(NCAAF) Beavers (ORS) vs. Broncos (BOISE),
Point Spread: -18.50 | -110.00 Broncos (BOISE) (Home)
Result: Loss
All Everything running back Ashton Jeanty got hurt in the game at Wyoming, and the Boise State Broncos offense evaporated. Then he returned and won the game for them, with the final being 17-13. He is likely to play against the Beavers, and even if he isn’t 100 percent healthy, he can still be a damaging weapon against the Beavers' defense, which is 1127th raked against the run in the NCAAF.
It is concerning that the Broncos could not do anything without him on the field for their offense.
Oregon's offensive line has had a slew of injuries and players being moved around, and it's, at best, a work in progress right now. Oregon scores about 23 PPG, and Boise State scores 41. Boise State allows an average of 24 PPG on the season, while Oregon State allows 31 PPG.
Boise State's defense is not elite, but it's pretty good and has solid linebacker play. The Beavers will have trouble maintaining drives and do not have quick strike ability. That said, Boise State should get a lot of opportunities to get the ball in their hands and score. If Jeantty is healthy and plays, I expect them to roll the Beavers and cover, and the game will go over.
