Boise State vs Hawaii Prediction

The current betting odds have Boise State listed as a 20.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Boise State has looked really good in their games this season with their 4-1 record overall and their 1-0 conference record. They are coming off their first conference win of the season in their last one and blew Utah State out in that game. Meanwhile, Hawaii hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 2-3 record overall and their 0-1 conference record. They have been better in their home games this year with their 2-1 home record, but they don't have a ton of talent on their team and they are coming off their first conference loss of the season in their last one. Boise State has had a tough schedule so far and they have been rolling over a lot of the teams they have faced, even losing by just 3 points on the road in Oregon in their 1 loss. They also have the best running back in the nation and he has been tearing up defenses left and right. Hawaii won't be able to stop Jeanty in this game and they don't have a great offense to put up a ton of points either. Boise State will continue to pull away in this game until there is no way back in it for Hawaii. The best way to place a bet here is on Boise State to cover the spread in this game. 

Boise State Hawaii Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, October 12, 2024 (11:00 pm ET start time) is Boise State 56 Hawaii 13.

Notable Quotes


“There are no egos in our offense or on our team. It’s, ‘What does the team need?’ That’s what we’ve got, especially when it’s led by a guy like Ashton Jeanty. He was waiting for me on Tuesday before practice to find out if he could get on special teams.” - Spencer Danielson after his team’s win against USU in their last game. 


“He’s one of the toughest quarterbacks I’ve been around. People come at him. Sometimes I’m amazed he’s able to go the next week. But he does. It’s his mental toughness.” - Timmy Chang on Brayden Schager this season.
