I am always angling for an UNDER as i scan the bowl landscape, and I'm happy to report I saw no good angle in any of the first three bowl games.
But tonight, against conventional logic, I do.
I think Boise is the better team, but more than 17 points better in a bowl game that is a slap in the face to them? I'm not convinced of that.
What I am convinced of is that Jordan Wynn gave the Utes a quick-strike capability that they really lack with Terrance Cain at QB. Cain's upside, and what Wynn lacks, is the ability to scramble and create some yards with his feet. While his scrambling may have paid dividends against South Dakota and San Jose State, it won't amount to much against Boise, but it will keep the clock moving.
On the other side of the ball, maybe Kellen Moore and Co will want to prove something, but I sort of doubt it. They know as well as we do that beating Utah, even crushing Utah, is not really a statement that adds up to much. TCU already crushed them, and they already have the bowl spot Boise wanted.
It should be noted, that even that TCU game, which was a blowout of epic proportions went under this total. Utah has lost twice, and in those two games, they averaged 5 points.
I would not be surprised if 80% of bettors have taken the OVER in this game, and yet this line has moved down 2.5 points. That's because there is some BIG money on the under, and I think it's the smart money.
BOISE/UTAH UNDER 58 LARGE
BOSIE/UTAH UNDER 30 1H LARGE
Good luck all.
