The Air Force Falcons play host to the Boise State Broncos in college football action Saturday. The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start time and it will be televised live on the CBS Sports Network. Currently the odds for the game have Boise State favored by a decent margin on the road in this one.
Both teams enter tonight's game with a single loss on the season. Air Force ranks fifth best in the country at 335 yards on the ground per game this season. They've been able to average 35 points per game as well, but haven't really played a team of any substance yet. The Falcons own victories over both Nicholls State and Georgia State this season, but did lost at Wyoming as well.
Boise State should get some credit for scheduling tough. They played Ole Miss down in the Georgia Dome to start the season and got drilled, committing turnovers and not looking good on either side of the football. They found a way to recover, however, by winning three straight games and looking pretty solid as well. Boise plays on the road in this one and also hits the road next week as well when they head to Reno to take on Nevada. Can't get caught looking ahead to next week's matchup, which should feature unbeaten teams in the Mountain West.
This is Boise's first trip to Air Force and just the third meeting all-time between these schools. Boise is going to want to establish the run, but really work on throwing the football in this one. Air Force allows 348 yards through the air per game to opponents.
Boise quarterback Grant Hedrick has five touchdowns and five picks this season, but he should be able to put up some solid numbers in this one.
The Broncos have the better team and if they can run plays effectively on offense when they have the ball, they will win. But Air Force has the ability to keep opposing offenses off the field with that vaunted rushing attack.
Free Pick: Boise State 34, Air Force 24
