This thing has steamed down from 6 points to 3. Why stop now? I know 3 is a critical number but overall SU winners are divided something like 48% - 52% when the line is 3, basically the same as even money. If it drops any more, I will try the middle. I might try it anyway with the 3 but I think I'll wait for 2½ or less. I already bet with 6 the other way. Why not wait and see? That line has really tanked in a hurry and it may still be dropping.
Sure, what reason would anyone have for calling someone biased who states Boise will win by 14 without providing any analysis and has Boise rooting in his profile?
If you take away the injury and turnovers from last year's game, Oregon wins it easy. Look at the rushing stats on both sides of the ball and the first downs.
If Boise pulls off another cheap-shot concussion and forces turnovers again, yes they will probably win. But if Oregon plays an average game and hangs on to the ball, they not only cover, but they win outright.
Sorry dude I can't help it. Thats funny. Your analysis is akin to if Oregon scores more points than Boise St, they will win, Duh
Turnovers are THE most important variable having an 80% impact on determining who will win the game.
Win the TO battle and win 80% of the time.
They should do a Real Man of Genius commercial starring you and call it: Mr Ifwedontturntheballoverwewin.
Just messing with you... GL

Tennessee president is a Pac-10 fan

My guess is this will be red meat for some of you in the comment section.
Tennessee has an interim president named Jan Simek. Simek sat down with the editorial board with the Chattanooga Times Free Press. He talked about UCLA's win over Tennessee on Saturday. He talked about Volunteers coach Lane Kiffin's conduct and tendency to perhaps talk more than he should.
Then he said this:
"Lane comes from the Pac-10, which in many respects is the epitome of great academics and great athletics, as this past weekend showed on several different levels, including to us. When we lost to UCLA, we lost to a better academic institution, too."
Odds are that will go down smooth in Westwood. Not so much in Knoxville.
Seems to me Kiffin can now pass the foot to Simek for a bite.
