aggieaccountant · Answer

I tend to agree.  I went through and ran the numbers and come up with TCU by 2 points.  Typically, when a line is off by 5 or more (based on my analysis), I play it.  This one would fall in that category, but as of right now, something is holding me back.  Still thinking about what I want to do here, if anything.

Sasinator · Answer

Remember that  OU mismatch ( on paper ) no one in the world gave Boise a chance, i did so did my betting account on the ML, I still remember that game...I think Boise has revenge on their minds, last year they started so god damn quick they looked like they were going to KILL TCU, then TCU adjusted, Frosh Moore got unsettled and they couldn &#x27;t move the ball...I think they bounce back and get them back.  Gladly take the points, and Ill take the over too...

Every team has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. TCU  ROLLS.

Bruuuuce78 · Answer

The dogs haven&#x27;t been doing bad bowling so far.  I think this will be a great game.  Revenge game too.............I have backed TCU most of the year.  Its Boise time now.............

There is a big difference between this UNDEFEATED TCU team who should be playing Bama for the national championship (I agree with you Bob on that one) and the 11-1 Oklahoma Sooners in 2007. First of all this was a big let down game for Oklahoma as they thought they were getting disrepected playing a non power conference team. Boise was just starting their rise so no one really knew how good they could be. I will grant you that this Boise team is probably better than the 2007 version but no one is sleeping on this Boise team either. Plus like TCU has shown all year they will take every opportunity to score as much as they can on Boise because they feel that have been disrespected all year. TCU will roll big tonight.

Also, there is still the possibility that TCU could share in the national championship if they roll (and I mean roll) Boise State and Texas beat Alabama. Believe me that hasn't escaped their mind tonight.

I personally think that TCU wins by at least three TDs. BOL!

jesron1269 · Answer

Here is something else to think about too. Boise State has played and beat one ranked opponent all year whereas TCU has played and beat three. The record of Boise State opponents who played in bowl games this year is 0-2 (Oregon and Nevada), whereas the record of TCU's opponents in bowl games this year is 6-0 (Clemson, SMU, Air Force, BYU, Utah and Wyoming). Just keep that mind in terms of strength of schedule. BOL!

Potpie · Answer

The difference here is that TCU isn&#x27;t looking past this game.  They have been on a mission all season long and they were consistently dominant.&#xD;&#xA;Boise will not roll over, but they just didn&#x27;t play anybody during the regular season--the best wins being Oregon at home their first game (Oregon got worked in their bowl game) and beating Nevada at home late in the season.  Where is the prep work to condition Boise for this magnitude of an opponent?&#xD;&#xA;TCU on the other hand dominated BYU and Utah late in the season and look at what those two teams did in their bowl games.&#xD;&#xA;Bottom line is Boise and the Oklahoma game is in the past.  There&#x27;s a new Cinderella in town and their out of the Mountain West Conference.&#xD;&#xA;TCU 27  Boise 17

I&#x27;ll never understand people saying things like "remember that game a few years ago and how this happened...well that&#x27;s going to have an effect on this game."&#xD;&#xA;People who base picks on something that has nothing to do with a current game should lose every bet just for being retarded. &#xD;&#xA;If you like Boise &#x2B;7.5 there should be solid reasoning behind it other than "remember when Oklahoma was supposed to kill them"...&#xD;&#xA;I got TCU at -7 and my reasoning only comes from the fact that from watching both teams THIS YEAR with my own eyes leads me to believe the Horned Frogs can cover the 7. &#xD;&#xA;It is not an easy pick and I didn&#x27;t lay the house on it that&#x27;s for sure. &#xD;&#xA;I&#x27;ll just never understand people looking to the past when things have no connection and basing a pick on it.

[/Quote]Hell the last time Boise State lost was in 2007.  By the looks of it their were throughly dominated twice that season... first in week two when they went into Washington and got destroyed 24-10.  That was the score at half time and then neither team scored again the second half.  I didn&#x27;t know that Jake Locker has been playing this long but he had a heck of a game.  The second time was the last game of the regular season Boise State went into Hawaii and Brennen and Company pulled away in the third quarter and never looked back to win 39-27.  BOL!

Why are poeple like TCU so much? Is that Boise St that bad?&#xD;&#xA;I am sure take BOISE ST outright, the poinst is an extra gift.&#xD;&#xA;BOISE ST 34- 31 TCU.&#xD;&#xA;GL to all.

HutchEmAll · Answer

Boise State wasn&#x27;t in the same class as Oklahoma if they played 10 times.  Trouble is, they only play the game once. &#xD;&#xA;Not sure what the Boise St./Oklahoma game from a couple years ago has to do with this game, though.

[/Quote]No Boise State isn&#x27;t a bad team as a matter of fact they are a good team but I just happen to think that TCU is the best team in college football.  They have a lot more to win than Boise does.  If Boise wins great for them and their program but they still have no shot at sharing in the national title whereas TCU does.  That among the many reasons I have already posted I like TCU tonight.  In either event this will be a great game to watch and one I have been waiting for all post-season!  BOL!!!

slmdnk · Answer

Sadly, Oregon Duck fan here adding my 2 cents. IMO TCU is the pick. Remember, BSUs Big Victory this season was a win over the Ducks. In light to Oregon's humiliating loss to Ohio State at the Rose (sob) it seems Boise's weak schedule looks even worse.

I'm on a horrible losing streak right now so my opinion means nothing but I think Frogs roll to comfortable win.

Jayw23 · Answer

TCU has beat 6 teams that WON bowl games this year..... ZERO for Boise... Good enough for me.

letmepicks · Answer

Thanks, Jesron and robruckus for your great point.

My only concern is many poeple on TCU, Las Vegas don't want to pay to the public.

Should I take the 7.5 or 8 points by the time kick off?

DoubleUp4Life · Answer

Yeah the BCS Jerks were afraid that Both Boise St and TCU would Finish Undefeated unless they Played each other &#xD;&#xA;TCU should Have Played Bama for the Championship or If they had to get Texas in there , Florida vs  TCU would Have been a Good Matchup .....&#xD;&#xA;Boise St should Have Played Cincinnati&#xD;&#xA;IMNHO The MWC is Much better than the WAC ...Just not sure if TCU will be "Up" for this One after thinking Championship...&#xD;&#xA;BOL Brother ... those Points are tempting
