The UNLV Rebels have really struggled this season as they come into this game with an 0-5 record, and they will have to regroup against one of the top teams in the conference. The Broncos are coming off a cancelation due to COVID, but they should be ready to explode on the offensive side of the ball as they have scored a combined 92 points through their last 2 games. The Broncos have some stability at QB with the return of Hank Bachmeier as he has thrown 5 TDs to 1 interception, and he has a dangerous group of WRs with CT Thomas and Khalil Shakir. The Rebels have had a revolving door at the QB position this season as 3 different guys have taken snaps, and this will be a difficult game for them to overcome that. Final Score Prediction, Boise State Broncos win and cover ATS 52-20.
