• Read below for Oregon State vs Boise State prediction, picks and odds

On Friday, November 29, 2024, college football fans keep an eye on several big matchups. One involves potential playoff-bound Boise State. The Broncos entertain Oregon State from Albertsons Stadium in Boise.

This game brings forth a few questions. For one, which Boise State do we see? Will the Broncos take care of business, or will they let Oregon State hang around? See last week against Wyoming as an example.

The Boise State Broncos need to win with the over/under set at 56.5 points, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The game will be televised on FOX, and the kickoff will be scheduled promptly for noon ET.

Oregon State vs Boise State Prediction

Now, the problem with Boise State is how up and down the Broncos have been the past month or so. They slid past UNLV by five, then blew out San Diego State. After squeezing by Nevada, they looked better against San Jose State.

Unfortunately, the Broncos nearly lost to Wyoming last week. It was quite ugly, as Ashton Jeanty ran the ball 19 times. He normally averages 25 a contest. Maddux Madsen has played well, with 19 touchdowns against only three interceptions.

As previously mentioned, the Heisman debate is one thing. However, Jeanty must keep running. The Boise State offense is so much more engaged when the running back is involved early and often. Oregon State does give up 5.3 yards per carry. Being on the home “Smurf turf” helps add to Jeanty’s impact. The Broncos expect to run him 30 times, which may translate to something close to 200 yards on Friday.

Boise State cannot allow Jeanty only to run 19 times on Friday. By the way, his +550 odds to win the Heisman could be a spot to take a shot on a wager. Jeanty has buoyed the Boise State offense to 41.2 points per game, which is third in the nation.

Boise State Cannot Look Too Far Ahead

Now, Boise State hopefully learned a lesson against Wyoming. The Broncos cannot afford to look too far ahead. It is hard to believe the Broncos managed a mere 17 points against a Cowboys team that yielded nearly 30 points a contest. Oregon State has about the same level of defense. The only difference is this Black Friday game takes place in Boise. Simply, the start is vital.

The Boise State Broncos won their ninth straight game against Wyoming, but it was far from simple.

The big worry with Boise State is that inconsistency. If they come out like most expect, the Broncos could easily win by three or four touchdowns on FOX this Friday afternoon.

I’m risking this, but I’m going for the Boise State cover and win. It may not be by much, but Jeanty and the Broncos ATS are my best bet.

Oregon State-Boise State Pick:

• Boise State -18.5 (-110)

Oregon State vs Boise State Head to Head

The programs have met 10 times in their history, with the last four results going as follows:

• Dec 24, 2013: Oregon State 38, Boise State 23
• Sep 25, 2010: Boise State 37, Oregon State 24

The last meeting was a little over two years ago. Most of the players did not play in the 2022 matchup. Ashton Jeanty should get his carries and yards with a chance to get to 30 touchdowns on the season.

Boise State figures to score a lot more than 17 points here. The Washington State game saw the Beavers allow 38 points at home. This game sets up well for the Broncos to get back into the Top 10 in all polls.
