Boise 2.5 point fav at "neutral" atlanta vs Georgia.]
A&M 14 pt home favorite vs SMU (upset alert!!)

I really like Boise -2.5. They will roll Georgia.

 

[Bonner4Prez]

When was the last time A&M ever rolled anyone though?

Yeah I do too. I listened to a betting podcast the other day and the guy said that he thought Georgia should be the favorite in this game.. thought that even though Georgia went 5-7 last year that they'd be too much for Boise on a long travel.

Guess he didn't see the VT game last yr.


Barring injury, I'd be surprised if Boise wins by less than 10.

If you really want to bet Boise, you should wait. That line will probably be even - or have UGA as a 1pt favorite - by kickoff. It's already down a point since it opened this morning.

 

[PurplFrawg]

Is this line before or after they cramp up?

Do they have the Midol drips factored in?

 

[Bonner4Prez]

Just remember Boise has no receivers...they run pro style and their 2 main guys are gone.

But I believe Georgia is out of running backs.

Fair enough. I just don't see Boise blowing people out on long throws without the usual pair in the secondary.

I'm sure they have 2 more who will step up... their recruiting has increased much like ours has.

Was about to post similarly. As well as that team is coached, I suspect they'll be able to virtually plug-and-play.

Easier said than done. Proven WRs do not pop up over night. Just check Justin Blackmon's stats his first year. It takes a year to get adjusted to how the D is gonna play you.

 

[Rose Bowl]

Boise is going to be very good and I think they'll play very well in Atlanta.

 

[Houston Frog]

I'm sure a lot of people are saying our WR corp is gonna be in trouble after losing Young and Kerley, but we've got guys to fill right in…. I'm sure Boise has some receivers who can get the job done. Usually WR isn't a make or break position on a team anyway. I know Pettis and Young were good, but I don't think they made that team.

I just never saw anyone besides those 2 catch passes, whereas Dawson and Boyce have both had some huge receptions. Boyce is a beast in the making. Also Hicks? Maybe he will play this year?

 

[SnoSki]

Boise lost Pettis and Young but they still have Shoemaker in the WR and still have Doug martin at RB. They have options.

 

[jake102]

Pettis and Young will certainly hurt Boise State more than Kerley and Young will hurt us. Shoemaker is insanely good, but probably not quite as good as he looks due to the attention that was on Pettis and Young. He will have a big year.

Pettis was huge and caught everything... some of the best hands in college football with the height to go with it. He was a good fit for the types of throws that Simple Jack makes... and Young was quick and reliable as well.

I'm going to stick with my prediction of Boise winning the NC this year... the rest of the field is weak and I'm not sure there will be two BCS teams that are undefeated.

Boise might have a little more run heavy offensive scheme....Martin will open up the passing game for those younger WRs. Plus. new off coor this year...
