In this article we will formulate an Oregon vs Boise State prediction for this College Football game on Saturday, September 5th at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this Week 1 matchup.
Oregon Ducks Betting Preview
The Oregon Ducks went 13-2 (8-1) last season and they finished third in the Big Ten standings. Oregon started the season with a 59-13 win over Montana State and they followed that up with a 69-3 win over Oklahoma State. The Ducks only loss in the regular season came against Indiana by a score of 30-20, but still couldn’t get into the Big Ten Title game. Oregon defeated James Madison 51-34 and Texas Tech 23-0 in the CFP, but lost to Indiana 56-22 in the Peach Bowl. Oregon scored 36.9 points per game in 2025, while they allowed 17.9 points against per game on defense.
This season, Oregon returns Dante Moore at the quarterback spot and he is easily one of the top QBs in the nation. The Ducks have talent all over the field at every position, but they need to show up in big time games. On defense, Oregon was top 10 in the country last season and they should be even better this year, as they have a ton of returning talent.
Boise State Broncos Betting Preview
The Boise State Broncos were 9-5 (6-2) last year and they finished tied for first in the Mountain West standings with three other teams. Boise State started the season with a 34-7 loss to South Florida, but they bounced back with a 51-14 win over Eastern Washington. The Broncos were 6-2 through eight games, but they lost two in a row, before winning their last two games of the regular season. Boise State defeated UNLV in the Mountain West Championship game by a score of 38-21, but lost to Washington by a score of 38-10 in the LA Bowl. The Broncos scored 29.9 points per game in 2025, while they allowed 24.1 points against per game on defense.
This year, Boise State will have Maddux Madsen back at quarterback, who should be one of the better QBs in the conference. The offensive line should be decent and the running backs are elite, but they have to replace a lot of production from the receivers. On defense, Boise State should continue to play well against similar teams, but they always struggle against the teams from power conferences, as do most Group of Five teams.

Boise State struggled last season against Notre Dame and South Florida on the road, and this will be an even bigger task. Take Oregon to run away in the second half for the cover.
