Middle Tennessee State at Miami Ohio
Thursday 01/06 08:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Miami Ohio +1 (-110)

The Miami Ohio Redbirds were an unlikely Bowl candidate to start the season. They were coming off a disasterous 1-11 season and over their last 16 games they were !BAD!, going j...

Tuesday 01/04 08:20 PM Eastern
3 units on Ohio State -3 (-115)

Most that watched the Bowl games on New Year's Day would come away with the take that the SEC is light years ahead of the Big-10. Florida, Alabama and Mississippi State took...

Connecticut at Oklahoma
Saturday 01/01 08:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Connecticut +16 (-110)

01

TCU at Wisconsin
Saturday 01/01 05:00 PM Eastern
4 units on TCU -3 (-105)

TCU came within an eyelash of playing for a National Title. Will they lose their edge? Hardly. A Rose Bowl invite is enough to motivate any team, and especially an unbeaten one ...

01

Michigan at Mississippi State
Saturday 01/01 01:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Michigan +3.5 (-110)

There are some great dynamics working here. While the Michigan defense has been disappointing, the offense with a healthy Denard Robinson is a very tall task for any defense. Mi...

Saturday 01/01 01:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Game Total OVER 48 +100

The Outback Bowl will feature a pair of teams that finished what has to be considered disappointing 7-5 campaigns. Last year these teams had far more impressive runs. The Gators...

5 units on Northwestern +9 (-115)

I think the Northwestern Wildcats have an advantage when they make it to a Bowl game. Even without Dan Persa, I like the motivational spot here for Northwestern. The Wildcats sh...

Thursday 12/30 03:20 PM Eastern
3 units on Kansas State +1 (-110)

Syracuse used to be a Bowl mainstay but the program had recently done a belly-flop. Now the Orangemen appear to be heading back into a relevant program. The Cuse used a #5 ranke...

29

Illinois at Baylor
Wednesday 12/29 06:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Illinois +1.5 (-110)

The Fighting Illini won their games early to get here. That is a good thing as a 1-3 finish to their season left them at the cutoff point for a Bowl bid and they come into this ...

Tulsa at Hawaii
Friday 12/24 08:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

I realize this is a home game for the Warriors. But, the Golden Hurricane come into the Hawaii Bowl as one of the hottest non-BCS teams in the country. They have won their last ...

23

Navy at San Diego State
Thursday 12/23 08:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

This is a home game for the San Diego State Aztecs. But it is a homecoming game for the Naval Academy, as one of the largest naval bases in the country is in San Diego. So, it w...

Utah at Boise State
Wednesday 12/22 08:00 PM Eastern
5 units on Utah +17 (-110)

Saturday 11/27 12:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Purdue -3 (-115)

How bad is Indiana? They are 1-4 on the road this season, losing by 24 points per game on average. Not many teams have allowed 80 points in a game but the Hoosiers did just that...

Saturday 11/27 12:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Penn State +1.5 (-110)

2 units on Western Michigan -3 (-105)

The Kent State Golden Flashes bring a very good overall defense to the table, ranked #17 in fewest yards allowed on the season. Most of that is predicated upon a solid run-stop ...

Wednesday 11/17 06:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Akron +9.5 (-105)

Penn State at Ohio State
Saturday 11/13 03:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Ohio State -18 (-110)

Kudos to Joe Paterno as he notched win #400 last week. It is a good thing he got it last week, because Penn State is not winning here. For that matter, neither is anyone else. T...

Iowa State at Colorado
Saturday 11/13 01:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Colorado +2.5 (-110)

The Dan Hawkins era in Colorado is over. What affect will that have on this team? I think a good one. The Buffs were absolutely awful with him at the helm and I think a fresh st...

Troy at North Texas
Saturday 11/06 07:00 PM Eastern
3 units on North Texas +11.5 (-110)

Hawaii at Boise State
Saturday 11/06 03:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Boise State -21 (-110)

Many feel that Hawaii will give the Broncos a game here, but I'm not one of them. Yes, the Warriors put up 36 points on USC in their opener, but they gave up 49. Hawaii...

06

Baylor at Oklahoma State
Saturday 11/06 12:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Oklahoma State -7.5 (-110)

This line got a shove downward as soon as Baylor went to Texas and beat the Longhorns. The problem is that Texas is a far cry from their former selves. If Baylor went to, let...

Saturday 11/06 12:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Louisville +6 (-110)

03

Rutgers at South Florida
Wednesday 11/03 07:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Rutgers +10.5 (-110)

Fresno State at San Jose State
Saturday 10/23 08:00 PM Eastern
2 units on San Jose State +19.5 (-110)

Colorado State at Utah
Saturday 10/23 06:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Utah -30 (-110)

Washington State at Stanford
Saturday 10/23 05:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Stanford -34.5 (-110)

2 units on LSU +6 (-110)

Last year Auburn came into this game with the No. 8 ranked offense, while LSU was ranked No. 112. But even then, LSU held Auburn to 193 total yards, while generating 393 themsel...

Saturday 10/23 03:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Central Florida -21.5 (-110)

23

Wyoming at BYU
Saturday 10/23 02:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Wyoming +10.5 (-110)

The BYU Cougars' reputation is a bit inflated. Both of these teams come in with an identical 2-5 mark yet the Cougars are laying double-digits. It is asking a lot when you h...

23

Florida Atlantic at Arkansas State
Saturday 10/23 01:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Florida Atlantic +7.5 (-110)

Penn State at Minnesota
Saturday 10/23 12:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Minnesota +9.5 (-110)

2 units on UL Monroe +2.5 (-110)

Saturday 10/16 03:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Arkansas +3.5 (-110)

Cincinnati at Louisville
Friday 10/15 08:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Louisville +3 (-120)

Saturday 10/09 09:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Rice +9.5 (-110)
