I love watching Boise State.
I hate betting on Boise State.
They are too good to feel confident about betting against them in big games even though they are routinely at a talent and depth disadvantage.
That being said Friday's game against Michigan State is just too good to pass up. The Spartans are a -7 favorite, which according to Ohio Ice has recently moved up from 6.5. This is a total trap line in my opinion. Boise has lost of ton -- most of their front seven on defense, Kellen Moore and Doug Martin on offense.
Michigan State should have their way with Boise State to the tune of 34-17. That being said there will be late money on Boise because people have been burned by the Broncos in the past and the argument of giving Chris Petersen nine months to prep for one game usually works out in his favor.
Don't fall for it.
Period.

Ohio Ice's picks are sponsored by Bubble Up (because they have pa-Zazz for that Azz)
| Cardinals | 7 | Over | Cards can win 8 games in an easier conference if Kolb can be average |
| Falcons | 9 | Over | Tough division but this is the team that I think has the Texans breakout of last year. If they split with NO they can hit 10 |
| Ravens | 10 | Under | With Pitt and Cincy in conference its not hard to see a 9-7 especially with the way they play down to their competition out of division |
| Bills | 8 | Under | Not a 9-7 team considering NE should be them twice |
| Panthers | 7.5 | Over | I can see the Panthers at 8-8 if they can impove even slightly on D |
| Bears | 9.5 | Under | A 9-7 Bears wouldn’t be shocking with 4 games against GB and DET |
| Bengals | 8 | Under | Sophomore slump for Dalton They had a favorable schedule last year and his numbers waned as defenses figured him out |
| Browns | 5 | Under | This team sucks and they have to play 6 games against Bengals, Ravens, Steelers |
| Cowboys | 8.5 | Under | Tough call but Philly and NYG seem better bets |
| Broncos | 9 | Over | Just cant bet against Manning and an easy division |
| Lions | 9 | Under | I think they will go 9-7 but have to pick one or the other. Easier to see 8-8 than 10-6 |
| Packers | 12 | Over | No reason to think Pack cant win 13 |
| Texans | 10 | Over | Tough call 10-6 is about right so I'll go over in with 6 games against Titans, Colts, Jags |
| Colts | 5 | Under | Rookie QB and depleted roster |
| Jags | 5.5 | Over | They could win 6 even though they suck because all the other crappy teams are in their division |
| Chiefs | 8 | Under | All their weapons back but Eli Manning is in the house along with Phil Rivers |
| Dolphins | 7 | Under | Dolphins suck…and their division is strong see also Browns,Cleveland |
| Vikings | 6 | Under | If Bears, Lions, and Green Bay are strong then Vikings must not win many…see also Browns, Cleveland and Dolphins, Miami |
| Patriots | 12 | Over | No reason to think Brady and his newest cast of weapons cant win 13 (they won 14 last year withou Brandon Lloyd) |
| Saints | 10 | Under | Tough one as 10 is the right number to me. I say under and bet on a Falcons resurgence with all the distractions in New Orleans |
| Giants | 9 | Over | They are the Giants…they'll probably suck during the regular season and win 9 games…but I have to pick something! |
| Jets | 8.5 | Over | They can win 9 with a little Tebow magic |
| Raiders | 7 | Under | If you cant see the Oakland raiders at 6-10 then you havent seen the Oakland Raiders |
| Eagles | 10.5 | Over | This is another breakout team if Vick can stay healthy. 11 wins for the best team on paper is doable |
| Steelers | 10 | Over | Never bet against the Steelers in anything except a hot cheerleader competition |
| Chargers | 9 | Over | Denver and SD in a dog fight with KC and Oak sniffing jockstraps |
| 49ers | 10 | Over | Super easy conference with one of the best D in football. |
| Seahawks | 7 | Under | These guys kinda suck unless Matt Flynn is the real deal. They have holes all over the roster |
| Rams | 6 | Over | The Rams made some moves in the offseason, their conference is soft, and we have forgotten about last year. |
| Buccaneers | 6 | Under | They brought in some weapons but they have a very stiff schedule |
| Titans | 7 | Over | Easiest conference in football gifts them 8-8 or 9-7 like last year |
| Redskins | 6.5 | Under | They could win 7 but Dallas, NYG, and Philly are all better than them. They would be the best 6-10 team in the league…but it could happen |
