So we finally broke the seal, getting our first W for the bowl season. TCU was clearly the better team, as they dominated the second half, but the first half allowed Tech to be in the game and gain confidence. No matter the reason, a win is a win and now it's time to find another one. The next game up is the Maaco Las Vegas Bowl with Boise State taking on Arizona State. The line on this game has Boise favored by 14 points, which feels right. The Broncos are the better team and better coached. My only concern is the ASU quarterback, Brock Osweiler, who is capable of catching fire and putting points up in a hurry. However, I think the Broncos defense will get enough stops while Kellen Moore leads Boise to score after score. In case you are worried about Boise being unfocused after being left out of the BCS, keep in mind the same thing happened last year and they came to Vegas and smoked Utah 26 to 3. This will also be the Broncos third trip to Las Vegas in the last 12 months, so I don't expect them to be distracted by the sins of our fine city. If anything, the coaching changes at ASU could lead the Sun Devils to be a bit distracted and unfocused while in town. Add it all up and I'll lay the big chalk like a square. I also lean toward OVER 66, but won't be personally be playing it. Good luck, and remember, never bet what you can't afford to lose.
2011-2012 Bowl Record, 1-4
