The Air Force Falcons and Boise State Broncos clash Saturday in a week 8 MWC college football game from Falcon Stadium.

The Boise State Broncos will try to build on back-to-back wins to improve to 4-2 on the year after a 40-20 win over Fresno State last time out. Taylen Green’s thrown for 330 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 picks on 60.7% passing while also rushing for 229 yards and 4 scores this season to lead the Broncos on the ground. George Holani has a team-high 549 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns while Ashton Jeanty has 310 rushing yards and 3 scores as well. Four different Broncos have 100+ receiving yards, led by Latrell Caples who has a team-high 18 grabs for 171 yards this season. On defense, DJ Schramm leads the Broncos with 49 total tackles including 24 solo tackles while George Tarlas has 4 sacks and Ezekiel Noa has 3.5 sacks as well this season.

The Air Force Falcons will be looking to keep the ball rolling after a 42-7 win over UNLV to improve to 5-2 on the year. Haaziq Daniels has thrown for 483 yards, 5 touchdowns and an interception on 46.8% passing while also rushing for 288 yards and 3 scores. Brad Roberts leads Air Force with 853 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns while John Lee Eldridge III has 576 rushing yards as well this season. David Cormier also has a team-high 224 receiving yards as well this season. On defense, Trey Taylor has a team-high 41 total tackles while Alec Mock has 40 total tackles while Camby Goff has a pair of interceptions and TD Blackmon has 3 of Air Force’s 6 sacks as a team this season.

Boise State is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 conference games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 7-1 in their last 8 road games. Air Force is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record.

I get the case to be made either way in this game, but I’m backing the over here. You could make the case either way, but Boise State’s offense has really turned it on since the QB change to Taylen Green and Air Force finally woke up to play after a couple of duds in back-to-back weeks. I think this ends up being a game that gets into the low-50s, so give me the over here.
