Gotta FOCUS....
Sure.....Boise doesn't deserve the equal billing they receive each year with Bama and others.....
THAT is not the issue here.....for ONE game..what are they capable of ?
ANSWER?....beating most any team on a given night....
still showing obvious bias.....officials.....luck....just another lucky team with an easy schedule huh?......ROTFLMFAO
*missing one huge point....their defense is pretty tough....easy to check....when they DO play good teams...on a big stage....what do they give up?.....compare to what the same team got vs other good D's....agree this should be a low scoring game....UNDER maybe the way to go...
just for our entertainment .....since you think a 2-3 TD Georgia win is in the cards....You really should post....what should be a monster play on football genius Richt and his Dawgs.......
Is this thread not entertaining enough for you?
We all know that just about any team can beat another in any given game. We see it happen relatively frequently - Appalachian State/Michigan, Virginia Tech/JMU, Jacksonville State/Mississippi, Louisiana Monroe/Alabama, etc. etc. etc. This goes without saying. So of course Boise can beat Georgia. That's not the issue.
The issue is what side is more likely to cover the number. To do that we have to seperate fact from fiction. So quoting Boise's gaudy numbers without applying some perspective to those numbers is meaningless. And the fact of the matter is that Boise has accumulated those numbers and win/loss record against the little sisters of the poor. Does that mean Boise sucks? Of course not. It just means it shouldn't be and won't be a factor in capping this game.
I do, however, think that even though VT's talent is not comparable to Georgia's, the Boise game against VT is the best measuring stick we have on gauging how the Georgia game will play out this year. How Boise fared against Utah State on the smurf turf is not relevant whatsoever.
If that is so, then we also need to put Boise's victory over VT in perspective as well. I've watched the game about 7 or 8 times, and I have concluded that it was a victory of smoke and mirrors, not of Boise being the better team. In fact my conclusion was that if VT had not completely shitted themselves in the 1st quarter, they would have rolled to a comfortable 2 TD+ victory. I think they were clearly the better team.
So applying what I've learned from the VT game to the Georgia game (and nothing else at this point), coupled with the prior opening day experience between these two teams in which Georgia won 48-13, I see no reason to believe that Georgia will not win this game comfortably.
Although I like Georgia a lot in this game, I'm not 100% sure I will bet it. I came out with an edict last season that I would not wager any money on the Mike Shula of the SEC East because of how undisciplined and unpredictable they are. At this point I'll wait for the lines to come out and see what I like and what I don't. If Boise is the favorite in the game, however, I can pretty guarantee I will have money on Georgia because then the game would fit my ideal betting situation which to bet on any underdog that I think will win outright.
). I recognized my mistake shortly after posting, but Covers has no edit feature so there really wasn't much I could do about it.
