Boise State vs. Hawaii Betting Prediction
Boise State has the best running back in the country on their team. His name is Ashton Jeanty, and he’s already run for 1,031 yards and 16 touchdowns in just 5 games of action this season. Even more impressive, Jeanty sat out the second half of two games because the Broncos were already blowing their opponent out by the end of the first half. He’s averaging over 200 yards and just over 3 touchdowns per game this season. Jeanty could cover the spread by himself in this game.
The Rainbow Warriors are 61st in opponent rushing yards per game (142.3) and 66th in opponent yards per rushing attempt (4.2) this season. Hawaii’s defense is ranked 66th in opponent points per play (0.374) and 61st in opponent yards per play (5.5) this season. They achieved those mediocre numbers against UCLA, Sam Houston, and San Diego State. Boise State’s ground game is an entirely different animal, and Hawaii will likely find that out on Saturday. I’m laying the points with Ashton Jeanty and Boise State in Honolulu on Saturday night.
