    Boise by 20+ in this one



    TCU's defense has gotten shredded by good offenses and this is the best offense they've faced all year

    I agree with brahmabull on this one, not to mention the game is being played in Boise.

    Air Force is a gimmick triple option team that Boise hasn't faced in about a decade



    UNLV was a terrible opponent that Boise played with about 50% effort and still won by 28



    neither one of those games mean much here

    Bosie St's only chance to impress the voters. I think they roll TCU by at leat 3 td's.

    I'm playing Neb, Texas, and South Carolina early. If any of those win I'm taking it all and doubling up on Boise.

    The don't need to run it up, Boise could win by 100, the only way they move up, if one or more of the four ahead of them shit the bed.

    TCU is a good team and in no way deserves to be getting this many points. Look at last match ups in recent history. Not only that it was a more talented BSU team in the past. Look at the turnovers in last game for TCU that wont happen vs bsu. BSU is a sucker bet line should be around 9 - Ill take tcu in pure value. Praying this line can get over 17 when the public gets involved so I can pound TCU.

    Also for over bettors neither team can run the ball vs 1 another. Look back at the past stats 2ypc type numbers.

    let the public push BSU with the over all the way up til kickoff and take TCU and the under is my plan if I get the right price.

    recent matchups??? the last time these 2 teams played, TCU was #3 in the country


    the 2010 TCU team would beat the 2011 TCU team by about 25 points for god's sake

    tcu had what -5 T.O. margin vs wyoming and still only missed covering by a TD? In a look ahead game? get your facts straight BSU didnt cover either looking ahead

    TCU is no better than nevada, don't get it twisted. The only reason this line is low is because tcu has name recognition

    On pure talent and experience, tcu is no better than nevada
