The pros at FiveStarPick.com are back in action tonight coming off a much need night off. It is always good to take a breather after a stellar 9-0 against the spread run for our members. Tonight we are hot on the Boise State/Tulsa game aired on ESPN. Las Vegas sportsbooks opened the Broncos as 8-point favorites. Now most books have bumped the Broncos to 9 or 9.5.

Since taking over for Dan Hawkins, Chris Petersen picked up where Dan left off as the Broncos have won 40 of 44 games, compiling a 25-15 against the spread record. The Broncos opened the season with a 19-8 home win over Oregon, followed by a 48-0 crushing of Miami (OH.) as 40-point home favorites. BSU went on the road in Weeks 3 and 4, beating Fresno St. (51-34) and Bowling Green (49-14).

Tulsa (4-1 SU, 2-1-1 against the spread) is coming off a 27-10 win at Rice as a 17-point road favorite.  QB G.J. Kinne completed 21-of-32 passes for 251 yards and no interceptions. 

The Texas transfer has a competion percentage of 64.1% for 1,142 yards with a 10/2 touchdown-interception ratio.  Kinne struggled at Oklahoma in a 45-0 loss. He threw two interceptions against the Sooners and had just 106 passing yards.  Damaris Johnson is the Tulsa’s premier playmaker with a team-high 20 receptions for 369 yards and one TD. Johnson had 245 yards of total offense against Rice and returned a punt for a score in their win at Tulane.

Boise State sophomore QB Kellen Moore has been awesome in the spread offense completing 69.7 percent of his throws for 1,217 yards with a 13/2 TD-INT ratio.  He loves to throw the ball to Austin Pettis, who has 28 receptions for 378 yards and six touchdowns.  Jeremy Avery is carrying BSU’s rushing load, gaining 441 yards on 72 carries. He’s averaging 6.1 yards per carry with one touchdown.

Now let’s talk trends… Since 2003, Tulsa owns a 6-2 against the spread record as a home dog.  Boise St. is already 2-0 against the spread as a road favorite this year. The Broncos went 4-1 against the spread last year as road favorites.

Now let’s talk injuries…Tulsa’s free safety Charles Davis is out for the season (knee) and Boise State’s OT Tyler Holmes is out indefinately (broken leg).
