I seriously would not want to be the one in charge of hanging this number in Vegas.

"Okay fellas, what number can we set where we'll get some action on the under?"

[voice from across the smoke-filled room]

"How about 155?"

It's GOT to be the highest number we've seen in a while.

I think a Hawai'i game was in the 80's last year, no?

Ya I remember a game last year at 80....I just don't see them putting it any higher than that though because of Boise's defense....If they do I will be on the Under

Yo Bruno,

The total for the Nev/Boise St game should open at around 57-60 pts

Here's how Vegas set the total:

They add the average offensive scoring of both teams and divide it by 2, and get a total

Then they add the average points allowed by each defense, divide it by 2 and get a total.

They then add the total average points scored + the total average points allowed and come up with the Over/under for the game.

This formula is typically correct +/- 1-3 pts.

 

PS. Love the avatar!  Kenny "the Snake" and the Raiders of the 1970's will always be the baddest, meanest, and most out of control bunch of  lunatics to ever step foot on the gridiron!

Damn! I miss the good old days......

That 57-60 is way too low. These two teams can score tons of points. While Boise has the ability to play some defense, keep in mind La tech put 35 on them. This opens at at least 70.

There' 0 chance this game opens at less than 63...

Nevada and Boise are both very public, high-scoring teams that EVERYONE knows about..

I'd say it opens at 71- BSU/Utah St was at 61- and Nevada's O is much better than the Aggies

And Wiseguy- that is NOT how they set the total..

although wiseguy said "here's how vegas does it" or w/e the fact that he also said "this is typically correct within 3 points" would imply that the first statement isn't exactly what he meant or that he thinks vegas can't always add/divide correctly.  Personally I think its the former...I'm not saying his line will be right or anything, just sayin...

The game is in Boise and the Broncos do play good defense at home. Plus, Collin Caepernick and his gay roomate Lickincock have a history of throwing games.

The Vegas formula in action:

Tonight's NFL game is Tenn VS Houston,

using the formula above, the total came to 47'

The opening total on this game was 48, it is still at 48 at most books.

Yes, I know that this is an NFL game as opposed to an NCAA game, but this IS how Vegas does it.

Try it yourself using the information provided on Covers.
