BYU* -6 -130 vs Boise State x1
Boise State/BYU* Under 61 -105 x2
BYU tuff D was opened up last wk by Houston but I feel the Mormans got a talking to this wk and was explained the error of they ways and will tighten up a bit tonite. Last wk Boise lost their starting QB and Hedrick will be making his 1st career start in hostile Provo. I give BYU a large advantage in rushing, small adv in passing and a Big HF adv. The BSU defense has played much better of late, allowing 329 ypg and 15.7 pg in their last 3 games. They may have to take the run a bit more seriously with Southwick not in there. Boise st entered last week's game vs Nevada having thrown for 290 ypg, while rushing for 188 ypg, but in the game, with Hendrick as their QB they passed for just 150 yards and ran for 407. Without Southwick this will be more of a running team. BYU has been a running team all year as 62% of their plays this year have been a running play. All that running, plus having two good defenses on the field should keep this game in the low 50's. All that said, I still look for a 7 to 9 pt game.
