Boise State vs. UTEP live stream online, channel, odds, prediction, how to watch on CBS Sports Network
Week 4 of the college football season brings another batch of action for CBS Sports Network. Beginning Friday night and running through Saturday, this week’s lineup includes five games from around the country, which should give us a better understanding of where things stand in Conference USA, the MAC and the Mountain West.
First up will be a showdown between Boise State and UTEP on Friday night, followed by a MAC contest between Buffalo and Eastern Michigan in the early Saturday window. In the afternoon, Western Kentucky welcomes the FIU, which is looking to improve to 3-1 this season. Then, Mountain West foes Utah State and UNLV will tangle in the evening window before Western Michigan and San Jose State end things with a nighttime battle.
The first few weeks of the season provided us with numerous reminders of just how unpredictable college football can be. As conference play picks up steam, the intensity should only increase, bringing more exciting endings along with some unexpected outcomes.
Here’s the full rundown of all the Week 4 action on CBS Sports Network. All times Easter.
State of Boise vs. UTEP

Spread: State of Boise -15.5 | Will the Broncos cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 4 predictions
Storylines: Boise State appears to have successfully overturned a miserable season-opener loss in Oregon State with victories over New Mexico and Tennessee-Martin in the past two weeks. However, the Broncos still aren’t buzzing offensively and couldn’t break away from the Skyhawks through the fourth quarter last week. After a six-year bowl drought last season, UTEP has struggled to a 1-3 mark as the 2022 season begins. The Miners beat New Mexico last week but lost 27-10 due to seven turnovers.
Buffalo vs. Eastern Michigan
Date: Saturday 24 Sept | Time: 12 o’clock
Location: Rynearson Stadium – Ypsilanti, Michigan
TV: CBS sports network [Channel finder]
Live broadcast: CBSSports.com | Cell phone, mobile phone: CBS Sports App
Spread: Eastern Michigan -6 | Will the Eagles cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 4 predictions
Storylines: It’s been a frustrating start to the season for Buffalo, who fell to 3-0 after a 38-26 loss in Coastal Carolina last week. The Bulls were in play through the end of the fourth quarter, but defensive problems surfaced again as the Chanticleers averaged 9.5 yards per game. Eastern Michigan is aiming for a fourth bowl eligibility in the last five seasons under coach Chris Creighton after a huge 30-21 win at Arizona State last week.
FIU vs Western Kentucky
Date: Saturday 24 Sept | Time: 3:30 p.m
Location: LT Smith Stadium—Bowling Green, Kentucky
TV: CBS sports network [Channel finder]
Live broadcast: CBSSports.com | Cell phone, mobile phone: CBS Sports App
Spread: Western Kentucky -31 | Will the Hilltoppers cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 4 predictions
Storylines: Western Kentucky appears to be recovering from a heartbreaking 33-30 overtime loss in Indiana as it hosts an FIU team coming off a bye. The Panthers are 1-1 under first-year coach Mike MacIntyre but are still seeking their first win against an FBS opponent. Western Kentucky must avoid facing a big game next week with Sun Belt opponent Troy. Quarterback Austin Reed, a transfer from Division II West Florida, has been solid with nine touchdown passes in his first three FBS-level games for the Hilltoppers.
UNLV vs. Utah State
Date: Saturday 24 Sept | Time: 19 o’clock
Location: Maverik Stadium – Logan, Utah
TV: CBS sports network [Channel finder]

Spread: UNLV -2.5 | Will the rebels cover? Check out the Week 4 projections from SportsLine
Storylines: UNLV blew up for 576 yards and improved to 2-1 in a 58-27 win over North Texas last week. Aidan Robbins rushed for 227 yards and three touchdowns for UNLV, while quarterback Doug Brumfield rushed for 211 yards through the air and another 100 on the ground with added four total touchdowns. Utah State is coming off a bye and looking to taste a 35-7 loss to FCS Weber State. The Aggies are the reigning Mountain West champions but with a 1-2 start. UNLV will be looking to pull off a six-game losing streak against their MWC nemesis.
Western Michigan vs. San Jose State
Date: Saturday 24 Sept | Time: 10:30 p.m
Location: CEFCU Stadium – San Jose, California
TV: CBS sports network [Channel finder]
Live broadcast: CBSSports.com | Cell phone, mobile phone: CBS Sports App
Spread: State of San Jose -7 | Will the Spartans cover? Check out the Week 4 projections from SportsLine
Storylines: Western Michigan fell to 2-1 in a 34-13 loss to Pittsburgh last week as the Broncos mustered just 180 yards overall. The Spartans were eliminated in Week 2 last week after a hard-fought 16-24 loss in Auburn. The Spartans were particularly stingy in two games in 2022 while trying to regain the momentum gained during a 7-1 season in 2020. With league games ahead for both teams, this game will be critical to both teams’ hopes of gaining bowl eligibility.
