Poinsettia Bowl Picks – TCU vs. Boise State – Who Covers The Spread
FiveStarPick.com is looking forward to winning another bowl game tonight as we give our members the winner of the Poinsettia Bowl featuring the No. 9 Broncos of Boise State and No. 11 Horned Frogs of TCU at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California. Las Vegas sports books list TCU as 2.5-point favorites with the total set at 46.
After winning the best College Football Bowl Game ever, the Mustangs can no longer fly under the radar. The trick-play filled Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma to cap off an undefeated season will go down in history as legend and replays will be on ESPN forever. Unfortunately for the Broncos, Utah also went 12-0 during the year to garner the automatic bid for the “mid-major” conference to a BCS bowl this season.
Boise State currently averages 456.8 yards per game on offense this year, 13th in the nation overall. The defenses they have faced, however, are another story. These defenses average around 71st in the nation. Regardless, Boise State’s talent is deep, especially in the backfield. Ian Johnson led the offense with 738 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Tandem RB Jeremy Avery gained 613 yards on the ground and reached the endzone 4 times. Take into account the poise of Bronco QB Kellen Moore under center along with 9 receivers having with at least 10 catches in 2008 and you got yourself an offense. Moore’s favorite target is Junior WR Jeremy Childs who caught 65 passes for 741 yards and 7 touchdowns this season.
The Horned Frogs of TCU have one of the nation’s best defenses. TCU is second only to Southern California in scoring defense (10.9 points per game) and overall defense (215.1 YPG). Texas Christian has only allowed 48.7 YPG on the ground and has an average of 7.8 tackles for a loss in each game.
But this team isn’t all defense, the offense is averaging 417.1 YPG. The rushing tandem of Aaron Brown and Joseph Turner has helped Texas Christian gain 215.7 YPG on the ground this season. In the air, QB Andy Dalton has completed 58.8 percent of his passes this year for 2,045 yards. Dalton was able to keep his mistakes to a minimum as his TD-to-INT was only 11:4. Dalton’s top receiver has been Jimmy Young, grabbing 54 passes for 926 yards and five scores.
So who covers the spread in tonight’s game? FiveStarPick.com is here to help. Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner. Here is a bit of advice…NOTHING is guaranteed when you are betting on sports. These so called “handicappers” call 500 people a day and give them all a free play; 250 people will get the TCU -2.5 and 250 will get the Boise State +2.5. After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars to their credit cards for more guaranteed winners. We are not your typical sports handicapping service. We care about our members and we live and die on every play. Why? Because we are moving thousands of dollars of our own money on the same plays we give you. Gambling on sports is how we make our living. Do we win every play? Absolutely not and we will never pretend to. Our plays are always posted for all to see, including our losing streaks. But by the end of the year we always seem to have a few hundred thousand dollars of the sportsbook’s money in our casino account. Let us try and do the same for you. Join our family of winners today and start your winning streak tonight.
