Nothing says Christmas Week like "we're going to Vegas".
Boise State v Arizona State
The Las Vegas Bowl
Thursday, same time, same station
I think that this game will be very entertaining. It's an odd sort of a match up, with Boise State sporting an 11-1 record, while Arizona State comes in with a pretty unimpressive 6-6. Despite the apparent inequality, the Broncos are only 14 point favorites. One of the reasons for the slim margin is betrayed by Boise's 0-6 ATS record in the second half of the season, 4-8 overall.
AZ State is no prom queen, either, ATS speaking. They dropped their last four when the points are factored in.
The story of this one for me is all Broncos. They have shown a tendency to be a lesser team when they're not on their famous blue field, and they're perenially the media proclaimed victims of a BCS format that discriminates against them, but this year they fell pretty far in the esteem of the slatemakers to draw the Vegas Bowl assignment.
All in, with a fast turf track and chip on their shoulders, they're likely to have enough to break their ATS losing streak for this one.
UPDATE I
We learned long ago not to count your money while you're sitting at the table, thank you Professor Kenny Rogers. So we're not going to count this one yet, but Boise is rolling, thanks to AZ State miscues. So far the blue team has 2 defensive TD's in the second half, and they lead 49-17 with 13+ minutes left. Go Blue!
UPDATE II
Boise State ruined AZ State Coach Dennis Erickson's sayonara game. AZ State game 'em plenty of help. Fumbles, INT's, and more stupid penalties than I've seen in ages were the calling card for AZ State. The final was 56-24, a big win for us!

THE LAST GAME VIA A STUPID TEXT NO LESS. HE WAS BOUND FOR PENN TO MAKE IT TO HIS MOTHERS FUNERAL ON TIME.CAN YOU SPOT ANY OF THE CLUES
THAT DR.OF PHILOSOPHY IS IN TOWN?
I solved the case, elementary, Mr GunN.
The clue that was most vital, the clue that gave me the insight, the clue that was like a pass key to opening the mystery, unlocking the cognitive and discerning powers of my mind, stoking my raging inquisitive nature, that clue paramount in my discovery was...Ginger said he saw all of you at the hot dog stand.
YOUR LAST PFOS COMMENT 4 WAS A LITERARY MASTERPIECE YOU CREATED A MONUMENT TO INTELLECT
ALTHOUGH IT DID SOUND AS IF YOU JUST LEFT THE CINEMA VIEWING OF
SHERLOCK HOLMES 2
UNFORTUNATELY MY DEAR WATSON YOU,RE
INCORRECT. THE CLUES REMAIN TOTALLY VISIBLE IN COMMENT 3
A-ha! Found it!
In comment 3, the verb form "is" was properly matched with "slime", which some might have mistakenly interpreted to be a plural and thereby said "slime are", rather than "slime is". A person of lesser letters would have easily overlooked that, hence the implication of the presence of one Dr. Cushion.
But the hot dog stand was the real give away.
