UNLV vs. Boise State prediction, pick:

In what has been a quieter year for the Mountain West, the championship game delivered two usual suspects in Boise State and UNLV. Boise State is Boise State. Run the ball well, hit on the timely passes, and play smart football. UNLV wants to turn things into an explosive affair and outscore you.

The Rebels give up 5.3 yards per carry on the ground, and taking that on the road against Boise State, which is glad to hand the ball off, as a team that has run it much more than they've thrown it this year.

Boise State running backs Dyland Riley and Sire Gaines have combined for more than 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns on the season, each averaging over five yards per carry. That's the game Boise State wants to play.

UNLV's offense, which throws for 259 yards per game and runs for 205, will have a tough time against the Broncos' secondary, which is holding teams to 167 yards passing and a 54.7% completion rate.

Even in a down year, the Mountain West is the Boise State Broncos' conference to lose until proven otherwise.

Prediction: Boise State 31, UNLV 24
