Game of the Week Prediction - Boise State vs Florida State

You could make a case for some other games being worthy to be called the upcoming ‘Game of the Week’. For me though, Boise State/Florida State is the best chance that the Mountain West has to come out swinging in 2019 for the NY6 Bowl bid. If the Broncos beat a blue blood program like Florida State during prime-time on ESPN in Week 1, the hype for a NY6 bowl will start immediately for Boise State. Also, Florida State is coming off a 5-7 season and only favored by less than a score in their first game of the season against a very good Boise State program, so the upset alert should be on high for the Noles.

Let us know which game you think will be the Game of the Week(s) in Week Zero/One.
