The Boise State Broncos (9-4) take on the North Texas Mean Green (7-6) Saturday at 9:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Boise State vs. North Texas odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Boise State was undefeated in Mountain West conference play (8-0) but lost to Fresno State in the Championship game 28-16. This loss against Fresno State culminated a roller coaster season for the Broncos who fired an offensive coordinator and lost a QB to the transfer portal during the season.
However, Boise State still enters this game in better shape than the North Texas Mean Green who — despite making the C-USA title gamE — JAVE parted ways with coach Seth Littrel and will have an interim coach in place for this game before Washington State offensive coordinator Eric Morris takes over the reins of the team next season.
While their location just outside of Dallas can help them in future seasons when they change conferences, the Mean Green will have a tough time in this game as they attempt to keep pace with a better, more talented Boise State team.
