#49Originally posted by KubilakIf you are going to bet your life savings on one game then it better be Auburn -3.
I agree with Kubilak! Auburn -3 is a safe bet. At the worst, it'd be a push. But I don't see Oregon matching up to Auburn in size. Cam Newton can obviously handle tremendous pressure and Auburn has come from behind numerous times. They're (IMO) the best halftime adjustment team this year.
Not saying that the Broncos cant cover the spread but Utah is looking for revenge and they haven't had the letdown Boise State has.Comment -

#50I would never put my whole bankroll on a team of college kids who are crushed they are playing in the shit-hole bowl and not the national championship. I don't trust their kicker to make PAT's @ this point in time either.
good luck thoughComment -

#51Your frickin nuts!!!!!! dude, if you have to bet that much, buy some points or take the moneyline. With that big of a bet even a 30% payout is a nice chunk of change.
It would be great if you win, you just might. But you will be emboldened to make psycho bets like this again. And it will bite you. What are you going to do when Boise jumps to a lead then pulls it's starters to get all it's seniors some playing time in their last game? Whereas Utah keeps fighting to pull within 10? What will you do then? I mean besides bitching about your horrible luck of course.
Good luck. But I see a reap what you sow in here somewhere.Comment -

#52Boise was hoping to play a bigger and better team not too mention that they share the WAC championship with my Hawaii Warriors, what a bitter sweat 2010 season has been for them Bronco's .
All I know is I wouldn't be putting no 14k on a team that might not show up because of motavational issues, dont bank all your money on this game there are better games to play down the road.
Good Luck and God Bless .Comment -

#53Dude...money line the chargers the next two weeks and you want even have to turn on the game to watch it!
You do not need to put that Boise game in. If you lose its reckless betting and if you win you are reinforcing negative money management that will bite you next time you have a gut feeling.Owner/Cool Works CupComment -

#56going all in with your bank roll is one thing (not recommended either), but your life savings is crazy
Don't take this the wrong way because it is only meant to be constructive, but you should not be gambling if you have no more control than this!!

#60I doubt Boise St. will come into this unmotivated. They're going to try and blow out Utah. If they lose, people will not take them seriously again next year.
Right up til the opening game next year when they get throttled by Georgia in Athens.
I have Utah +17 in all my pools....Live in Boise....have no respect for Boise State.
Stop ducking teams and claiming no one will play you, you're so good, go earn it on the road against teams that sniff the top 25 occasionally.
....Finally get out of the WAC to face better competition....what does the AD do?......schedules 2 WAC teams out of conference games next year.
Brilliant!
Take Utah and don't look back

#63-17 is a big number.
For you to really relax with your bet by a 1 score edge, Boise would need to be up by 26 points assuming Utah gets a TD with 2 point conversion to bring the number to 18 which would allow you to win your bet. Anything less than a 25 point lead means Utah can always "backdoor" and your sweating throughout assuming a 2 pt convert occurs. So if you feel a 26 point lead is possible then perhaps it's worth a play. Strange things can sometimes occur which no one expects and that one thing might allow Utah to stay within the 17 point number.
Best of luck on your decision.Comment -
