Draftkings NCAA DFS Picks: Boise State vs. Nevada 10/24/25

On Friday night, the NCAA presents Draftkings football fans with an NCAA regular season matchup featuring the Boise State Broncos and the Nevada Wolf Pack. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Boise State Broncos vs. Nevada Wolf Pack game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for tonight’s. Boise State vs. Nevada matchup.

Draftkings NCAA Football DFS Picks

Captain-Maddux Madsen, Quarterback, Boise State Broncos $11,800

Junior quarterback Maddux Madsen has been the driving force behind the Boise State Broncos success on the offensive side of the football in 2025. Having stated that, how has Madsen performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Madsen’s relevant key player game data from the 2025 NCAA season to answer that question.

In the seven games that quarterback Maddux Madsen has played for the Boise State Broncos in the 2025 NCAA regular season, Madsen has amassed a rather impressive 1,823 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, 61 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the seven games that quarterback Maddux Madsen played for the Broncos in 2025, Madsen has averaged 21.4 Draftkings points a game.

More recently, in the Boise State Broncos 56-31 victory over the UNLV Rebels last week, Boise State quarterback Maddux Madsen certainly played at a high level. Let me be more specific. In the Broncos defeat of UNLV, Madsen tallied 253 passing yards, four passing touchdowns and 23 rushing yards.

What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Maddux Madsen has played exceptionally well to this point of the 2025 NCAA regular season. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in tonight’s matchup with the Nevada Wolf Pack.

In my view, Maddux Madsen is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NCAA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Boise State Broncos quarterback Maddux Madsen at the captain position for this one game NCAA Football DFS slate.
