INDIANCOWBOY COMP
La Tech/Boise State Under 56.6
It's not like I'm overly thrilled with the under here, but it is my lean and consequently my comp pick today. This is a WAC Contest and features La Tech on the road at Boise State. The line originally opened up at -19.5 and has quickly jumped to -23 on this weeknight football game. The total originally opened up at 53 and has jumped up to 56. La Tech actually covered this game last year as they fell short by 14 points at home, were active dogs and the game went over the 53.5. Boise State has covered the -36.5 and -24.5 the previous years they have had this game at Boise. Note, both games at Boise went over as well. Kellen Moore has thrown for 5 td's and a pick while completing over 70% of his passes and Boise State currently sits at 18th in the country. Note, that the Bronco defense gave up just 7 points to Bowling Green and Idaho State at home. La Tech on the other hand didn't put up a point on the road at Kansas. People love Boise State and the over here by over margins of 66% and I know the total has taken a spike up. Regardless, it is tough to wager against Boise State at home - but this is a conference game and Boise State could be in for a let down where they don't play well in the first half. Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised to see an under here because it is conference play similar to yesterday and the public is well over 70% on the over. La Tech is a young team on the road so I don't see them necessarily plowing away the points, nor do I see Boise State letting too many points being scored at home. The under is 4-0 for the Bulldogs of La Tech after a bye week and the under is 4-1 for the Broncos in conference games. Lean and comp pick on the under today.
