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 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.
