his team’s win against Wyoming in their last game.
