Week 9 - Boise State Broncos 24 - UNLV Rebels 27
Inarguably, the Boise State Broncos' biggest challenge comes in Week 9's tilt versus the UNLV Rebels. A rematch of last year's Mountain West Championship Game, the winner of Friday's tilt all but guarantees themselves a berth in this year's title bout. Unfortunately for the Broncos, we expect the Rebels to exact revenge for last year's loss.
A quarterback change halfway through the season did nothing to slow down the Rebels. In the four games since Hajj-Malik Williams took over, UNLV averages 47.8 points per game, recording no fewer than 33 points in any of those contests.
Boise State's offense can match that energy, but they'll face an uphill battle playing at Allegiant Stadium. Rebels pull off the stunning upset, potentially ending Boise State's playoff bid.
