Still-Undervalued UCF Has Huge Opportunity vs LSU
It had never felt so right to be wrong before. In late November, I was arguing that Central Florida wouldn’t really benefit from a College Football Playoff bid this season. McKenzie Milton, the Knights’ super-talented starting QB and emotional leader, suffered a scary leg injury against South Florida in a November rivalry game, and freshman backup Darriel Mack Jr. went only … [Read more...] about Still-Undervalued UCF Has Huge Opportunity vs LSU
Cincinnati is Favored Over Virginia Tech in Annapolis
Sportsbooks are fairly uniform in their lines for the upcoming Military Bowl in Annapolis. Cincinnati is less than a TD favorite to beat the Virginia Tech Hokies, but enjoys a consensus (-220) number on the moneyline. VT is a (+190) underdog. The conservative total (53.5) is perhaps a reflection of bookies (and the gambling public) handicapping the recent history of the … [Read more...] about Cincinnati is Favored Over Virginia Tech in Annapolis
Alabama vs Oklahoma Over/Under Line is Pushing 80 Points
A great team can be forgiven for coasting once in a while. For instance, Notre Dame mostly dominated through the latter half of a taxing schedule – but also squeaked by Pittsburgh 19-14, jogged through the 2nd half of a 44-22 result against Navy, and needed a late insurance TD to triumph by 7 over 5-7 Southern Cal in the season capper. No one is calling UND's 12-0 record a … [Read more...] about Alabama vs Oklahoma Over/Under Line is Pushing 80 Points
Underdog Gophers Dig a Hole Prior to Quick Lane Bowl
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. A rule-breaking incident involving several student-athletes may lead to a thinned-out roster for the Quick Lane Bowl in Motor City. Minnesota has not exactly thrilled fans in 2018 to begin with. The Gophers were blown out by such – ahem – powerhouses as Maryland, Nebraska and Illinois on their way … [Read more...] about Underdog Gophers Dig a Hole Prior to Quick Lane Bowl
First Responder Bowl: Handicapping Boise State vs Boston College
There hasn’t been much Vegas line movement on the Boston College vs Boise State scrum at Cotton Bowl Stadium on 12/26. In fact, the betting odds have been amazingly steady for more than a week. The Boise Blue are a (-3) favorite on the point spread. A middle-of-the-road O/U total (55) may reflect the Eagles’ failure to take over games on offense against worthy foes late in … [Read more...] about First Responder Bowl: Handicapping Boise State vs Boston College
Houston vs Army – Armed Forces Bowl Preview
This Saturday, Army looks to cap off their magical 10-2 season with an Armed Forces Bowl victory over the 8-4 Houston Cougars out of the American Athletic Conference. Saturday will be a very special day for the Black Knights. Although having a bowl reserved specifically for them each year, Army has always struggled to reach the 6-win mark. The program has played in just 7 … [Read more...] about Houston vs Army – Armed Forces Bowl Preview
New Mexico Bowl Gambling Preview: Utah State vs North Texas
The New Mexico Bowl has managed to steer clear of lopsided games in the current decade. Apart from Utah State’s 21-6 win over the UTEP Miners, no New Mexico Bowl since 2012 has been determined by more than a single touchdown. Yet as December 15th draws closer, there remains a fairly wide spread on USU and North Texas. In fact, the line on the New Mexico Bowl is the widest … [Read more...] about New Mexico Bowl Gambling Preview: Utah State vs North Texas
Herm Edwards’ ASU Sun Devils an Underdog in Las Vegas Bowl
Any bowl committee with rights to the MWC champion is no slouch, and therefore it feels like a major letdown that Fresno State is paired against a mid-tier contender like the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Las Vegas Bowl on December 15th. Especially given what high hurdles the Bulldogs overcame to beat-out Boise State for the crown. But live-event planners from Vegas know … [Read more...] about Herm Edwards’ ASU Sun Devils an Underdog in Las Vegas Bowl
