This is strictly an uncomfirmed rumor at this time. The word is that Boise State has been hit with the flu bug. One of their top LB's may have not made the trip. This would explain the sudden drop of the line at some Vegas books. Again, this is only an unconfirmed rumor at this time. I have seen nothing on any injury report to confirm this.

I had the same info..........
Here is my take.
Boise needs to WIPE THE FREAKING MAT with Tulsa tonight to get national respect on national TV.
Tulsa will hang around for about a quarter and then WHAM.
Boise wins this one 45-21
Took a two game $700 Parlay:
Boise State -9.5...........(could have played it last night @ -8.5 but there was still no TOTAL at my book)
Boise State OVER 55.........(Took the over since this will be an ASS WHOOPIN).
See the last three games played below. Boise lost focus in the UC Davis game thinking ahead to this one. Tulsa will score tonight but I still see a 20 point win at the LEAST. (For the BCS rankings coming out soon...they need an ASS BEATDOWN to a QUALITY TEAM ON THE ROAD).
Boise State Since 2000:
Nations Highest Winning Percentage .858
Nations Top Scoring Offense (Texas #2) 41.26 Avg per game 4,951 Points
Number 1 wins by West Coast Teams (USC #2) 103 wins
Boise State On National TV: 33-7
Boise State 2009:
Kyle Wilson Sr. Cornerback..........Massive Pimp......Will have a punt return TD tonight.
Kellen Moore Soph QB........Has not had a game this year with a QB rating below 133... 2009 Current QB Season Rating 176...Ranked SECOND NATIONALLY In COMPETION PERCENTAGE.
Austin Pettis...........6 TD's This year YPC 14.....Has caught a TD in all 5 games this year.
Titus Young.............Has a TD in 4 consecutive games this year.
Kyle Brotzman..........Kicker...........Ranke d 6th Nationally in ALL TIME POINTS.
Boise State has a 4-0 Record Vs. Tulsa
Boise State is 15-2 vs. Current Members of Conference USA.
Boise State again is 33-7 ALL-TIME on National TV.
Boise State is 3-1 ALL-TIME IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT GAMES.
Boise State Became the SECOND FBS TEAM WITH 100 WINS SINCE 2000.
Boise State Ranks In TOP 10 Nationally in 8 CATEGORIES:
Sacks
Passing
Scoring Offense
Interceptions
First Downs Allowed
Pass Defense
Special Teams (Punting)
Kick Off Return Yards
Boise State Just Made School History being Ranked #5 Entering Week 5......(You think that Tulsa is going to ruin that)????
Chris Peterson Record at Boise State 40-4.................That's RIGHT 40-4.........(You think that Tulsa is going to ruin that)????
Enough research now.
Two gamer on Boise and the OVER.............They will bring the BEAT DOWN STICKS TONIGHT.

The only problem I see on that Parlay is that I dont think it that 95% of the public will winn tonight, I also LOVE that parlay, but I just cant do it because all of the public is on those 2 plays...
BOL to you bro!! I know you are excellent at this!
I think Ill be playing the OVER in the game, or Boise and OVER on the 1st Half BOL to US!!Comment -
BOISE AND THE OVER.
BOISE MUST BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF TULSA TONIGHT.
That's what it's about.
I DID THE SAME PLAY FOR THE FRESNO GAME.
THIS WILL BE A NATIONAL TV BEATDOWN AND BOISE WILL SCORE IN THE HIGH 40's TONIGHT.
JUST NEED 16 FROM TULSA.Comment -
Just remember that the BCS comes out soon and Boise needs a QUALITY WIN ON THE ROAD BY A LARGE MARGIN.
TULSA IS SHIT.
BOISE WILL ROLL THE **** OUT OF THEM TONIGHT.Comment -
I have no way of knowing, maybe others have a better idea but it seems like the books may have taken an overall beating this weekend. Florida won as well as there was a real nice middle where late to the party LSU backers either also won or pushed, Alabama won, The Giants, Vickings and Colt's all heavy public plays won.
What I am leading up too is for many the past week or two have been very easy reads for us "square" bettors when does the too obvious plays stop? Tonight? Seems practically impossible doesn't it?
I'm still torn on this game personally. I actually agree with Smack here from a motivational standpoint. I mean this has been thought since the Oregon game to be the only real test left for Boise and that they had to not only win but win convincingly due to the remaining schedule. For those reasons there is plenty of logic. The line though is a different story. I don't see the logic in the line. Tulsa while formerly a scoring machine hasn't had as high profile success to date this season so why wasn't the line initially higher?
I might be over thinking and just making it harder than it really is. Just got a gut feeling somethings not right.Comment -
never mind. sounds like OP is correct. Acrey may not have made the tripLast edited by jefff; 10-14-09, 02:30 PM.Comment -
ya dont think Tulsa will be as equally motivated to knock off a BCS contender at home on national tv, or at least not get embarrased in the spotlight.
I've never bought into the motivation angle. if you ever played competitive sports than ya know that angle works both ways.
I like the home dog getting 10.Comment
