The low point spread in the Academy Sports & Outdoors Texas Bowl is surprisingly low when you take strength of conference into consideration. SEC college football teams are much more powerful than Big 12 teams. Even Okie State coach Mike Gundy says TAMU is the best 7-5 team in college football bowl history! I think you know which way we’re betting this one!
College Football Picks
Las Vegas Bowl Picks: Boise State Broncos vs. Washington Huskies
How is it that when we think of the Huskies and Broncos we envision Chris Peterson coaching both teams? To be completely candid, this game is super wonky and probably should be avoided unless you’re a degenerate gambler that absolutely has to have action on it! Nonetheless, Loot gives his take on who he thinks will cover the Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl point spread.
Frisco Bowl Pick: Kent State vs. Utah State
When figuring out who to bet on smaller college football teams in smaller conferences, strength of opponents becomes a major variable. With the MAC being the weakest conference in the FBS, the Utah State Aggies kind of become attractive laying -7.5.
New Mexico Bowl Pick: Central Michigan vs. San Diego State
Chippewas coach Jim McElwain has done a nice job turning the Central Michigan program around from a 1-11 season, however, he’ll be up against it in the New Mexico Bowl against the stingy run defense of Rocky Long’s San Diego State Aztecs. This game is likely to be light on fireworks but packs some good punch with regards to betting value as we believe San Diego St. will cash out another ticket here.
Bahamas Bowl Pick: Buffalo Bulls vs. Charlotte 49ers
In the first bowl of the college football season we have too hot clubs battling out in the 2019 Bahamas Bowl at Thomas Robinson Stadium in Naussau. The Bulls are four points away from being on a seven game unbeaten streak and Charlotte comes in riding a five game run of their own. Get our handicapper’s college bowl pick.
Army Black Knights vs. Navy Midshipmen Pick 12/14/19
Navy has by far the better record this season both straight up and against the spread, but when these two teams play you can normally throw out the season’s stats. Army has dominated the ticket cashing going 4-0-1 ATS in the L5 meetings. That said the UNDER has been the biggest trend going 14-2 in the L16.
AAC Title Pick: Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Memphis Tigers
These two teams met just last Friday with Memphis getting the 34 to 24 win but Cincinnati +13.5 getting the money. This time around the line is a lowered to Memphis just a -9.5 favorite. Read on to get our handicapper’s take and free point spread pick.
ACC Title: Virginia vs. Clemson Pick 12/7/19
Can anyone stop the Clemson Tigers? Their defensive allowance of 10.1 points per game is shrewd to say the least. Putting it mildly, all of the Cavalier’s strengths play into the strengths of Clemson. Virginia has had a nice season at 9-3 but the parade is likely to stop here in the ACC Championship game.
Big 12 Title: Baylor Bears vs. Oklahoma Sooners
It’s always a red flag when the public is betting a college football underdog to the tune of 75%, which is the case as these two 11-1 teams play for the Big 12 Championship. Bettors are obviously remembering when the Baylor Bears where up four scores on the Sooners, only to blow the fat lead and lose. To astute handicappers, the comeback shows the dominance Jalen Hurts and Co. can command when full effort is exercised.
MWC Title: Hawaii Rainbow Warriors vs. Boise State Broncos Pick
The Boise State Broncos get a huge boost with the Mountain West Title Game taking place on their home turf. Nick Rolovich has done a heck of a job turning the Hawaii college football program around, but it’ll be a tall task to go into Albertson’s Stadium and steal a win, much less a cover.
