Thanks DC, you too! :mj14:
Boise St (-5.5) over LaTech
Winning this week won't be easy, though. The Broncos are 2-3 on the road this season but every team La Tech has beaten Boise has beaten by more, they need this game for a shot at the WAC title. Zabransky was benched in the third quarter. Broncos have 24 takeaways, including 14 interceptions, and 33 sacks in 11 games. La Tech is undefeated at home but the speed and drive of Boise should be enough to pass over La Tech. The Broncos has a good return game that ran all over the Vandals last week and they should find holes in the coverage team of La Tech. Boise needs to play well and shake this terrible road play, but they should today against a good but not as good LaTech team.
Cheers

VT (-25) over UNC
The miami game woke this team up, they will want to show up and if they get on top they should go for the throat. UNC is a scrappy team but they barely beat duke and got rolled @ Louisville. The hokies are always hyped up in blacksburg and with a shot at the ACC championship and a big bowl game Beamer and the boys should have a pretty good game plan dialed up. The VT defense will need to step up beacuse if they cause pressure the UNC offense will struggle you give the hells any bit of sucess and this play might be trouble. Still at home with a tough Tech team looking for a big night not only from its seniors but its big play guys like Vick, Royal, Clowney and the solid LBs. IMO the Hokies have an edge in special teams and it will be tough for UNC to keep the pressure off the kicker and if they max protect look for some big returns. Vick needs to show up as well, but behind his big o-line and considering what a focused VT team did to UVA the hokies have an advantage.

Fresno (-16) over Nevada
Was leaning on nevada all day but I think the Fresno team fresh off a loss will come out strong. Plus they have a very good defense and I think they have a huge edge in that catagory. The Fresno offense is very good and they have the ability to score. Biggest concern on this game is Nevada selling out at home trying to make a game of it, they are used to scoring a lot of points on teams. Think the buldog defense shows up and if they get some stops I see the wolfpack struggling to keep up. Do not want to see the USC hangover for Fresno but they have too good of a coach to let that happen. Also with a boise win this game means a lot to the bulldogs and they have reason to show and shut the pack down.
