This is the lowest total between these two teams in some time. I am leaning to the home dog but the over is the play here.

If you have seen BSU play this year, they are better defensively than they were last year.  Granted they have lost some people, but BSU is slowly turning into a "Football program" where you don't have to rebuild every couple of years, just install whoever is next and watch them turn into studs.

Not saying that the Over is a bad play, but Fresno will be lucky to put up 14 pts.

my 2 cents

Gl with your play

I love to wager on Boise majority of the time but the problem with this one I still like Fresno St
 
Probably lay off the sides for me on this one. My GT 1st half play sucked last night so i don't want to go through that again..
 
If I do touch this one I might just play the over....
 
Good luck to everyone

Fresno is not 
an intimidating place to play. 
Lay the pts.

I have gone back and forth on this game, but im buying the hook (.5 points) and taking Boise St. I can understand why some people are on Fresno St since the home dog covers on Friday nights, but Fresno lost a squeaker to Wisconsin. Wisky is not that good and as the Big 10 has already proved, they cannot cover a spread to save their lives. Fresno St is prone to turnovers and Boise St has an under rated defense. The books will either lose a ton or clean our clocks tonight since most of us are playing the smurfs. GLTA

The closest Fresno St. has come in the last 3 seasons was in 07 the score  Fresno 21 Boise 34. Fresno's QB has thrown 4 INTs in two games to Moore's 1. The only reason their scoring looks so good is because of beating UC Davis 51 to 0. Boise has only given up an average of 173 yards on defense so far and Fresno has given up 322.

I'll go with the Broncos -7 1/2.  I think it will be 35 to 17 Broncos

Either something is wrong with this total being a tad bit too low or I'm already high this afternoon but I'm going -- UNDER 53.5

The more l mull over it, the more I see something like a 31-17 or 31-20 Boise win.  I'm certainly going to take Boise -7.5, but I'll pass on the O/U line.

Tough one.  Public is all over Boise St so that would push me toward taking the home dog, but the hook is asking for more money on Fresno.  Confusion rains!  Going to watch the game secretly while having dinner with the wife and friends...cheer for the home team and POINTS!
 
Frenso =7.5 and over 531/2
 
Good luck!

I see a 35-24, 37-20, 38-19 type game.  The over is the play.  BS can score in the mid to high 30's easily. It's up to FS to contribute some points to the total.

Just a couple things from a guy who has played and coached college football.  When you break this game down their are certain factors being missed by bettors.  The line in this game should be approximately 10 for several reasons.

Most college offenses are built around the quarterback these days.  Fresno State has a freshman quarterback in his third college start.  The clear game plan for Fresno State will be to run the ball and shorten the game.  That is their best chance to win. 

Boise State is very talented on both sides of the ball and they have experience.  Boise State will look to get off fast knowing they can grind it out late if need be. 

Home field advantage really only helps when the home team is experienced.  With a 1st year starter at quarterback being at home doesn't help much.

I am taking Boise State -7.5 but will leave the total alone.  Boise could easily hold Fresno State to 14 points or less.  Boise will also cruise late if they up to limit chances of injuries.  They have the big picture in mind which is a bcs game.

Good luck to everybody this weekend.

HOW COME WHEN WE ALL LIKE ONE SIDE IT NEVER HAPPENS, ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR AND I DO THINK IT WILL CONTINUE. WITH THAT SAID, YEA, BOISE BEAT OREGON AT HOME. DID'NT LOOK THAT IMPRESSIVE TO ME?? AND IT MAY BE HARD COMING OUT OF FRESNO WITH A WIN.
A LET-DOWN GAME USUALLY MEANS ANOTHER LET-DOWN SO THAT SCARES ME ABOUT FRESNO, HOWEVER, WITH 7 AND A HOOK AND PROBABLY MORE BY GAME TIME, I'M ON FRESNO.

EVERYBODY SAYING HOW PLAYING WISC. AT HOME IS SOOOO EASY, I WOULD'NT TAKE BOISE AT WISKY, THEY PROBABLY LOSE, AND IF THEY SOMEHOW SQUEAK OUT A WIN THEY LOSE THE FOLLOWING WEEK DUE TO SORENESS. WISC. IS STILL WISC. AND BOISE IS STILL LITTLE ASS NO COMPETITION PLAYIN' BOISE, JUST BECAUSE THEY PLAY OREGON AND PLAY NO ONE ELSE AND BEAT NOBODY'S ON THEIR HOME TURF EVERYONE THINKS THEY ARE GREAT, LAST YEAR THEY WERE TOUGH, GOT UP FOR THEIR BOWL GAME. AND NOW THEY'RE THE GREATEST, IM NOT SOLD. THIS IS THE ONLY OTHER TOUGH GAME THEY PLAY.

You are right, Fresno played a tough game and probably are still sore,
BSU coasted, fine tuned, and rested starters due to short week.

gl with whatever you decide

My square money is on BSU

I will second that mcgrumpy.  Fresno +7.5 @home vs. Boise 2 nite.  I have not been real impressed with Boise thus far and they are away from their beloved "Smurf Turf" so I feel the Bulldogs can keep this one close but it won't be easy. 



FRESNO ST + 7.5

Do you even check things like this before you state them as fact?

Check out this thread from LY, or better yet, go back and look at the covers scoreboard.

Here are LY's results ATS for Fridays:

Road Fav's: 10-3 (exclude Friday after Thanksgiving and they're 7-1)

Road Dogs: 9-9 (exclude Friday after Thanksgiving and one Bowl game - they're 6-4)

Home Fav's: 9-9 (exclude Friday after Thanksgiving and one bowl game - they're 4-6)

Home Dogs: 3-10 (exclude Friday after Thanksgiving and they're 1-7)

Maybe you were thinking of Thursday night, when Home Dogs and Unders hit fairly well
