plays are posted at present #s and a few thoughts on what I think 'should' happen. I wanted to do extended writeups
202 UL Lafayette* +1½ -110 vs Nevada 110/100
201 Nevada/UL Lafayette* Over Over 61 -110 220/200
Seems like it would be hard for ULL to get up for this home bowl' game as this is their 4st st yr here but they always do The Cajuns have just 3 turnovs in the past 8 gms combined, and will run the football well with RBs McGuire and Harris who have 1,902 rush yds, 26 TDs. Both schools lost to Boise State this year, but Nevada fell 51-46, while ULL was trounced 34-9.With the two sr. QBs directing these opposing attacks, Louisiana was 23rd in the nation in rushing; Nevada 30th. Both defenses had their share of problems this yr and I expect both tms to score in the thirties....i'll call it 35-31 with the RagingCajus on top in what should be a decent game to watch
204 Utah State* -9 -130 vs UTEP 130/100
203 UTEP/Utah State* Under 46 -110 110/100
I hope I am seeing this game correctly as their is some doubt for me hereand simi reluctant to lay DDs vs a resurgent UTEP who Im sure is firedup to make a better showing in the New Mexico Bowl after getting hammered by BYU 52-24 in this same bowl back in 2010. And then to worry about the favored Aggies is the lack of excitement for having drawn UTEP ... an also-ran Conf USA program tied for the third-best record in its conference with no kind of recent classy pedigree to respect But I believe in my heart that UtahSt will play well and cover.As far as the total, UtahSt lives on its "D" holding 5 of its last 8 foes under 17 pts, but they did allow 50 pts & 498 yds at Boise.I believe this is close to a 28-14 game so even though I played this total early @ 49, I still like the under at present 46#
206 Colorado State* +3 -120 vs Utah 120/100
206 Colorado State* +120 vs Utah 100/120
205 Utah/Colorado State* Under 58 -110 110/100
I thought the wrong tm was favored on the open and hit the +4.5 and Under 59 and still believe the same thing but present #s a bit lower. Off coordinator Baldwin will be coaching this game for State with the 12th best offense in the land his and star QB Grayson with his 3,779 pass yds, 32 TD, 6 INT, whose top WR Higgins leads FBS with 1,640 receiving yards. Strength of sched favors the Utes big but CollSt has won me a bunch of coin this yr and I think their O can score on a good Utes D.
score maybe
207 Western Michigan* pk +100 vs Air Force 50/50
207 Western Michigan/Air Force* Over 57 -120 60/50
While I like to root for our Military Academies in bowl games I call this a tossup, side and total. I 'feel' Western Mich as they played well on the rd going 6-1 ATS away from home while Air Force was only 2-4 ATS on the road. If their O can play keep away from AF until their D gets the nack of defending AF's option style, then i like WMich by 3 with their RB Franklin who ran for 1,525 yards and scored24 rushing TDs and I dont believe AF can slow him down
209 South Alabama* -2½ -110 vs Bowling Green x2
209 South Alabama/Bowling Green* Under 54 -120 x1
This may not be the game to lay 2U on but I like this SoBama tm and I may be way off on my thinking on this one as SoAla does nothing particularly well, but do play a decent game of football and win so I can build a case for them. QB Bridge is healthy again after missing two games, including the team’s most lopsided defeat. While most teams would consider a bowl game at old Cramton Bowl a booby prize, this is like a home game for South Bama, a fledgling program, that will be pleased to be here.Big home crowd advantage as admission is free for USA students and the school has reserved more than 20 buses for the short drive from Mobile. This Under is strictly feel as bama has a decent D but BG's D had a bunch of holes in it down the stretch and I think they have time to shore some of those up by now. Score something like 28-21
