Air Force vs. Boise State: Last-Minute Spread, Line, BCS Impact and Predictions
Expect a ton of scoring this weekend as the Air Force Falcons head into Idaho to play the No. 5-ranked Boise State Broncos.
Boise is in the midst of yet another great season led by quarterback Kellen Moore, and if they continue their undefeated season they may have a chance at getting a good bowl game, if not more.
The Falcons are somewhat disappointing at 3-3, but come in scoring just over 35 points per game.

BCS/Top 25 Poll Implications
Just as in the past, the Broncos are being questioned because of their strength of schedule. If they want to be a legitimate national championship contender and worth their No. 5 ranking they need to destroy Air Force.
Key to Air Force Win
Quarterback Tim Jefferson is the big-timer of this offense. Air Force runs a triple-option offense, which means Jefferson is extremely important in making all the reads. He's going to have to run it to perfection against Boise.
Key to Boise State Win
Kellen Moore just has to be himself and prove to the nation why he's not only a Heisman contender but a worthy BCS champion quarterback.
Prediction
It's going to be a high-scoring affair that Boise State will win.
Boise State: 54 Air Force: 28
