La Tech +38

BigDofBA · 10-26-10, 12:56 AM

I thought the exact same things.

While I think La. Tech is very mediocre at best, 38 points is a lot. If they can just run some clock and score about 14 points they should be good.

emat · 10-26-10, 01:14 AM

Don't they have a no huddle hurry up offense? I just can't see that working against Boise. Its not like LaTech has the horses like Oregon. The last thing they want to do is go 3 and out a couple times deep on their side of the field. Boise will burn the scoreboard up if they stick to that plan.

sportfan · 10-26-10, 01:26 AM

38 is a lot to cover , but Boise is capable of putting 35 points in a quarter , not sure if La tech can score more than 14

dyctom · 10-26-10, 01:42 AM

The reason Boise will cover:
They need style points to give a late push on the poll. Plus: Oregon can have a tough time at LA, its their chance to get some votes.

The reason LA Tech will cover:
They know Boise very well. They lost 35 - 45 at home last year to Boise. Problem is they lost a lot starters and their head coach to Knoxville. The new coach is former ttu offense coordinator. They could put a air show and sneak a backdoor cover in 2nd half.

Please realize one thing. Boise cannot be 1 or 2 in the BCS unless the other undefeated teams in the power conferences lose. Boise can win by 200 it won't matter. Auburn, Oregon, Michigan State, Missouri must lose for them to be 1 or 2 at the end of the year. I do think this will happen so they should be 1 or 2 but winning by 100 means nothing unless the other end happens. Those other teams should be 1 or 2 if they run the table in those conferences AND championship games no matter what Boise does.

kurt_06518 · 10-26-10, 08:30 AM

this is a tough one to call, i think the best bet is the over cause ltech can score and if they can get 20 points we should have the over locked up

thebestthereis · 10-26-10, 08:45 AM

la tech 10-1 ats vs winning teams, they will cover this number tonight

kurt_06518 · 10-26-10, 08:47 AM

Spread is dropping, down to 37 now

How far back does this record go? If this is since like the early 90's I would take less stock in it, but if it's from this year then I love it. Nicely done.

tokio · 10-26-10, 09:11 AM

LA Tech +40.

Since Boise State is on the outside looking in..... do you think their coach looks at the previous scores? Do you think he looks and sees that L Tech lost to Texas A&M 16-48 and then tries to have a "more impressive win"? Boise State only won by 10 points last year and another 10 point win this year and they should be excluded from any national championship talk. 37 points is a ton..... Im just wondering if Boise will be trying to run up the score on national tv. Oregon looked impressive in their game last week. Is Boise going to come out and try to put on a show?

I'm just asking.....

kurt_06518 · 10-26-10, 09:15 AM

Boise does not like running the score up on mediocre teams, watch for them to take the foot off the pedal second half

Husker36 · 10-26-10, 09:39 AM

I'm thinking Boise State -21.5 first half
L Tech +37 for the game

dbacker51 · 10-26-10, 09:42 AM

I would argue that 45-10 is just as impressive as 48-10 in Boise St's eyes, so Boise wanting to make a statement is very relative. I will agree with one point here, this is tough to call. Not ruling it out but I'm looking at 1H for other play options.

AdamL2424 · 10-26-10, 09:44 AM

I'm on la tech the line moved down to 37.5

kurt_06518 · 10-26-10, 09:46 AM

i think boise 1st half, ltech game could be the play

Godsmack · 10-26-10, 09:50 AM

spread is dropping, yet 81% is on boise. this should tell us one thing

kurt_06518 · 10-26-10, 09:53 AM

it doesnt mean anything, this happens every week and the games can still go either way and they have in the past

Is this a joke. Look back at the record. Already blew out 3 this year.

True, but that doesn't mean that they won't put on the brakes 2nd half. Average score in the second half is 15-7. The best approach seems like waiting for 2nd half. and then playing the under if BSU is in control.

ManBearPig · 10-26-10, 10:50 AM

Boise blew out San Jose in the 1H and didn't score a point in the 2nd so I would say they shut it down. If you watched the game all they did was run the ball down the middle and Moore wasn't even in the game. I would be weary of them doing that again tonight if they get up too big in the 1H. Albeit LT isn't as bad as SJ and could score to keep Boise's interest but this game shouldn't even be close in the 1H. Although Peterson's not one to really win a game like 72-10 so the over is reliant on LT actually scoring some points.

Boise State will play their game and score on every offensive possession if they can, but will they throw long bombs every time no. Their defense is the key to them covering spreads, not their offense. They will score 40+ a game on almost anyone. I don't think their coach looks at other scores because they need Oregon State and Virginia Tech to do well, this helps them not 10 more points vs Mary Sister School for the blind, it only hurts them. If they are undefeated and 1 of these 4 Missouri, Auburn, Michigan State and Oregon have at least 1 loss they will be in the title game almost certainly. I highly doubt ALL those teams will have zero losses at the end of the year.

True. But they are still pissed they got jumped in the polls and will show it tonight. While winning by 100 wont help much, winning a just a little will hurt them. TCU could jump them if they slip just a little. La Tech will have at least 3 turnovers in the rain on the smurf turf, and Boise will turn those into points. 55 - 14.

I said the same thing above...I'm glad at least one person see's this the way I do

I won't touch the game spread/total, I'm going to try and make my money on the half plays.

thebestthereis · 10-26-10, 12:07 PM

they got jumped by auburn who plays in the sec and beat lsu, this will happen every time and if auburn goes undefeated in the sec they are in the title whether boise is pissed or not, so will the other schools. i don't think boise is pissed at all and beating la tech by 40 will solve nothing yet they do need to look good. they still play fresno, hawaii, and nevada all decent teams. they should be glad they are not number 1, it doesn't matter in the end no matter what they do. they need the others to lose which will happen, the system is their friend right now.

LINE-crush-ER · 10-26-10, 12:13 PM

sorry I just posted the same thing , I could of left it unsaid didnt see this post .
La tech can make first downs and eat up the clock

AMcBoarder · 10-26-10, 12:20 PM

It drives me nuts that Missouri is now in the conversation. They beat an over-rated Oklahoma team. Too bad Boise isn't also going to the Pac10. Hopefully, being in the Mtn West will help considering how bad the WAC is. Although they probably won't get a chance to prove it, Boise could hang with any team in the nation. I'm not saying they would win, but they would definitely be able to compete.

bigkrezca32 · 10-26-10, 12:24 PM

Hmm..I know no likes Bodog, but if you're betting La Tech..why not bet the current +38.5 on Bodog (esp when Pinnacle is currently at 37).

PicksFromBabylon · 10-26-10, 12:27 PM

What's the over/under at? It's not available on some sites

bigkrezca32 · 10-26-10, 12:41 PM

64 is what I see

AdamL2424 · 10-26-10, 01:24 PM

La tech and over is s solid bet

canepole · 10-26-10, 02:15 PM

la tech will score 14
