00:05Bill, like, I mean, Boise State,
00:06not one of those projected teams
00:08to get into the college football playoff.
00:11Also, UNLV, not one of those projected teams
00:13to even have a good year, but here we are.
00:15Both teams play tonight.
00:16Boise State minus three and a half,
00:19total 64 and a half, so this is probably
00:21a high-scoring game we would expect tonight
00:23in Las Vegas, but UNLV, not a pushover
00:27for the first time in a while.
00:29Well, these are two Mountain West Conference teams
00:30that average over 40 yards per game
00:32and two Mountain West Conference teams
00:34that average over 200 yards rushing,
00:36so we're probably going to have a fast game,
00:38if anything else, if both of these teams
00:40keep it on the ground.
00:41I think the game within the game
00:43is Ashton Gente, Heisman, front-runner,
00:46contender, whatever you want to call him,
00:489.9 yards per carry.
00:50It's absolutely phenomenal what he's able to do
00:52and you can load the box and it doesn't matter.
00:55On the other side, UNLV linebacker
00:57Jackson Woodard, keep an eye on him.
00:5993 tackles, three interceptions, four sacks,
01:03does a little bit of everything,
01:04really good football player,
01:06and this is the Mountain West Conference
01:08showcase game that Navy and Army
01:11and other Group of Five contenders
01:13are going to keep an eye on.
01:15I like the Broncos, though.
01:16I think that running game matters.
01:18Ashton Gente breaks free, their defense
01:20is pretty good.
01:21This will be a fun matchup.
01:22I got it at 31-27, so kind of right on that line,
01:26but I think Boise State pulls through on the road.
01:28You got to stay up late to watch it, though.
01:30Yeah, I was going to say this would be
01:32the first time a lot of people will see
01:34Boise State play all season long.
01:36I know it sounds insane, but that's really the truth
01:38and it's probably a great time to watch
01:40the game late night because Gente is projected
01:43tonight to go for 200 yards.
01:45Those are his projections, not high odds on those.
01:50I mean, these are insane.
01:51I mean, it's just academic that he goes for 100.
01:55You can't even bet this.
01:56It's minus 1,800.
01:58You really can't even bet him to go over 175 yards tonight.
02:02That's minus 172.
02:04I guess, Bill, what I would say is show me
02:06the other side of the props.
02:07Can I get plus 160 under 175?
02:11I mean, these are insane.
02:12I would almost take it the other way
02:14with the understanding that, yeah,
02:16he could pop off for 200.
02:17What he's doing, I don't think younger generation understands.
02:21I mean, he's flirting with Barry Sanders' record,
02:23and if you want to appreciate that,
02:25go look at Barry Sanders' game log from 1988.
02:28It is absurd.
02:30There are 300-yard games, four 300-yard games,
02:33and what Ashton Gente, he's not just another running back.
02:36He's very good after contact.
02:39He's very good against nine-man boxes.
02:42He breaks the big run.
02:43He is a complete running back and the key to this game,
02:46but like I said, watch the game within the game
02:49with Woodard.
02:50He's a very good linebacker.
02:51You know, he's decent against the run,
02:53so I'm wondering, I might take a stab on the under
02:57with the understanding that I might lose
02:59just because this guy could go for 250 easily.
