    Boise St -20.5?
    I'm so very anxious to hear some legit arguments in favor of toledo +20.5 other than they played Ohio St tough. My first inclination for this game was boise by 28... hard game to touch. thoughts?

    this is a ridiculous line for a home game for a team that could win 8-9 games this year. I thought this would be capped at 12 or 13



    I got boise winning this by 17-21 so it's a no play for me

        Wish i had a solid argument for Toledo, but I don't. Ohio State is definately not Boise. Kellen Moore will chew up that defense and Boise defenders should have no problem containing Toledo...final will be something like 45-17....

                I have been thinking about that too, Toledo is a good team, probably the best over all team Boise will play so far this year, and probably all year in the regular season. -20.5 points is a lot, but it is @ Boise. I have been going back and fourth in this one, it would be a great opportunity to create a teaser with a few other picks with.

                  Toledo can score some points. I wouldn't underestimate the home field and a pretty good offense.

                      Ummm... No it's not at Boise. It's at Toledo.

                        their offense looked horrible at OSU


                        they got just 40 yards rushing and they needed 40 passing plays just to get 290 yards passing (only 50% completion percentage). The only reason they got 22 points was because of a big special teams play and OSU couldn't sustain any drives

                          OSU at home is a tough defense for any offense. They shut Oregon down too, so that isn't really a fair comparison. I don't respect Boise St.'s Inflated stats against cup cakes. scoring 22 against OSU and having ESPN put their score in blue on the main page is enough to keep me from laying 3 TD's against Toledo.

                                Boise's defense is every bit as good as OSU's defense

                                  Road vs home though. Having that home edge is a big plus in my opinion. I give 2.5-3 points for home field when I am capping the game. I think Boise will win no doubt about it, and I am not arguing Toledo's case to win the game SU, I am only arguing that 3 TD's is a lot of points to lay on a road team playing against a home team that almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets of this season so far just last week. Boise could cover, but I don't think it is the smartest pick of all the ones on the board.

                                    I'm playing kind of the devil's advocate here cause I think boise could cover this spread but will likely win this game by 17-21


                                    The only reason that OSU game was close is because OSU's offense played horrendously and the big special teams play early. Bauserman sucks and he really sucked in this game. There's a world of difference between Bauserman and Kellen Moore and I think Moore is gonna assrape this defense


                                    I wish this game was handicapped at -16.5 cause I would jump all over that, but I think there's a very real possibility that boise wins by 28-35

                                      I would take a look at the over if I liked Boise. I have a feeling this one will be a high scoring game, but I agree it is not out of the realm of possibility to think Boise blows them out, I just wouldn't bet on it.

                                        Boise overs are traditionally not a good play cause their defense is awesome

                                          I just looked at it and saw it was set at 60.5. I wouldn't bet on a total that high for this game. I didn't know what the total was. i though it would be in the 50's.

                                            I dont see boise state giving up more than 3 tds and i see boise scoring at will. my score prediction is 54- 21.
                                            Same result last year pretty much.

                                                Boise is the best team in the country by far, this shouldnt be within 40.

                                                      I hate Boise St. But, a 4 touchdown win for me. Boise isn't Ohio St. but, boise is really good at what they do. You never know what play will be called in any situation and that's one advantage they have over any other team. They're just fearless with play calling...

                                                          Um... I think Toledo will show up today. They play much better at Home than on the Road. Secondly, I loved how they gave Ohio State I challenge last week. Toledo +20 is the play.

                                                            Interesting to see how Boise state perform in their first prime time game of the season against an underrated toledo team.

                                                              You do know that Boise has already played Georgia in Atlanta and destroyed them right? This is by far not their hardest or biggest game in prime time so far

                                                                Huge spread and lots of unknowns. Why play this? Flip a coin. The potato chuckers could win by 2 or 52.
