Note: I’m splitting my weekly pregame column into two parts this week. Here is my prediction. The main column, on the quarterback situation, will post Friday. The two pieces will run together Saturday in print.
The Boise State football team lost 28-17 on Saturday at Fresno State.
The Broncos are favored by nine points over the Bulldogs this Saturday in the Mountain West championship game at Albertsons Stadium.
That means Las Vegas oddsmakers expect a 20-point change in the outcome. The only significant difference? The game will be played in Boise instead of Fresno.
