The Broncos won the Oct. 12 matchup 59-37, but they are 3-5 against the spread as a double-digit favorite this season. The Warriors closed the regular season on a four-game win streak and will hang around a little longer this time.

Boise State wins 42-31 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.

We also talk some coaching news.

Jeremy and Matt are back to talk a whole lot of Mountain West football despite there being just one game. They first discuss is about the Colorado State job that opened up and what makes it an attractive job and if the Rams can turn into a G5 heavyweight. They look over the all-league awards and compare the media list and our picks as well to see what stands out.

As for the game itself, the duo goes over why each team will win and if Hawaii has to be perfect to win the second time around vs. Boise State and the answer is might be a yes. A few keys we discuss are the running game for each squad and will there be an under-the-radar player who comes up big.

They wrap with looking at the race for the New Year’s Six bowl game between Boise State and Cincy, assuming both win.

Still a big time favorite.

The Mountain West title game is a rematch between Boise State and Hawaii and the odds are shuffling for this matchup as both sides are angling for the best odds on the line. The game opened up as a heavy 15-point line in favor of the Broncos. 

Well, after a few days of wagering the odds are changing which should be no surprise as no line will remain the same all week.

SportsBettingDime.com reports odds for the MW title are now at 13.5 in favor of Boise State. When the Broncos hosted Hawai’i earlier this year, they cruised to a 59-37 win as 13.5-point chalk. Some may think Boise should be favored by more given the previous result, but the reality is that Hawaii shot itself in the foot with four turnovers (three in the first half) in the earlier matchup. If they don’t windup -3 in turnover differential, they have the talent to give the Broncos a game.

Also, in that first game, it ended up being closer than expected as Hawaii was able to put together a pair of touchdowns and two-point conversions for 16 points to make the final score look somewhat close. In reality, the game was close partly because of Boise State rotating in backups.

The line should be around two touchdowns by Saturday morning and that sounds about right. Even if Boise State goes back to the well and puts Jaylan Henderson in at quarterback there is no reason for concern as he will have seen Hawaii for a second time. Seeing a team twice could be huge for Henderson and the Warriors.

Would the odd be bigger if it were Chase Cord, probably not, but if it were known that Hank Bachmeier would be under center then the line would balloon to at least 17 points in favor of the Broncos.

2019 Mountain West Football Title Game: Boise State Heavy Favorite Over Hawaii

The Broncos are more than a two touchdown favorite over the Warriors.

Boise State a two-touchdown favorite?

The 2019 Mountain West title game is this week and it is a rematch between Boise State and Hawaii. This will mark the second time these two have played this year and the first matchup saw the Broncos easily top the Warriors, 59-37.

That final score was not as close as the final score indicated as Hawaii scored 16 points in the fourth quarter when Boise State started to play backups, including third-string quarterback Jaylen Henderson.

With that first matchup in the books and how these two teams have played since then, it comes as no shock that Boise State is a big favorite to win its second title in three years. The shock is that the Broncos are a 15-point favorite and also the over/under is surprisingly low at 63.5.

The large line is due to the 21-point win Boise State had over Hawaii, the Broncos have just one loss since then, and the Warriors have suffered two defeats which include an odd loss to Fresno State.

The Hawaii offense has the potential to keep up with Boise State when it is clicking on all cylinders but when the Warriors have faced good defenses like Boise State and San Diego State, Hawaii has not played all that well. Also, to consider is that the Warriors are splitting quarterbacks with Cole McDonald and Chevan Cordeiro, but a counter is that Boise State is playing its third-string quarterback.

There is no doubt that Boise State should be the favorite but 15 points seem a little bit high. We will see how that line changes leading up to Saturday’s kick.

Rematch between Warriors and Broncos

Even though there is still one week left in the regular season, the Mountain West already has its football championship game solidified. Boise State won the Mountain Division as they boat-raced Utah State, 56-21 and the game did was not even that close.

Boise State will take on Hawaii which squeaked past San Diego State, 14-11, to win the Western Division for the first time since joining the Mountain West eight years ago.

The Warriors won the low-scoring game by the Aztecs missing a game-tying field from 42 yards out.

The hosting duties go to Boise State because they will be the higher-ranked team in the College Football Playoff rankings.

This will be the second meeting this year between the two schools. They faced off in Boise back on Oct. 12 with the Broncos easily winning, 59-37.
