00:00And I mean this legitimately, a game that could decide which group of five program earns
00:09one of those five automatic births as a conference champion in the college football playoff.
00:15It is number 17 Boise State and Heisman front runner Ashton Gente.
00:20The Broncos off a bye visiting Las Vegas and UNLV.
00:25Boise State is a three and a half point favorite in Sin City total at 64 and a half.
00:32We've got two of the best scoring offenses in the country, both ranking in the top five.
00:38How many points might we see in Vegas when all is said and done Joe who scores more points
00:43to pick up a monumental Mountain West win tonight on this Friday in Las Vegas?
00:50Yeah, I mean, this is a fascinating game because Gente is going to have a national spotlight
00:57game here tonight, so the whole country is going to see him.
01:00This is going to be a huge effort for him.
01:04And by the way, this game in all likelihood could determine the group of five team that
01:08actually makes the playoffs.
01:11And I believe what Boise's only loss was by just three to number one Oregon.
01:16And boy, oh boy, a win by UNLV would help would help negate that overtime loss to Syracuse,
01:22Ben.
01:23So this is huge.
01:24But I also don't think UNLV's defense at home is just going to roll over and hand Gente
01:30the Heisman trophy here tonight.
01:33I do love this switch at quarterback, obviously for UNLV.
01:37I think there are more dangerous offense than they were.
01:40I think UNLV has the better defense.
01:42But most importantly, Ben, UNLV is heads and tails better on special teams than Boise State.
01:50UNLV's special teams is the best in the country.
01:54And when you're talking about a home dog getting more than a field goal, which is what we have
01:58here and a total at sixty four and a half, I want the team that's going to give me the
02:03edges where it matters.
02:05Field position, field goals, punting, those kinds of things.
02:09Yeah, I'll take your three and a half points with UNLV at home in this one.
02:14I think it's going to be a fun one, but it's one UNLV probably is going to win outright.
02:19Keep an eye on Ricky White for the running rebs.
02:22I believe it's three consecutive games or three of the last four.
02:25He blocked a punt.
02:27It is crazy what UNLV can do under Barry Odom on those special teams, all three phases,
02:33baby. It's coach speak, but it does make a difference for UNLV.
02:38Boise State's second best rushing offense in the country, putting up nearly two hundred
02:42and ninety yards per game.
02:43The go go offense of UNLV has not skipped a beat with Haj Malik Williams as their quarterback.
02:50Sixth best rushing offense in the country, Joe, two of the five best scoring offenses,
02:55two of the ten best total offenses, two of those offenses that average more yards on
03:01the ground than through the air.
03:03Neither bad defending the run, both allowing less than one hundred and six yards per game,
03:09but they will be tested.
03:11Here's also an edge for Boise State.
03:13The Broncos, twenty nine sacks this year, the most in all of FBS college football around
03:19the country.
03:20So we shall see a huge one tonight.
03:22Again, Boise State minus one ninety five to win the Mountain West.
03:27This is a Mountain West conference game.
03:30Boise State won the Mountain West championship a year ago.
03:33The Broncos are ranked 17th in the country.
03:36They are the highest ranked group of five team at this moment.
03:38They have a minus minus one fifteen price to reach the college football playoff.
03:44And UNLV's only loss in non-con action against Syracuse still at six to one.
03:50If the running rebs are undefeated in the Mountain West, including this victory over
03:55Boise State at home tonight, there's a great chance for them to see the CFP, Ashton Gente.
04:01Here's rushing yards prop, one ninety and a half.
04:03The only time, the only two times Joey has failed to go over that number is when he has
04:09skipped the second half of Boise State's blowout wins against Utah State and FCS foe Portland
04:15State.
