| Dec 2nd, 2009 While most people in the sports
betting community will be focused on their Florida Alabama picks this weekend,
there are plenty of other games with BCS implications.
New Mexico State Aggies @ Boise State Broncos
Sportsbook
Odds: Boise State -47.5
The Boise State Broncos are the fifth-best team in the nation and they need to
keep winning in emphatic fashion to make sure that they do get into a BCS bowl.
On Saturday, they shouldn’t have any problems with that as the New Mexico State
Aggies come to visit.
The Broncos are always dominant on their smurf turf
but this should be a destruction of epic proportions. The Aggies
haven’t topped 21 points in any contest this year and has scored a total of 46
points in their last six games combined. Meanwhile, Boise
State hasn’t scored less than 44
points in any of their last six games.
As the tale of the tape shows, this will be a very one-sided game. The Broncos
have plenty of weapons and they have plenty of motivation. For the Aggies, they have lost six straight games are really have
nothing to play for.
As you should expect, this game will be extremely one-sided. Lay the points
with the Broncos - as crazy as that sounds.
Picks: Boise State
-47.5
Arizona Wildcats @ USC
Trojans
College Football Lines: USC -7.5
The USC Trojans don’t usually lose at home. In the Pete Carroll era, the
Trojans have lost just twice at home and both losses came to the Stanford
Cardinal. Clearly, the Wildcats task is going to be a difficult one this
weekend.
Two weeks ago, Arizona was
considered a Rose Bowl contender. When Oregon
was visiting, they actually controlled their own destiny a couple of weeks back
but now the Wildcats are just another mediocre Pac 10 team.
The Wildcats did squeak by over their rivals Arizona
State but if you look at this teams
body of work, which has produced seven wins and four losses, it quickly becomes
evident that they’ll have a tough time at USC this weekend.
The Trojans have their swagger back after a bye week and after a dismantling of
rival UCLA. This game won’t be pretty as the defenses will dominate but Arizona
just won’t score enough points to win.
Pick: USC -7.5
