College Football Monday

College Football Monday [B]209 Boise State +1[/B] Can this line get better than +1 with the Broncos? Boise State gets no respect after an undefeated season and returns 20 starters, more than any team in the country. They have a greater % of lettermen, returning experience and % of yards gained returning than any team as well. Boise beat Oregon and TCU and those two teams looked pretty good here in Week One. HC Chris Peterson has lost just 4 games in 4 years. Cannot believe we are getting the better QB plus pts now. Kellen Moore pitches and easy tosses the football, he's a sure fire NFL QB. Virginia Tech has a solid offense, but the defense has major holes. They return just 4 starters on DEF and must replace 3 of the 4 DL. Their top tackler LB Rivers has a torn quad, and 2 more LBs are on the injured list. In both full scrimmages this fall the offense has dominated the defense, apparently it has been very difficult to plug in bodies on the Front 7......see notes at HokieHaven.com VT known for it's special teams has a redshirt freshman at both PK and K. Yes, Boise is traveling across the planet to Fed Ex field and the Hokies have the HF advantage. However, Boise is still very quick on grass and has been practicing in a "man made sauna" to simulate humid conditions inside their sports complex. VT has gotten off to a slow start losing both opening games L2Y to East Carolina and Alabama. I don't see VT stopping the Boise train, too many weapons and always great play calling.
[QUOTE=Alf M;26639][B]209 Boise State +1[/B] Can this line get better than +1 with the Broncos? [/QUOTE] Indeed it can. After going back to pk at the time of your posting, I see +1' this morning. Was worried I'd missed this one!
Now seeing some +2s
Line closed VT -3 in spots here locally, a month a ago VT was +3.......sportsbooks got toasted on this TV game.

Actually, the books had an ENORMOUS win, HUGE game for the house A 1 point outcome would have stung, but VT +3 was only there in August and only for 1 minimal 1/3 of normal limit bets. I will guess all of Nevada wrote maybe 10-20k of vt+3 bets. ALL of the entire state!! And I bet they booked about $300,000 of VT +2.5, +2, +1.5, +1 and pk bet before the line settled in at VT -1 where it finally started producing balanced action. Not to mention anyone playin VT ML and 1h got shafted also....... ........I did have a +3.5 bet on VT.......for $250, the limit! Whoo hooo
I got Va Tech +3 in Nevada...and bought a half. your estimate there is low.
You seem to know a lot about Boise. How did they turn their program around from one of the worst to one of the best?
