San Diego State Aztecs vs. Boise State Broncos Key Stats
Out of four games this year, the Aztecs' offense has been good just once, and that came in a game where they were 32.5-point favorites.
Transfer QB Braxton Burmeister has had a rough first few performances. He's averaging an abysmal 3.6 yards per pass attempt, and his completion rate is just 53.1%. Burmeister had a solid season at Virginia Tech last year, so the potential is there, but he hasn't had success yet.
San Diego State's receiving corps isn't that promising either, as no player has more than 68 receiving yards so far.
Meanwhile, Boise State's defense has been great, but they have also faced some subpar offenses. During Week 1, they surrendered 34 points to Oregon, so despite their good overall numbers, they could fall apart from time to time.
The Broncos offense has been pretty inconsistent so far, and they can't afford to have a repeat of last week's performance. QB Hank Bachmeier had an awful game, completing just 13 of 34 attempts. He's been held to under 200 total yards, too, in three of his four games.
On the ground, Boise State is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry. We'll see if they can improve these numbers on Friday.

San Diego State Aztecs vs. Boise State Broncos Betting Prediction
Boise State, despite being 16.5 point favorites last week, were blown out themselves by 17. While the Aztecs haven't looked great, they should be able to build on last week's come-from-behind victory.
Expect the visitors to at least cover as Boise State hasn't covered any games this year. Look for the under to hit as well, as both offenses have been unreliable.
Prediction: San Diego State +6.5 (-110) & Under 39 (-105)
