2010 Fiesta Bowl Preview

4 TCU vs 6 Boise State
Favorite: TCU, -7.5
So here we are, in the college football postseason, and instead of being in a playoff, the #1 scoring offense in the nation takes on the #1 defense in an essentially meaningless game. Lets behonest here, no one will confuse TCU with an offensive powerhouse, and they don't need to be one. Boise State scored the more points per game than anybody else, and TCU is right behind them. All the talk has been on their defense, but the Horned Frogs have put up 40.7 points per game, good for a third-place tie with Texas. Boise hasn't played a defense as tough as TCU's, and that will make the difference. Last year, when these teams met in the Poinsettia Bowl, TCU won, 17-16. This year, they have a better offense, and that should make for a higher score.
Pick: TCU 38 - Boise State 24
