i agree with alot of you in this forum about boise st.
The ONLY thing that is tugging at me is that the opening line opened up at 5.5

Why was the line so low if it a team like boise st(as hot as they are Especially ATS) is going up against BYU ( a struggling team this season)? I know that it moved up because EVERYONE and their grandma is pounding this S**T out of boise st. But why would oddmakers open it so low? Any ideas?

Boise State is dynamite on the home blue but less likely to beat the spread on away green.

BYU has shown good recent play.

The 5.5 opening number is a good one.

I like the fact that it is a TV game and this will juice BS up to play more like they do on their home field. I see the average is BS by 8 if they played 10 times in this situation. I like BS in the first half as I think their offense is more likely to be hot straight out of the box.

BYU could still win the game or beat the spread.

As usual, turnovers and penalty calls will have a big influence.
