Boise/BC Bowl Game

[lay the wood2]

Couple bad breaks last night set me back a few units but all in all had a successful college season. I won't post much during the bowl games but this game jumped out at me today. Boise getting points at home against Boston College.

BC doesn't or hasnt impressed me this year away from Beantown. Couple losses to a weak UNC team and a no show against an over-rated Va Tech team has me leaning towards Boise on the turf in this game.

Looking for the coach to go out on a solid note as well. The streak at home is a must note here, however looking for Boston College to try and control the clock bc they are much bigger on the offensive front line. i see the BC offense trying to establish a run and take some pressure off the quarterback in the away environment. I have to think that Boise State continues to show improvement here and try and hang with the big boys, think the home field advantage and lack of experience on the BC offensive side pushes the smurfs to the victory.

Boise State 1H +.5
Boise State Over 27
Boise State +1.5

All three are one unit plays

Good Luck Gamers
Lets try and have some better luck today

If BC hasn't impressed you...Which BSU win impressed you?

I see one legit team in Fresno and they wiped Boise. This line is one of those lines where people are betting on the home field advantage far too much, IMO.

GL with your play, I just know the players play the game and there is a big talent difference here.

Of course, that is what everyone was saying about last night's ASU/Rutgers game...

Not really, I went to ASU and still follow religiously but although there is a much better talent on offense, their defense is just awful.

Not to mention the line reflected the talent difference. When a team has no defense there is always going to be a probability of being upset. That being said ASU did win and was covering all the way up until 2 minutes left. So probably not the best example.

All things being equal, the teams with greater talent will win most of the time, but not even all of the time due to turnovers. Add motivation and scheduling and home field, among other things...you have gambling.

All I am saying is BC is more talented and more proven this year than Boise State. I think they are should be about a 7 point favorite..I dont think the smurf turf is worth THAT many points. I am sure Boise will be playing hard for Hawkins farwell, but BC is 5-0 in their bowl games under O'Brien and will have them ready to roll.

GL with whatever you play

agree w/marra

agree w/marra

about feeling wrong team was favored at start (w/Boise actually opening as Fav) and thought that BC shoulda been 7-10 pt Fav. Been saving this as my g\fav pick thus far--though admittedly know nothing about Boise St THIS yr cept their smurf turf and their off not up to usual standards that have held from past seasons. Think that 30/31 game home winning streak comes to end tonight with BC big.

only worry that this might be trap game of bowl season--though cant rely on that.---i'll hope that Clemson was that game---as their defense did everything to win that game 'cept score themselves--which i guess we kinda needed as it were.
