I really like Boise State in this game vs LA Tech...this is a shitload of points no doubt but I look for a very big performance tonight from Boise...this team is still sitting on the outside looking in and I don't think this team can climb into the number 1 or number 2 spot in the country unless they continue to win big...K.Moore is a stud and the Bronco offense is clicking on all cylinders...a little rain in the forecast could help slow down this offense but I don't think so...this is a very good defensive team as well and I think they can shut down the offense of LA Tech...Boise is a blowout
The Trailblazers already have residual injury issues to deal with as Greg Oden and Joel Pryzbilla won't be in action. Rich Cho is the new coach for the Blazers and has surprisingly replaced Kevin Prichard, who did a good job a year ago. Even with all of the injuries the Blazers had to deal with, they still won 50 games. The Blazers have additional issues with Rudy Fernandez already being fined, and has made some derogatory comments about the Portland front office and wants out. That is not the best way to start a season. The Suns won 54 games a year ago and no longer have Amare Stoudemire. But as long as Steve Nash is in uniform, the Suns will be very competitive as he makes everyone around him better. Under Alvin Gentry, the Suns are 76-51 ATS including 58-38 ATS last season. There are too many negative issues in Portland and a new system to be laying this many to a competent Phoenix team. Phoenix has a chance to win this, but I think they at least keep it close.

TUESDAY'S ACTION
15 Dime NBA winner on the ROCKETS as a road undeadog at the Lakers in opening night action on the hardwood. Houston is catching between 7 and 7 ½ points depending on where you do businhess. As always, shop around and get the best number possible, especially when the odds are in this 7- to 7½-point range, as teams that are trailing tend to stop fouling in the waning seconds when the defdcit is more than two possessions.
