Boise St. (-9.5) VS Tulsa

HoulihansTX · 10-12-09, 09:12 PM

Boise State's defense is shit on the road. This is Tulsa's Super Bowl, along with the Oklahoma game. I expect a close game. Tulsa can run the hell out of the ball, and that's Boise's very apparent weakness on the road.

Boise's Offense will have a field day though. These games are very important to Boise, since they are gunning for another BCS game.

I will just be watching, but I would wait an hour B4 gametime then take Home Dog. I mean it is THURSDAY NIGHT.

Hard to tell. Boise State has had an incredibly easy schedule to this point, although they've been impressive with it. Also Tulsa's got the home weekday night angle going for them, which is likely also pulling the line down.

Went up to -10 at my local.

i don't know what the over/under is, but one would probably be better off taking the under seeing as how Boise St is only allowing 14.4 ppg and Tulsa is only allowing 16.2 ppg. Tulsa has gone 0-4 O/U this year and Boise St 2-2 O/U.

I meant pulling it down in the sense of "why isn't it more than 9.5"?

Cool.

Hey Kid1822, If you're on the fence or not 100% confident DON"T PLAY. 50+ games on Saturday, so you can for sure find one that sticks out to you. I always try to find value in smaller conference games.

I believe this game will be played on Wednsday Night at Tulsa in Oklahoma 5pm Kickoff. Boise State is an awful road team but Tulsa lost there best playmakers from last year. Fresno state played Boise at Fresno and played them well for 3 quarters before getting smashed in the 4th quarter Final Boise 51 Fresno State 34. In Tulsa only game against a ranked team was an embarrasing 45 - 0 slashing at oklahoma. Tulsa will not be able to hang with Boise in this game and should win by 14 points. I believe but who the hell am I so do what you think is right.

I hope the total is really high, these teams will play each other tough. Boise will be able to stop them.

I'm teasing it down. Boise wins, but it may not be pretty.

hillardoh · 10-13-09, 12:52 PM

this game is played in bad weather thats why the spread is low

pavyracer · 10-13-09, 01:04 PM

I like Tulsa +10.5. Good offenses give trouble to Boise St.

kid1822 · 10-13-09, 01:04 PM

Weather looks pretty good to me. 70-80 degrees. It may rain but that is about it. What is so bad about that?

Second this post. Tulsa not even comparable to Fresno's running game and even they couldnt hang in with Boise late in the game. Tulsa looked awful against OU and barely hung on against Rice for the cover, who is arguably one of the worst teams this year. Boise needs big wins on road for BCS so you can bet they will be out for big numbers. I kind of like we are getting value because of the home team, week night game. Good luck on whomever you choose.

ahh slippin,fumbles, missed field goals, dropped passes, failed snaps.the rain slows the ball down when thrown. no one really wants to play in bad weather. In agame that has bad weather you want a team with the better rushing
