While everyone is beginning to sleep in the book, and Scud is getting his teabag pictures for next year’s powerpoints, the very last game on the card ends up being a 4 star pick. Obviously Boise is the superior team here, but there are a number of factors which make this point spread very easy for them to cover. First of all, they are home, and the blue turf has been the demise of many teams coming to Idaho looking for a “W”. Now, Boise lost their opener to Ole Miss, but this is completely irrelevant to the analysis at hand. First of all, Ole Miss is a very good football team and, other than the fact that their student body has a low IQ, they don’t at all resemble Louisiana – Lafayette. Second, Boise was actually very much in that game going into the 4th quarter.
More importantly, let’s look at how Boise did against the two teams which more closely resemble ULL. Boise defeated Colorado St 37-24. Colorado State is far superior to ULL. Last week they went on the road to UCONN and beat the Huskies 38-21. UConn and ULL are similar teams, but Boise travelled to Uconn and played in a tough environment and still covered the 16 ½ points. It’s a whole different kettle of fish when ULL travels to Boise.
On the other side of the fence, ULL has been playing miserable football this year. They lost by 28 points to La Tech, a team no where near as good as Boise. They also got hammered by Ole Miss, the same team which struggled with Boise. ULL’s defense is awful. They are giving up 37 points per game. Look for Boise to put up 40+ and cover this one going away in front of their cheering fans.
