If you are giving 3 points, you are giving too many. You can get 1.5 to 2 all over Vegas. A tough game to call here. Oregon State has a powerful offense led by the Rodgers boys. The problem for Oregon State is that for the second time in two years, they blew a chance to go to the Rose Bowl by losing their final game. They also tend go give up a lot of points, having given up 28 or more in 5 games, including all 4 of their losses.

BYU actually wond their way into this game, their 5th Las Vegas Bowl in as many years. They have split their last 4 games in Vegas, both S/U and ATS, but have not covered in the past two years. BYU put up a ton of points this year, but was held to 28 or fewer by the tougher competition that they played. Their defense was better than many thought.

This game will probably be won by the team who wants it the most. Oregon State has a great bowl record going for them, having won their last 5 bowl games. It is tough to wager against a record like that, and I would not. A pass here for me, but gun to head, Oregon State is the play.

I have noticed that Bodog is rather generous when you bid the dogs. I always get at least 1/2 more.

I don't know if I am going to play this yet. I will decided closer to game time... but I agree with you on most of the points you made.

**LINE-crush-ER** · 12-21-09, 01:35 PM

love the over
Havent seen much to think that either team has any ability to slow one another down
Oregon state should be able to score faster
Byu is a little more turn over prawn
44-38 either way really here
Just going to take the over
,may tease it with the over on the giants game also

**paste_me** · 12-21-09, 01:39 PM

interesting point, i think that is the way to play this one! i'm with you on the over

**GiveMeaBJ** · 12-21-09, 01:42 PM

Really you guys think this is for sure over 60? If it goes over it will only be by a few, not much value. BYU defense has been solid, BYU offense has not shown up often. That is a lot of points.

**jram68** · 12-21-09, 04:04 PM

i'm on the oregon st -2.5 bet tonight.

**paste_me** · 12-21-09, 04:14 PM

hmm.. everyone seems to agree on this one. only one thing can explain it, TRAP GAME!

**jram68** · 12-21-09, 06:10 PM

Trap games take place when there is some sort of following game. Since this is a bowl game, this cannot be a trap game

.
I've got 4 units on Orgy St

**BigdaddyQH** · 12-21-09, 06:55 PM

You guys really have some wild definitions of a trap game. Obviously a term that has been overused to death. Was the Fresno State fiasco a trap game? Was the 'Nova fiasco a trap game? The answer in both cases is NO. Now the 'Nova game was a "bait and switch" game, as all of you who jumped on the 'Nova unfortunately found out.

This is just a good bowl game that is hard to figure out. Bowl games should be like this. Wagering on bowl games should be at a minimum because the teams should be very equal. I do not think that anyone would be shocked no matter what happens in this game unless someone wins 45-3.

**8badtuna** · 12-21-09, 07:42 PM

OSU -2.5 for a couple of units for me

**tblues2005** · 12-21-09, 08:03 PM

I for sure like the Beavers in this game. I sure see no defense here either so it probably will be a high scoring game. Almost all of them pac 10 teams have high scoring games so we can expect the game to be in the 30's for both teams here.

**Reed Harris** · 12-22-09, 01:33 AM

Over 57' lots of scoring by both teams.

**regretz** · 12-22-09, 02:19 AM

byu+over

**edoggdriveby** · 12-22-09, 02:21 AM

Everyone be sure to check that Las Vegas forecast....rainy/snowy with gusty winds. Passing games should be down, which is going to favor Oregon State. The Rodgers brothers should get plenty of screens and short passes where they are the most dangerous. A break for OSU's deflated secondary if the weather hinders BYU's passing game.

**Shortstop** · 12-22-09, 08:10 AM

BYU and the Under for me.

**JMUplayer** · 12-22-09, 09:43 AM

What's the forecast for the wind/rain?

**msec512** · 12-22-09, 09:47 AM

I like Oregon St and under.

Where did you get snow from?

30 percent chance of rain and very windy (20-30 mph).

**titleist1604** · 12-22-09, 10:19 AM

OSU all the way

**wolf pack of 1** · 12-22-09, 10:48 AM

go beavers

**BigdaddyQH** · 12-22-09, 10:51 AM

It rained in So. Cal last night and this morning, which means Las Vegas gets it today. The weather may play a part in this game.

**goblue12** · 12-22-09, 11:03 AM

BYU is looking like a sharp side right now. Should the lines hold, I'll throw some cash their way in the 2H.

Making my Beavers bet that much easier with that comment...

**darrell74** · 12-22-09, 11:36 AM

Take the Beavers.

Let's cash

. Oregon State has bowl history in it's favor. If the nasty weather plays any factor in shutting down the passing game this game should stay below 58, which is a lot of points.

**bigcat1** · 12-22-09, 03:05 PM

you know (just my 2 cents i am 0-2 on the bowl games) taking byu +3, that prob makes oregon state a lock

**GoldRush7** · 12-22-09, 03:17 PM

Over

**timbo46** · 12-22-09, 03:22 PM

Oregon St. is DEFINITELY a focused favorite...I'm on them.

**bigduke42** · 12-22-09, 03:31 PM

anyone have BEN BURNS plays

**zerodegre** · 12-22-09, 04:56 PM

will not rain in vegas

**CappinTerp** · 12-22-09, 05:02 PM

Alot of people like the over..... UNDER IT IS.!! (The weather will help this cause.)

**booya** · 12-22-09, 05:07 PM

BYU +3 .A natural fit for this Cougars team as 5 straight in vegas.Big advantage here.
