Boise State at South Florida

Boise State will kick this season off with a long road trip to South Florida. The Broncos lost their only regular-season game on the road in 2024, and they also failed to cover at Georgia Southern in their opener as 13-point chalk, as well as in a 29-24 game at UNLV and a 17-13 win at Wyoming as a 22-point favorite. One weak spot is a pass defense that ranked 107th in yards allowed (241 per game). South Florida made huge strides in the last two seasons under coach Alex Golesh, with winning records. A lot of talent and experience returns, led by dual-threat QB Byrum Brown (836 passing yards). South Florida's offense was 34th nationally in scoring (30.8 ppg). South Florida is on a 14-10 ATS run, including 8-5 ATS as an underdog. Play South Florida.
