South Dakota Coyotes vs Boise St. Broncos Predictions

Matchup and recent form

The South Dakota Coyotes visit the Boise State Broncos on Sept. 19 in the 2026 college football season. Boise State's official recap confirms South Dakota as its next home opponent.

Boise State improved to 1-1 with a 38-20 victory over Memphis on Sept. 12. The Broncos overcame a 17-3 deficit before halftime and allowed no second-half points. They finished with 578 yards, including 357 on the ground.

Dylan Riley contributed 206 rushing yards on 19 attempts. Maddux Madsen passed for 221 yards and one touchdown, adding another touchdown as a runner. Those performances document a productive outing, but one result does not establish an expected margin against South Dakota.

The Coyotes reached 3-0 by beating Eastern Washington 41-23. South Dakota gained 517 yards, including 272 rushing yards on 42 attempts, and possessed the ball for 35:55.

Odds and SportsJaw call

Boise State is listed at -3,000 on the moneyline and -22.5 (-110) against the spread. South Dakota is +1,200 outright and +22.5 (-110). The total is 56.5, with over 56.5 (-110) and under 56.5 (-110).

The prices identify Boise State as the market favorite. However, the two recent wins came against different opponents and provide no direct measure of how these offenses will perform against this week's defenses. South Dakota's possession advantage against Eastern Washington also does not establish that it can control this matchup.

Both teams exceeded 500 yards last week, but those totals alone cannot support an over recommendation or a projected score. With no supported edge on the moneyline, spread or total, the SportsJaw call is Pass. No winner or score prediction is issued.
