Seems low to me. Boise was laying nearly 35 last year to Idaho, when the spuds were better, and covered it. Game was at Boise, but considering idaho got severely whacked at least the last 2 weeks, with one of those beatings at home just this last Saturday by Nevada, who imho isn't nearly as good as Boise, I can't imagine too many people not seeing Boise doing the same (actually more) to them. Especially using the "Hawaii blew out Idaho and Boise blew out Hawaii so definitely Boise has to blow out Idaho" analogy that so many seem to use.
Then again, how big of a home dog can they actually make the spuds?
Does this in state "rivalry" really matter when the teams aren't even close to being on the same level?
Does having Fresno St on deck count as a look ahead spot for Boise?
Beats me, but if you ask me you'd need to give Idaho nearly 50 here to get anything resembling even public action, and the 35 looks very soft.
IDAHO is garbage defensively and i couldn't believe the line was only -11.5 UNR last saturday....probably one of the easiest plays of the day. They are in the bottom 15 in total defense and give up over 5YPC/game. UNR went up and down the field on them like it was 11 on zero averaging 9.3 YPP.
There is no love lost incidentally between these teams/coaches so don't look for an "in state freebie" when it comes to Boise taking the pedal off the gas. This is pretty much a name the score game and if you're worried about getting back doored, i would play the 1st Half. I had Boise 1H last saturday versus Hawaii fearing a back door cover and will probably lay the wood in the 1H here.....35-7 half time or something there abouts IMO. Idaho is ranked 116 out of 120 schools rushing to boot.
I agree with Stiflermoms, you would have to put this line like +50 to get anyone to seriously take a look at Idaho........actually you can get +50 with top notch's...........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nevermind.
