(NCAAF) Oregon vs. Boise State,
Point Spread: 8.00 | -115.00 Boise State (Home)
Result: Win
Taking BOISE. This was a spot I was looking at even before the Ducks lost their coach. But now that Taggert is heading to FSU, we will officially jump on Boise. Will even sprinkle in some ML +260 - We have Mountain West vs big brother PAC 12. This wasn't an old-school Boise team, but they won 10 games. Most times I am heading to the other team when I see the proverbial 'ranked' team catching points from an unranked opponent. But here we see a PAC 12 team favored over the smaller school. Even a down year 7 win Ducks team has more talent across the roster. I just look at this as a good spot to play on the dogs though. Where is the motivation for Oregon? Hey, we are in the Las Vegas Bowl! I think people forget that Chip Kelly left these guys with a 3 year reduction of scholarships. That just ended. This isn't 2014 with Mariota in the Rose Bowl for the Championship. Those were Chip's recruits. I think Helfrich did a crap job recruiting. They were 4-8 in his last year, and just 7-5 with Taggart this year. As good as this job is with everything Nike, this is not the spot to be playing on TD+ favorites. Give me the hungry dog looking to take down the big name. 4* Money Maker BOISE
