Boise State currently sits atop the Mountain West Conference standings. They are 1.5 games in front of the two teams tied for second: Wyoming and Colorado State. Boise State relies heavily on their defensive positioning. They rank 8th in the country in points allowed per game with 59.8. They are also NO. 11 in defensive efficiency are NO. 26 in overall rankings according to KenPom and will be too much for the Rebels.

The Broncos have won 19 of their last 21 games, most recently taking down San Diego State Tuesday. UNLV is in good current form, but BSU has won the last 4 in the series and I don’t’ see that changing here. Take Boise State late Saturday night.
