BYU vs. Boise State: Odds, TV info, live stream, prediction
By John Buhler
We have a big Group of 5 battle between BYU football and Boise State football on the blue turf.
BYU football will face Boise State football with huge Group of 5 implications on Friday night.
The No. 9 BYU Cougars (7-0) will take on the No. 21 Boise State Broncos (2-0) in a massive college football game on Friday night in primetime. While Boise State is seen as the best team in the Mountain West, independent BYU has a serious Heisman Trophy contender in quarterback Zach Wilson and just might crash the College Football Playoff party if the Cougars keep on winning.

This game will likely give us the best Group of 5 team out of the West Coast. With a win, BYU stands a decent shot at cracking the top six in the College Football Playoff rankings when those are officially released for the first time in a few weeks. Should Boise State be able to pull off the upset, it will give the Broncos tremendous credibility and may help them win the Group of 5.
Look for this one to hit on the over because why would you not want to see a game as enticing as this hit on the over? As for whether visiting BYU wins and covers, it will come down to one spectacular play from Wilson. His late fourth-quarter touchdown to propel the Cougars to victory will end up being his Heisman Trophy moment. This could be the best year in BYU football since 1984, y’all.
Prediction: BYU 37, Boise State 31.
