I intended to pick Boise State to win this game but decided to take one last look at things. I had been impressed that the Broncos defeated Florida State on the road but now see that FSU isn’t that good. The one win FSU has is an overtime 1-point win over ULM. Looking back at Boise State, they barely beat Marshall at home 14-7. I may be wrong but I’m giving the edge to the Air Force again this week!

AcademyWars.com Prediction

Air Force 38, Boise State 31

Friday’s game kicks off at 7:00 MT. Watch on the ESPN2 Network.

  1. Air Force > Nebraska evidently. The Falcons went North to Boulder and thumped the Buffs which was something my Huskers decided was too hard to do. The only possible explanation for this is that Air Force is super good at football. For them to go on the road and beat a team that beat the Huskers is Cinderella type stuff. They are the chosen ones. This week they are headed to Boise to take on the Broncos at night and nothing says cover for the home team quite like blue turf under the lights……until you realize Boise is 8-17 ATS in their last 25 home games. Air Force wins outright here. They’re amazing.
