Odds to Win the 2016 Mountain West Football Championship – Mountain West Football Predictions & Expert Picks
Mountain West “Mountain Division” Prediction
1. Boise State Broncos(+155 odds to win Mountain West) – The Boise State Broncos look to reclaim the Mountain West Championship this season after failing to do so last season as they went 9-4 overall and 5-3 in Mountain West play. The Broncos return 12 starters from last year’s squad including 8 on offense from a unit that finished 1st overall in total offense in the Mountain West and 15th nationally. The Broncos averaged 39.1 ppg last season and should match that or surpass it this season thanks to the return of sophomore quarterback Brett Rypien. Rypien threw for 3,353 yards and 20 touchdowns in a superb freshman campaign and should only be better this season with more experience and the return of senior wideout Thomas Sperdeck who caught 88 balls for 1412 yards and 8 touchdowns last season. Junior running back Jermey McNichols returns after rushing for 1337 yards and 20 touchdowns last season to give Boise State one of the most balanced attacks in the nation. Defensively, Boise State was 12th in total defense last season and might drop off a little bit with only 4 returning starters but should still be a national Top 30 defense. An undefeated season is not out of reach if the defense is better than expected. 2016 Projection 12-1, 7-1 Mountain West

6. Wyoming Cowboys(2015 Projection 2-10, 0-8 MW)
Mountain West “West Division” Prediction
1. San Diego State Aztecs(+280 odds to win Mountain West) – Head coach Rocky Long enters his 6th season as head coach of the San Diego Aztecs and is one of the most underrated coaches in all of college football. Long is coming off of a superb 2015 season in which he coached the Aztecs to a 10-3 record(7-1 in MW) in which the Aztecs captured the Mountain West Championship and crushed Cincinnati 42-7 in the Hawaii Bowl. The Aztecs return 13 starters from last year’s team with 6 on offense and 7 on defense. The Aztecs offense was not that good last year as it ranked just 85th nationally in total offense but the defense was absolutely lights out. The defense finished 5th nationally in total defense and has a chance to be just as good this season thanks to 7 starters returning including 3 starters in a secondary that finished 10th nationally against the pass. The Aztecs will have to break in a new starter at quarterback in sophomore Christian Chapman and the offense should once again be medicore at best but the defense will be simply sensational and more than enough to carry the Aztecs to another West Division title. 2016 Projection 10-3, 7-1 Mountain West

2016 Mountain West Football Championship Game
Boise State Broncos vs San Diego State Aztecs – These are clearly the best two teams in the Mountain West Foootball Conference but they don’t play in the regular season and didn’t last year either. This is the classic matchup of explosive offense versus dominant defense. However, Boise State gets the edge because they are a more complete team on both sides of the ball and we simply don’t trust San Diego State’s offense to be able to move the ball enough to pull this game out.
