0-0-0 BIG PLAYS!!! (*3 or higher)
ok fellas...first post of the year...and i have been goinback and forth on it all week...and this latest line movement is just another wrench thrown into my thought process...but here goes..
I was on Boise the entire offseason as I assumed that VaTech would be the favorites and Boise would contend and then walk to the national championship...but then I saw the line and they were -3...Boise -3 and -3.5 as well in some places in basically a road game against a fellow top-10 team??....this would be no upset if Boise was favored and thats how the media set out for this game to be....and then I later discovered everyone is on Boise...mostly anyway....and now the line has flipped to Vatech -1, -1.5....so here is what is going on...
Virginia Tech -1.5........*1
the more I feel i loved Boise...the more I realized that was my heart talking...it has always been fun to see Boise battle the BCS corps and if they lose here they are officially out for the season...people's perceptions are that they cannot see them out of contention so early against a fellow top-10 team that has been written off and not talked about yet they return mostly every offensive star and get another star RB back in Darren Evans to go along with Ryan Williams...Tyrod Taylor has two years experience under his belt....the defense is typical Hokie defense which should be up for the task...Kellen Moore is one sick dude at QB...but this game might just be out of reach...I mean...we are talking about a WAC team vs. an ACC team...not saying ACC is good...they are a terrible conference...but they are way better than the WAC...dont forget they beat Oregon last year IN BOISE!!....how many tough ROAD games did they win???...they are 6-4 in BOWL games...the games where they face a balanced team in some cases compared to them...I am taking the (new?) favorite to win this game...
Boise State/Virginia Tech UNDER 53.........*1
for examples listed above such as VaTech's defense and Boise's isnt too shabby either....throw in the fact that its the first game so it may take a bit to get in rhythm...would note the first half under and second half over may be a good twist...but just like last year everyone was on the OVER with Boise's and Oregon's high-powered offenses had a combined 27 points...a 19-8 Boise victory....this boils down to a "cross your fingers the whole game" play....but I feel confident this is the right side....
