2024 Mountain West Football Championship Winner Odds

Mountain West football has become increasingly competitive in recent years, with four different winners in each of the past four seasons.

Heading into the upcoming campaign, the Boise State Broncos are the reigning conference champions. For BSU, they have won four MWC football titles over the last ten seasons.

At FanDuel Sportsbook, the Broncos are the favorite to repeat as Mountain West champions. In 2024, the conference title game is scheduled for Friday, December 6, hosted by the school with the best record in conference play.

With the regular season about to start in about two months, we take a look at FanDuel’s college football conference championship odds and the most promising bets in the Mountain West.

2024 Mountain West Football Championship Game Odds

Boise State (+135)

As mentioned, Boise State has built an excellent football brand since joining the Mountain West in 2011. During that span, the Broncos have compiled a dominant 84-17 record in conference play.

As of 2024, BSU will be in its first full version campaign under Spencer Danielson. Danielson previously served as the Broncos’ defensive coordinator until he took on the role of interim head coach following the firing of Boise State alum Andy Avalos last year. From there, Danielson led a 5-5 team to the conference chip.

There will be a new starting quarterback in Idaho’s capital city going forward. Taylen Green has been transferred to the Arkansas Razorbacks. That comes in second place Malachi Nelson – formerly of the USC Trojans – to take the snaps for the Broncos.

With Nelson at the helm, the offense looks to reach last year’s 32.1 PPG mark. Tail Ashton Jeanty (2023 MWC Offensive POY) returns to Boise State for his junior season. Jeanty was the team’s leading rusher in 2023, gaining 1,347 yards (6.1 YPC). He has found the end zone a total of 19 times, so I imagine he will be the center in 2024.

State of Fresno (+360)

A scrappy program from the heart of California’s Central Valley, the Fresno State Bulldogs are looking for their third conference football title for the past seven years. With head coach Jeff Tedford back for another run, the Bulldogs should be legitimate contenders.

Since Coach Tedford’s return to Fresno, the Bulldogs have gone 12-5 against Mountain West opponents, including a 2022 title game win over the aforementioned Boise State. They are odds of +360 to add their fourth MWC championship.

One of the conference’s top returning quarterbacks, Mikey Keene was impressive in 2023. A year ago, Keene threw the pigskin for 2,976 yards with a 67.1% competition rate. He finished the season with a 52.2 QBR.

According to ESPN’s post-spring SP+ rankings, Fresno State is ranked 57th in FBS. By comparison, the Bulldogs rank second among Mountain West schools — right where they sit in this market.

UNLV (+500)

The UNLV Rebels are coming off their best football campaign of the millennium. With that, head coach Barry Odom has raised expectations for his second season in Sin City.

After two successful quarterbacks on the roster in 2023, a new signal caller will start in Vegas this season. Remarkable, Jayden Maiava – the 2023 MWC Freshman of the Year – has since transferred to USC Doug Brumfield was forced to medically retire.

In all likelihood, Matthew Sluka will take the majority of the rebels’ shots in 2024. Sluka comes to paradise after four years Holy Cross (FCS). Most recently, the dual-threat quarterback was named a Patriot League Offensive POY and an FCS All-American. During his tenure, Sluka generated 97 all-purpose touchdowns for the Crusaders.

Sluka’s first order of business should be building a bond with UNLV’s senior wideout Ricky White III. Last year, White caught 88 passes for 1,483 yards and 8 scores. He offers a harmonious mix of speed, agility and ball skills.

A season ago, the Rebs played their first ever MWC Championship Game. Despite falling short, UNLV now has five-to-one odds to win the conference title on December 6.
