This is an 8* TOP TOTAL on the UNDER between Wyoming and Boise State.

We don't subscribe to any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions, are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

Desperation leads to tough defensive play: The Broncos are 16-9 this season but have lost four of their last five games. Note that Boise State allows an average of 72.2 PPG and is 11-2 at home this year. We fully expect the home side to buckle down on the defensive end of the floor tonight as it looks to break out of its slide.

Poor offensive play: The Cowboys are averaging just 69.3 PPG while allowing 70.3.

ATS statistics: Note that Wyoming has seen the total go UNDER the number in six of nine road games this year and in six of ten when playing the role of underdog, while Boise State has seen the total dip below the posted number in seven of ten this season after scoring 80 points or more and in seven of ten when the total in the game is set between 140 and 149.5.

The bottom line: When taking into account all of the above factors, all signs do indeed point to the UNDER as the savvy move in this contest.
