Boise State vs San Diego State Game Preview

Why Boise State Will Win

For all intents and purposes, Boise State is out of the Mountain West title hunt with a loss. It needs to win, and Air Force has to lose to UNLV, so …

Boise State is probably not going to play for the Mountain West championship – Air Force almost certainly won’t lose to UNLV.

The Broncos have stepped it up over the last month with a four-game winning streak since losing to Air Force. The offense has been balanced, the defense hasn’t allowed 20 points or more in five of the last six games, and …

San Diego State is shaky.

It’s 10-1, but it’s not build to mount a decent comeback against a good defense. The passing game is more of a surprise when it works than a given. But …

Why San Diego State Will Win

The formula just keeps on working.

The defense is a bear against the run, it’s brilliant at coming up with key stops, and it all ties together with an offense that controls games on its terms.

Run well, get physical on both sides, and take advantage of every opportunity – that’s what San Diego State does.

It looks mediocre, nothing seems to be working, and then its the fourth quarter and it’s up 17-10.

What’s Going To Happen

Will everyone be away for the 9:00 am home start time?

San Diego State will play hard no matter what, but how thing game goes depends on what happens on Thursday when Fresno State and San Jose State play.

If Fresno State loses, then San Diego State wins the West division of the Mountain West and this game doesn’t matter. If Fresno State wins, then the Aztecs have to win this to play for the Mountain West champion.

Either way, Boise State will get it done.

The Broncos have been great against the run – only Air Force and it’s all-ground attack did anything against this D since September – and in yet another low-scoring game for San Diego State, the passing attack won’t be able to make up for the lack of rushing production.

Ole Miss vs Mississippi State Game Preview

Why Ole Miss Will Win

You want to get into a shootout, Mississippi State? Get ready for this.

Yeah, the Bulldogs have been great over the last several games, but where’s the great attack they’ve had to deal with?

Auburn? It’s okay, and it almost got to 500 yards. Arkansas? Yeah, it’s balanced, and it got to almost 400 yards in a win.

Yeah, the Mississippi State defense has been solid throughout the year – especially against the run – but Alabama rolled at will in the win back in mid-October, and now it has to keep up with an attack that should get close to 500 yards.

Ole Miss generates just enough of a pass rush to potentially be a wee bit of an issue, there aren’t any turnover problems, and …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 13

Why Mississippi State Will Win

For all the flash, dash, and pizzazz, Ole Miss isn’t scoring a whole lot.

Oh sure, it’s winning – six of the last seven games since losing to Alabama – but it’s not cranking up the 50-point games like it did early in the year.

It’s a banged up Rebel team that now has to face a Mississippi State offense that’s humming to near-perfection in the passing game.

Will Rogers is the hottest quarterback in college football – yeah, over CJ and Bryce, too. He’s connecting on close to 80% of his throws over the last five games with 20 touchdowns.

The Ole Miss pass defense hasn’t dealt with a slew of high-powered passing games, and it’s still allowing well over 200 yards per game on a regular basis.

What’s Going To Happen

This might be the best football game played anywhere on Thanksgiving Day.

These two teams will go up and down the field, the two quarterbacks will be fantastic, and at home, the control of the Mississippi State offense – it’ll have the ball for close to 40 minutes – will overcome the flash of the Ole Miss attack that will score in bunches.

The Bulldogs will grind it out in the fourth quarter.

Fresno State vs San Jose State Game Preview

Why Fresno State Will Win

The Bulldogs can take the West division with a win here and a San Diego State loss to Boise State on Friday morning.

They got rolled by the Broncos a few weeks ago, but they’ve been doing just fine against everyone else with Jake Haener and the passing game steadily producing since the strange low-scoring win over Wyoming, and now they get a San Jose State defense that’s having issues.

The Spartans can’t get their D off the field, the O is having issues hanging on to the ball, and the team has lost two straight helped by six giveaways.

Fresno State’s defense is among the best in the nation in takeaways.

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 13

Why San Jose State Will Win

Fresno State might be motivated, but San Jose State needs this to go bowling.

It’s really about the turnovers. They’ve been a steady problem all season long with two or more in eight games, but the offense has been plucky, the run defense is good, and Fresno State isn’t above screwing up on its own.

It lost to Boise State after giving it up three times and gave up six turnovers to Hawaii and three to Oregon. The team is 0-3 when going -2 in turnover margin – San Jose State has win that battle because …

What’s Going To Happen

What happened to the San Jose State offense?

It collapsed against Utah State, the passing attack has been wildly inconsistent, and again, the turnovers have been a disaster.

Take a break from the NFL side of things on Thanksgiving – this should be an entertaining battle between two teams needing this win.

Fresno State will be more balanced and sharper.

Western Michigan vs Northern Illinois Game Preview

Why Western Michigan Will Win

Really, how much does Northern Illinois care about this?

It has bigger fish to fry with whatever comes out of the East in the MAC Championship next week, and Western Michigan is looking to score a stronger bowl slot in the MAC pecking order.

The Broncos have been a massive disappointment – they’re the ones who were supposed to be going to Detroit next week – and lost three of their last four games to biff the shot.

However, the offense has been great – it cranked up close to 1,500 yards over the last three games and the defense is fantastic on third downs helped by a great pass rush.

Northern Illinois doesn’t generate a whole lot of pressure, but …

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 13

Why Northern Illinois Will Win

The offense has gone ballistic, averaging well over 500 yards per game over a four game stretch.

The passing attack rolled against Kent State – the one loss since dropping the date against Michigan in mid-September – and the ground attack just rumbled over Buffalo for over 300 yards.

What’s Western Michigan’s issue? It seems to change every week, but it’s been wildly inconsistent overall.

No, Northern Illinois doesn’t need this game, but …

What’s Going To Happen

It’s Senior Night. It’s a chance to make some noise on national TV, and it still needs to keep working considering the run defense has to be a whole lo better and the team has played with fire a bit too often.

The last seven games have been decided by a touchdown or less, and the Huskies have shown the strength to come through in six of them.

But there’s going to be a letdown.

The Western Michigan running attack will take over in the fourth quarter to control the clock better than the Huskies will.

Again, Northern Illinois has bigger things to prepare for.

Buffalo vs Ball State Game Preview

Why Buffalo Will Win

The Bulls desperately need to end their season on a high note.

It’s ben a rough run for the defense, but to pull this off and end 5-7 instead of 4-8, it’s all about controlling the clock. Buffalo has a terrific running game that averages close to 200 yards per game and converts on third down after third down.

They lead the MAC in sacks, they’re great in time of possession, and on the flip side, Ball State doesn’t do nearly enough to get behind the line, it doesn’t control the clock, and the run D is spotty, to be nice.

– College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 13

Why Ball State Will Win

The Buffalo defense has gone bye-bye.

It struggled throughout the season and hasn’t been consistent, but just when it needed to rise up it crashed, allowing over 1,500 yards and 134 points over the last three games.

The Ball State defense hasn’t been any better lately, but the offense has the running game to point on a Bull run defense that should be a whole lot better considering the pressure it generates from the outside.

Yes, UB is great at rushing the passer, but …

– NFL Expert Picks: CFN Week 11

What’s Going To Happen

The Ball State offense is good enough to give all the parts of the passing game time to work.

Both teams are having major problems in what appeared to be promising seasons, but Ball State is still alive for a bowl game. It’s not going to repeat as the MAC champion, but going to a bowl again and avoiding a losing regular season will be the extra juice it needs.

Buffalo’s defense will be a tad worse than Ball State’s
