Prediction:
Boise State has won 11 straight home games, but aside from an overtime win over BYU back on November 20 it has not exactly been a murderer’s row of competition. The Aztecs are legit and top 10 nationally in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency. The biggest issue for SDSU is a possible letdown after clinching the conference title, but the allure of a perfect regular season record will certainly keep the Aztecs churning on. I’m taking the road favorites here.
