Boise State Football Preview 2023: Boise State Picks for Betting

Boise State finished 7-5 in 2021, their worst record since way back in 1998. 

I felt 9-3, and a title game appearance would be the floor in 2022.  That was achieved.  Boise has been to five of the last six conference title games, but last won the title in 2019.  They’re the favorite to win the title in 2023.

Boise State Football Predictions: AREAS TO WATCH

Taylen Green jump-started the offense once inserted into the lineup.  He’s a dual threat, and combined with a practically intact RB and WR unit, the offense looks good. 

One warning: He must stay healthy!  The defense loses three of their top four tacklers as well as a high percent of their sack total.  Only five starters return, but those who left were not high impact players (a pair of 6^th round draft choices). 

My projections are weaker however, as no transfers were added.  I have the pass defense percentage projected at a solid 55.5%.  Last year’s figure was 51.5%, and an incredible 42+% in conference play.  Boise lost their stellar special team coordinator a year ago.  Last year’s unit took a tumble way down in the overall rankings, but their PK was solid (23-27).

Boise State 2023 Predictions, Boise State Schedule:

Boise opens with a tough game at Washington. 

Slowing down that offense won’t be easy, but Boise State’s skilled position players could surprise the Huskies defense. 

Boise lost a late lead at UCF in 2021.  This game, as well as the next one vs. 7-4 North Dakota offer up more intrigue.  There’s really no rest spot for the Broncos until their mid-October bye week.  Games at SD St are never easy. 

Memphis hosts Boise State the following week and that bowl squad has the scheduling edge.  Both SJ St and (at) Colorado State are games that Boise State can’t let down in.  Boise State has title game revenge on 11/4 when they play at Fresno.  Win that, and it might already be enough to send Boise back to the title game.  If the loss isn’t damaging, then the finale hosting Air Force could be very important

Boise State Football Bottom Line:

Perhaps a shakier start than people think, unless QB Green is just that good. 

A 2-1 mark at SD St, at Fresno and home to Air Force probably has them as the “home team” in the conference title game.  9-3 looks about right.

Boise State Football HANDICAPPING TIP:

As long as Green stays healthy, Boise State Football is always a threat to cover spreads.  If he goes down, I’m likely to go in fade mode until proven otherwise.  I might try 1-2 vs. plays early in the year
