Prediction: Idaho 12 — Boise State 10

Boise State enters the matchup riding a six-game losing streak, while the Vandals are looking to rebound on their home turf in the team’s season finale. While the Broncos boast a deeper roster, the heated rivalry and last season’s 20-11 loss may provide Idaho an extra boost of motivation. Fans should expect a strong performance from senior captain A.J. Gravel in his final game donning the silver and gold.

Prediction: Idaho 13 — Boise State 9

An intense rivalry between the two programs should bring out the best of the Idaho men’s lacrosse team in the season finale for the program. Senior A.J. Gravel and freshman Grant Hill will provide the bulk of the Vandal attack that will help the team earn its third win of the season. Boise State began the season on a hot streak, but the program has hit a slump during the final stretch. Idaho has survived with a thin roster and overcome multiple obstacles this year, which could motivate the team in the matchup.

Prediction: Idaho 13 — Boise State 9

Although I have not seen the team play this season, I know all bets are off in a huge rivalry meeting such as this. The clashing orange and blue color scheme of the Boise State uniforms is an eyesore for the crowd, who will be cheering on the Vandals on the team’s own home field. Chalk this game up as an Idaho win Saturday.

Idaho will be looking to close out the season with a significant win and bragging rights against Boise State. The game should possess an exciting atmosphere with great performances from the seniors as they close out their time with the program.
