Hi everyone,

Been in a funk lately and looking at results I've been playing way too many faves lately - can't beleive all the faves i play that win but do not cover - anyways let it first be known I'm a HUGE Boise State fan - my favorite team (other than the hometown Badgers) - been extremely successful playing for or against this team over the last 8 or so years.

So why take La Tech & the under? Well I have seen this line go from 21 to 24...just feel I'm getting value in the La Tech and under line. Boise does have a very strong defense - better so far than I've seen in a while. However La Tech comes in 2-1 - beating Miss St. (who just put up 24 on LSU) - and "just" lost 29-0 at Kentucky - another tough place to play...La Tech has been getting whooped by Boise over the years - and at some point think we see a closer ball game...anyways total up to 57...way i see it this game goes one of these ways:

1) Boise crushes them - 55-7 or something - and i'd lose both plays

2) Boise puts up a respectable 38 - and gives up 17 - to make it a La Tech and under type of game

3) Boise plays a similar game to one against Bowling Green - this is a game i can't get out of my head - if you recall Boise was -17 - and they were up 20-0 on the smurf turf at half...final score was 20-7 - yes Boise was shut out 2nd half! One reason - they ran clock - and did have at least one major turnover...so we can't handicap turnovers - but that might factor in tonight...

Anyways just think the total & side are too high - going under & w/ the dog - gl to all...

THE PLAYS

La Tech +24
Under 57
Both plays risking $2,200 to win $2,000

GL!

I have to vent - La Tech about to score - then a stupid holding call - why they ever go for 52 yd FG's in college i have no idea - they never make them - 2 plays later Boise trickery TD - i just can't get it right lately - at this rate it will be 59-0 Boise...might have to take a break

No worries man....hang in there. That RB for Tech will get that TD for us later on. Tech has been moving the ball decently. We'll see what the score is at half...could tell us a lot for the outcome. They need to get something on the board for some confidence.

Going to be tough if they keep giving it to Boise at midfield...i'm always optimitic and know a game takes 60 total minutes - but man everyone knew they weren't getting that 4th and 2 - you give Boise an opening they will route you...

 

[HUDSON]

Ok....Tech might not even score tonight. These 3rd and super longs are killing them. I'm sorry, but Boise's defense is NOT this good! We just gotta let this one play itself out....If Tech covers it will be an ugly cover late in the game. Hopefully!!!

I actually liked the call to go for it, but to run up the gut I didn't agree with. I think we might need a miracle here.

Like you said there - hang in there - but wow another big roll - don't like LaTech starting from the 2 yard line...it's just too bad they were moving the ball well and everything it's just you can't give Boise that kind of field position...come on La Tech - at least get a first down and try to change field position...you can do it!

Sorry if i'm sounding a bit ticked in my posts - I'm a HUGE Cubs fan - and I swear that team is going to send me over the edge - down 5-2 right now - just a horrible start to the playoffs

 

[HUDSON]

Gotta have faith man...I had Kent St last weekend and they were getting hammered by Ball St. But, in the end Kent got a late TD to cover for me.

I just would like to see Tech get ANY points right about now....I'll even say the magic word..."Please!"

 

[HUDSON]

3 pts!! Better than nothing.....but you can't match TD's with FG's. I still think Porter is going to get in the end zone before the night is over.

 

[Cash Man]

I would hedge now if i were you guys...Boise gonna open it up completely in 2nd half....:SIB

 

[Save It]

Well 21-3 at the half...could be better, could be worse...just hoping this is like the Bowling Green game i mentioned in my original post - where Boise was shut out in the 2nd half, and BG scored 7 pts...La Tech's body language though looking like they've already given up - this coaching staff i think is doing a poor job - they can still be in this game...that big 72 yard punt was huge for changing the field position and leading to the last TD - time for me to be on the right side of a backdoor cover...hope that string of dogs covering on weekday continues - need La Tech to come out of the half and score a TD!

 

[HUDSON]

Was think'n of hedging...but, I'm stick'n with Tech also. Wish I felt a little more confident with that decision though......I am 100% guaranteed that Boise does not get shut out 2nd half. That's one of those sayings where I'd stop gambling right now if that happened.

 

[Save It]

I'm sitting tight - I actually stopped playing 2nd halves awhile back - I live and die by the game sides and totals - just be nice to sneak in a 2W-0L night - come on La Tech - get back into this thing!

 

[HUDSON]

If you see 1st half stats were pretty much equal. Something's gotta go Tech's way here......They aren't playing that bad at all. Play calling has been pretty bad though....

 

[Save It]

2 huge holding plays that have affected this game - one when LaTech about to score - and now did you see that blatant hold on Johnson's 20 yd run? That's a huge "no call"...just hope they can hold them to the FG try here - I'm just in a horrible mood after that Cubs loss - how disappointing - once again they come out and look flat - played w/ no emotion tonight, didn't pull Dempster when they should have - ugh...this game is slowly slipping even farther away for LaTech - need a stop - alright - gonna step away - hope when i update my record it's a different story..gl guys

 

[HUDSON]

This is getting too frustrating...Tech's offense is just TERRIBLE!!!!!! They have one legit receiver....everyone else can not catch a damn thing!!! They should seriously be down by 30 right now...

 

[HUDSON]

EVERY MOTHER F*CKING CALL IS GOING BOISE'S WAY!! ABSOLUTE HORSE SHIT!!!!! That guy was totally out of bounds and then came back in.....Tech was surely the wrong side tonight....hands down.

 

[Save It]

Well another 1-1 night - for -200 on the juice...just can't get it going right now - finally go w/ the dog and fave covers - as i said i am a Boise fan - and did feel La Tech was right side...they had their chances but a bunch of things happened early that changed the course of the game - anyways good luck...
