The latest Boise State-Georgia betting odds had The Broncos -3 point favorites across the board online while a few of the Vegas sportsbooks still had Boise State at -3.5.
The line on this game has moved between -3 and -3.5 throughout the week.
None of the opening matchups in college football have bigger implications than this one, noted Ryan Mercier of DonBest.com:
This is a tale of two completely different entities in almost every sense. Boise State went from one conference that gets zero respect in the WAC to one that gets just slightly more, the Mountain West. They have an experienced quarterback on Heisman watch who could break NCAA records in senior Kellen Moore and they use a no-huddle, shotgun offense which should play well Saturday on the fast track surface at the dome. The Broncos also have no player on their roster that was a 4-star recruit or higher.
As for Georgia, they come from the best conference in college football. The Southern Conference has won the last five BCS Championships. The Bulldogs have 26, 4-star recruits or higher in their 2-deep depth chart alone.
Since they are a part of the SEC, they could afford to lose this game and still theoretically be in the chase for a national title if they win the Southeastern Conference.
The Broncos are 4-0 Against The Spread in their last 4 neutral site games. They are 17-4 Against The Spread in their last 21 games on a neutral field. (that’s an 81 percent success rate)
The Broncos are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games in September.
The Broncos are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall.
In non-conference games, Boise State is 8-2 ATS over the last three seasons.
The Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog and 1-5 ATS when the line is +3 to -3.
