MWC Championship Betting Preview: Take Boise ATS & the Over

• The best bet for the Mountain West Championship Game is on Boise State to cover the spread versus UNLV.
• The over on the 58.5-point total is another great bet option for the MWC Championship Game.

BOISE, Idaho – Mountain West Championship game odds are up at all of the best betting sites in the country. The odds for the Boise State vs b game have made the Broncos 4.5-point favorites, with the total set at 58.5 points.

This betting preview outlines why Boise State to cover and the over for that 58.5-point total are the two best bets for the Mountain West Championship game.

Boise State Broncos vs UNLV Rebels Odds

Bet on Boise State to Cover the Spread vs UNLV

Boise State beat UNLV by five points when the two teams played each other back on October 25th this year. Boise State scored 29 points to UNLV’s 24.

That five-point Broncos victory may have influenced the line setters at college football betting sites to make Boise State 4.5-point favorites. The Ashton Jeanty-lead group was only a four-point favorite when they played earlier in the season. At face value, it seems that sportsbooks are slightly adjusting so Boise State is a bigger favorite.

But, betting sites should have adjusted even more due to the home and road splits for both Boise State and UNLV.

Average Margin of Victory by Location:

• Boise State at home: 25.00
• Boise State on the road: 9.83
• UNLV at home: 23.33
• UNLV on the road: 10

Boise State won by five points on the road versus UNLV earlier this season despite the Broncos being the road team.

Per the data, those conditions greatly benefited the UNLV Rebels. Boise State is a considerably better team at home than on the road, and vice versa for UNLV.

Therefore, the best bet for the Mountain West Championship Game is for Boise State to cover the spread and win by as much or by more than they did when they played at UNLV this season.

Bet the Over in the MWC Championship Game

Another great bet that is worth previewing for the Mountain West Championship Game between Boise State and UNLV is the over on the 58.5-point total at legal sports betting sites.

In October, these two teams combined to score only 53 points, but we can expect more in this rematch.

The logic behind the bet is simple. Boise State and UNLV both rank in the top seven in offensive team stats for points per game.

Boise State averages 40.6 points per game (3rd nationally) and UNLV averages 38.7 points per game (7th).

Both teams have good defenses, but they are not elite. UNLV has the 37th-ranked scoring defense, while Boise’s defense is the 52nd-ranked unit by points per game stats.

Those defenses should not be a problem for either of these elite offenses. That will lead to a lot of points, with the over another great option for those looking to bet on Boise State vs UNLV.
