Despite a three-game winning streak over archrival Boise State<\/a>, Fresno State is a considerable underdog in next Saturday\u2019s Pac-12 rivalry showdown at Valley Children\u2019s Stadium.<\/p>\n

DraftKings Sportsbook opened the 23rd-ranked Broncos<\/a> (4-1, 1-0) as a 9.5-point favorite over the Bulldogs (4-1, 1-0) on Sunday morning. The line quickly dropped to -7.5 as bettors backed Fresno State in the Milk Can Game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fresno State demolished the Broncos at Albertsons Stadium last November, 30-7. Maddux Madsen left the game in the first quarter with a lower-body injury and the Boise State offense mustered just 193 yards of total offense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs also defeated Boise State in the 2022 Mountain West championship game and earned a 37-30 home victory in 2023. The rivals did not meet in 2024 during the Broncos\u2019 run to the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf every ticket isn\u2019t sold, I\u2019m going to be frustrated; we\u2019ll all be frustrated,\u201d Fresno State head coach Matt Entz said following Saturday\u2019s 26-6 road victory over Washington State<\/a> (1-4, 0-1). \u201cIt\u2019s a huge game. This is what we wanted. Part of the reason why we went to the Pac-12 is we\u2019re going to play meaningful games in mid-October. That\u2019s exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs have the Pac-12\u2019s top scoring defense at 16.4 points allowed per game, ranking No. 27 nationally. Fresno State\u2019s offense has struggled at times and ranks fifth in the Pac-12 at 367.2 yards (No. 93 nationally) and 27.8 points (No. 76) per game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like where we\u2019re at. We\u2019re a gritty group,\u201d Entz said. \u201cI know we want to score 40, 45 points. I would love to, probably wouldn\u2019t make games so stressful. I get it. But at the same time, we\u2019re 4-1 right now and our kids are playing with a lot of confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both teams are dealing with key injuries entering Saturday\u2019s game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fresno State running back Rayshon Luke exited the Washington State game with an apparent head injury and is in concussion protocol. Luke has 42 carries for 286 yards and two total touchdowns this season.<\/p>\n

Boise State starting left guard Carson Rasmussen, wide receiver Cam Bates and No. 2 running back Sire Gaines all sat out Saturday\u2019s 37-18 victory over Utah State (1-4, 0-1) due to injury. Leading receiver Rasean Jones left the game in the fourth quarter following a helmet-to-helmet hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Broncos head coach Spencer Danielson said Jones \u201cseemed fine\u201d<\/a> after the game. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Utah State opened as a 3.5-point home favorite over Washington State for a Friday night game.<\/p>\n

Oregon State (3-2, 1-0) is favored by 14 points in a Saturday matchup with visiting San Diego State<\/a> (2-3, 1-0).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colorado State (2-3, 0-1) and Texas State (2-3, 0-1) both have bye weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
