They lost their most disruptive defensive player and haven\u2019t found a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>This will be the first time these two teams have squared off outside the WAC since 1977. \u00a0Nevada won last year but haven\u2019t beaten the Broncos on the blue turf since 1997 losing by about 30ppg. \u00a0The odds of them breaking that streak on Saturday seem slim but they should have lots of chances after the Wolf Pack follow Boise to the Mountain West next season.  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;] <\/p>\n<p>Boise State<\/p>\n<p>Boise State had last week off and suffered for it in the polls. \u00a0With all the shifting at the top nobody saw any need to update their opinion on the Broncos but they still have lots of time to make a case to be included in the BCS discussion once again. \u00a0As Nevada was the one team to beat them last year you can bet the Wolf Pack will have the Broncos full attention Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s loss to Nevada was by three points so it is not as if they got outplayed badly. \u00a0Nevada was the only team last season to gain more than 400 yards against Boise &#8211; running and passing for 528 yards in the victory leading to the belief that it was the defense that let the team down (losing the turnover battle didn\u2019t help). \u00a0This year the defense has been very sharp allowing just 19ppg. \u00a0If they can hold Nevada there than a victory should be easy.<\/p>\n<p>Boise State has to get back on the radar and this is the perfect spot: \u00a0at home, familiar opponent, revenge game. \u00a0They seem to have lost some of their explosiveness from last year but they are still beating teams and were impressive in handling Geogia in the opener. \u00a0If this team has the edge we think it does than we should see it on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>ATS Pick: \u00a0Nevada +27<br \/>\nOver\/Under Pick: \u00a0Over<br \/>\nScore Prediction: \u00a0Boise State 45 &#8211; Nevada 28<\/p>\n<p>The CappersPicks.com college football weekly predictions pages!
