... 34 degrees with wind, rain, and sleet!? No way they cover -37.5 and the over is questionable. A little nicer and maybe the OVER but this cold will f up gd ole Louisiana Tech. I would be surprised if they score at all and Boise putting up 65 on their own, get real! I love the broncs but they wont run it that high.

I completely agree. The precipitation isn't supposed to start until later in the evening - I'm taking Boise 1H and LT game.Comment -
Louisiana Tech is not use to that weatherComment -
Here is what I think. The only way that Boise covers -37.5 is if the weather holds up till the 4th and they don't turnover the ball and they don't sit starters. If the weather is the shitz, than expect them to turn the ball over more often than usual and not score as often. My prediction: 38-10 Boise. Honestly though, this has the makings of the San Jose game with the starters sitting early if they r up considerably. Cold weather and rain equal greater chance for injuries. Man this would be an easy game to throw. If u know what I mean.sbrComment -
just checked out the boise st local news station page and took a look at the skycam for the area and it looks pretty nasty there. radar shows rain currently in the area with additional fronts building up and moving into the area round halftime. could be a great play for the under here.Comment -
This makes me glad I'm staying away from the game totals/side. Personally I think if Boise's going to have a chance to to cover for the game, it will happen by the half. If they don't do it then it prob won't happen as they won't be running up a ton more pts in the 3rd and 4th qtrs. I don't know if this is the right way to play it but it's the way I'm playing it.Comment -

i got boise 1H got a feeling they will put the brakes on like they did two weeks agoComment -
I don't buy into the "bad weather" equal low scoring argument. I remember the Patriots beating the hell out of the Titans last year 59-0 and the Cardinals 49-7 (or something like that) the year before. I know there are other examples but those two are the first that come to mind.
IMO bad weather favors the offense (unless its a mudder, which this isn't because its on turf), they know where they are going and the defense doesn't. In this situation Boise will not be affected by the cold and the LA boys most likely will be.
I took Boise for 2 units in the 1H and 1 unit on the game. The game spread doesn't leave a lot of room for mistakes for Boise. I red zone turnover could allow LA Tech to cover if they show up and ignore the cold.
Just my 2centsComment -
That scares me too. If they go up by 30+ in the 1H I can see them doing what they did a few weeks ago and take it easy in the 2H.
One angle that play into that decision is the fact that Boise is coming off a bye/long week and then don't play until next Friday. They may not want to only play 1 half of solid football in a two week span.Comment -
It affects different teams in different ways. Weather didn't affect the Titans Pats game last year because it was just a snow shower, no wind or sleet or rain, just slowly falling snowflakes. Also, the Titans SUCKED the first half of the season. They went 0-6 to start before they got things together.Comment -
Please enlighten me on when the last time the Broncs played in bad weather and LA aswell. None this year.sbrComment -
Anyone want to bet 100 sbr pts? I'll take the under. Half of the pts up front.sbrComment -
And this matters how? One team lives and recruites players that have grown up the great north west where it is cold and rainy. The other lives and recruits in the south central Us where it is hot and humid.
Who do you think will be better adjusted for the cold?
And this doesn't even touch on the obvious talent difference.Comment -
