One of the first big games of the 2011 College Football season, Boise State vs. Georgia featured a spread of -3.5 that favored the visiting Broncos.
The last time these two teams met in 2005, Georgia destroyed Boise State by a score of 48-13. This is a different Boise State team, however.
Some interesting trends to consider before betting this game appear below.
The Broncos are 7-1 Against The Spread in their last 8 games in September.
The Broncos are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0.
In non-conference games over the past three seasons, Boise State is 8-2 ATS.
The Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog.
Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray offered accolades to Boise State’s quarterback Kellen Moore.
"He's consistent game in and game out," Murray said on Tuesday. "He does all the right things on and off the field, with the way he works and how responsible he is, the kind of leader he is. He's a tremendous leader. Those are all the things I'm striving to be myself. He definitely has a couple of years on me, but I hope when I'm in his situation -- going into my senior year -- I'll be in the same sort of spotlight that he is."
The matchup is being billed as The Champ vs. The Challenger.
"This will be good for Aaron," said Georgia defensive back Sanders Commings, one of those who'll be trying to stop Boise State's star. "Kellen Moore has all the hype coming into this game. He's the Heisman candidate. Aaron is a good quarterback, a good SEC quarterback, but people don't think he's Kellen Moore. This is a great opportunity for him to show he can be that guy."
