OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a sports betting pick Saturday is on Boise State (-3.5) to Georgia.
Reasoning: There are certainly factors going against the Broncos here but I just can’t fully pass up what has been the much team of late and what potentially could once again be the much better team. The SEC is great and normally wins out of conference games such as this one but Boise State has been a top 5-10 program of late unlike Georgia which has been regressing a ton recently.
The Dawgs pretty much have the home field advantage today in the Georgia Dome and are up against a team that lost its wide receivers in Austin Pettis and Titus Young and just yesterday had three players ruled ineligible including a receiver who was supposed to be in the midst of a breakout season. By the way all three of those players who did not travel were from the football hotbed of the Netherlands, pretty funny, huh. The Bulldogs are also the dreaded road chalk today all the way across the country and up against an SEC squad, which is never the greatest deal. UGA also clearly boasts the much better kicking game, which may very well be the best in the entire country.
With all of the above said Mark Richt’s team has been awful over the past two seasons including things getting capped off in the bowl last year somehow losing to Central Florida. They also lost a ton of talent including all world receiver AJ Green and are extremely young this season. Therefore, even with a potential star quarterback in Aaron Murray I just do not see how this team can all of a sudden rise back up to prominence. Yes the Bulldogs had a great draft class with the so-called “dream team” that includes a possible great running back in Isaiah Crowell. But until these young guys actually show they are ready I’m not fully buying into Georgia being back and at a small field goal against a perennial top 5 team is a bit cheap.
Boise is far from a fluke as Chris Petersen has legitimately made this program into an elite school. They may be a little down this season after losing some wideouts but I don’t see them nearly as down as the Dawgs still may be. Things should not be easy today down south for the visitors from the blue turf but the Broncos are the superior squad that should be able to take of business in the end.
The pick: Boise State from the REAL Matt RiversComment

Triple Threat Sports
3* San Jose State (+) over Stanford
San Jose State is a much improved team over the one that had just one win a year ago. First things first, they have the full complement of 85 scholarship players for the first time in ages, and that should really help as the season wears on - having healthy players! So, it is notable then that last year (when still early and thus they were healthy) they played Wisconsin tooth and nail in Camp Randall, losing by just 13 as 39' point dogs. This Spartans edition is much better than that one, with a vastly improved defense, four returning starters at the offensive skill positions, and a QB in Faulkner that has led his JC team to a national title and played fairly well in limited action for the Spartans last season. As for Stanford, yes they have Andrew Luck back, but he is really the only major player that returns from last year, and overall the Cardinal rates a -5.0 on our Off Season Plus/Minus scale...a very significant number talent wise, and note also that they have a new Head Coach, not the dynamic Harbaugh anymore. Series history shows that SJSU takes this game very seriously against "the rich uncle" of the region, as they are 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Stanford should win this game, but we see it coming by 14-21 points, so we will go with the big underdog hereComment
