San Jose +7 Under 41

[Rixsaw]

I went against conventional wisdom and took Boise and Over. This is a conference game, and they are fighting for the #1 spot. Boise has additional motivation to stay in and move up in the BCS spot. Although I don't think they will be a BCS bowl contender.

The under is the easiest play. Just as under West VA was an easy call. That game went way over. Anyway, best of luck to all.

stricklywinners....thanks for sharing your strategy.

PS: yes I post my play (first ever) after the game has started. Just got done w/ dinner and dishes.

I'm taking Boise and the over. This is a game where Boise is playing for votes. They need to win, and win with conviction. They can't let SJSU hang around and take this game from them. Boise has NMSU, Utah St, and Idaho for their next 3 games, all of those Boise should handle quite easily. So, if you're looking for the "trap, letdown, look-ahead" angle for Boise, it ain't happening. They rout San Jose St tonight with BCS voters watching. Chris Peterson knows the routine. Nothing against San Jose St here, I like what Dick Tomey has done with San Jose St, I just don't think they match up well against Boise St offense. Look for Boise to score early, and often. Then Tomey will have to abandon the run and throw the ball. Take away SJSU passing stats against Utah St, and they're run game and pass game is mediocre at best.

I have a formula where you look at the past games and look for match ups. What you're looking for is a reason why you would take SJSU...........is it they're offense? Defense? If you really looked at the past games SJSU played, and look at how they played them, you would've seen how shady their QB play is. In another thread I stated that the SJSU QB threw for 50 yards in a game.........50 fricken yards, sorry but this is Div 1-A. If you're playing on a team that is handing that many scholarships out, you have got to have a QB that can complete the ball downfield to give your running game a chance. What value was there in picking SJSU? Boise ST has been in this position before, where they are playing for a BCS berth, while SJSU was playing for a conference title that they've never attained. i think that was the value right there.
