Maaco Las Vegas Bowl at Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas, NV

Arizona State vs. Boise State -14 total 66 at 5 p.m. PT ESPN

We have the logical play with 11-1 Boise playing 6-6 Arizona State but that loss at home to TCU sticks out as the Horn Frogs had their hands full last night when pulling out a late win against a WAC foe La Tech 31-24 and the Broncos only went 4-8 ATS but the Sun Devils weren’t much better as they were a putrid 3-7-1 ATS so we will just sit back and bet over the total as these two teams look to light up the scoreboard.

Bob Christ’s breakdown of Thursday Pro Football Week 16 December 22, 2011 6:50 AM by Bob Christ

PRO FOOTBALL THURSDAY, Dec. 22

Only a week ago, the matchup between the Texans and Colts in Indianapolis had the look of yet another Thursday night lock. It was going to be an opportunity to take a substantial underdog against a Houston squad starting a rookie QB – 24-year-old T.J. Yates.

As Lee Corso would say: Not so fast, my friend.

As mentioned in last week’s comments about the Thursday Jacksonville-at-Atlanta game, first-year QBs often are overmatched in games when they have only three-days’ preparation time, which was the predicament facing the Jaguars’ Blaine Gabbert vs. the Falcons. Jacksonville fell behind 41-0 before Atlanta lost interest.

However, with the point spread for Thursday night artificially low thanks to last week’s home loss by Houston to Carolina, and after Indy finally got its first victory, it might not be such a good idea to automatically go against the first-year QB.

Anyway, here’s a closer look at the game:

Houston (10-4) at Indianapolis (1-13)

Time: 5:20 p.m. PT

Line: Texans by 5.5 (40)

Facts: Since 2000, the aforementioned eight rookie QBs on extra-short rest have gone 1-7 (2-6 ATS) in Thursday games. The lone win came in 2009 when Mark Sanchez, who was 7-for-15 for 104 yards, and the Jets beat Buffalo 19-13. In those eight games, the rookies had a cumulative three TD throws and 12 INTs. Their teams scored a norm of 10.5 points. … The Texans’ defense, which has dropped to No. 2 this week, was without coordinator Wade Phillips in a 28-13 loss to Carolina (surgery) and probably will be so Thursday.

Analysis: A key reason Sanchez was able to win on short prep time when others failed was because he was shielded by a running game that finished tops in the league and totaled 249 yards vs. the Bills. Houston has the league’s second-best ground game this season and likely won’t have a minus-3 turnover differential again like it did against the Panthers. And besides, Indy already is 0-3 ATS vs. rookie QBs this year.

Forecast: Texans 28, Colts 20

Gonzaga had only one day of practice to get ready to face one of the most efficient “Princeton” style attacks in the country. I think Air Force will be able to control the pace of the game and keep Gonzaga from running up the lead. This could come down to the last minute and Free throws!

15 UNITS Missouri -7
Wish I would have jumped on this when the line opened, It was -3.5 now -7. I don’t think it should matter as I see Missouri winning this by double digits!!

15 UNITS UCSB/BYU-OVER 145
With these two fast paced and highly efficient offensive teams,this game should go over the number.
