College Football Pick Of The Day – Boise State @ San Jose State – Who Covers The Spread
Friday, October 24th, 2008
The Boise State Broncos are back in action tonight against the San Jose Spartans and FiveStarPick.com is hot on another addition of Friday Night Lights. Las Vegas sportsbooks have Boise State listed as 7-point home favorites with the total set at 42.
The Broncos (6-0 SU, 3-2 ATS) are coming off a 20 point win against Hawaii last Friday as 24-point home favorites. The under in that game cashed for bettors. San Jose State (5-2 SU, 5-1 ATS) is atop this week’s WAC standings. The Spartans are 3-0 in conference play for the first time in 13 years.
The Broncos have always been known for their offensive prowess, but these days, it has been their defense that has been turning heads. The Broncos are second in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 10.5 PPG. The only game they have given up more than 7 points in was their 37-32 victory over Oregon.
Boise CB Brandyn Thompson was the defensive player of the game against the Hawaii Warriors. Thompson stole 3 interceptions, 2 of which led to 10 second-half points. Bronco QB Kellen Moore went 25-33 for 256 yards, 3 TDs and zero interceptions. For the season, Moore has a pass completion percentage of 72.4 and has thrown for a total of 1,591 yards with only a 13/3 touchdown-interception ratio.
San Jose State has won their last three games both straight up and against the spread. Last week they got it done by beating New Mexico State 31-14 as a 1.5-point road favorite. The Spartans’ defense sacked Chase Holbrook 6 times and forced 4 turnovers. They are 3-0 SU and 2-0 ATS at home this year.
So who covers the spread in today’s game? Why not let FiveStarPick.com help you with the answer? 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 on a Saturday morning and give them all a free play; 250 people will get Boise State -7 and 250 will get San Jose State +7. After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars on 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.
