GMAC Bowl Betting Pick – Central Michigan vs. Troy

GMAC BowlCentral Michigan may be ranked, and they may be favored in the GMAC Bowl on Wednesday, but they won’t have their head coach and they will basically be playing a road game since the GMAC Bowl is in Mobile, Alabama. Head coach Butch Jones bolted for Cincinnati so the Chippewas will have to find a way to win without him on Wednesday they face Troy in the college football betting GMAC Bowl. It didn’t work very well for Cincinnati earlier this bowl season without their head coach Brian Kelly as they were routed by Florida.

Central Michigan is a 2.5 point favorite at SBG Global!

Central Michigan won the Mid-American Conference for the third time in four seasons. The averaged 32.6 points per game with Jones as head coach and they won the MAC title game over Ohio that got them into this game against Troy. When Brian Kelly left for Notre Dame, the Bearcats wanted Jones and he took the job. “We are very thankful for the contributions Butch Jones has made to our football program, our university and our community,” athletic director Dave Heeke said. “Any opportunity that arises for him is a reflection of the high-quality student-athletes and strong tradition that Central Michigan has enjoyed. We are excited to be a Top 25 program preparing for our fourth consecutive bowl game.”

Central Michigan will be led by associate coach Steve Stripling for the bowl game. “I’m very excited about the opportunity to lead this program,” Stripling said, “We want to make this a winning experience and have an enjoyable experience as well. This team has accomplished a lot already this season, and we are looking forward to achieving our goals of being bowl champions and finishing in the Top 25.”

Central Michigan still has quarterback Dan LeFevour for one more game though. He threw for 27 touchdowns this season to lead the Chippewas. His favorite target is Bryan Anderson who has caught at least one pass in an NCAA record 53 consecutive games.

Troy has an offense that is almost as good as Central Michigan’s. They averaged 33.1 points per game this college football betting season and more than 41 in their last six games. They have an excellent quarterback as well in Levi Brown who was second in the nation with 322.3 passing yards per game.

The Trojans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Trojans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. The Chippewas are 25-9-2 ATS in their last 36 games as a favorite.

Central Michigan is a 2.5 point favorite at SBG Global. Bet now!

NCAA Football Betting – The Match Up’s

Filed under: Articles, Betting Previews, NCAA Football — Tags: — Will Curl @ 11:28 am

Tonight the Boise State Broncos gallop southward to meet up with the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.  Ranked number 5 in the nation Boise State goes into this game undefeated at 8-0.  The Bulldogs are 3-5.  The Broncos are favored in this one by 21 points.  Enough said.

Ranked at #11 in the nation the Penn State Nittney Lions host the #15 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.  This one should be a dandy.  Both teams are 4-1 in the Big Ten and tied for second place.  Penn State is 8-1 on the season while the Buckeyes are 7-2.  Penn State won this match up last year 13-6.  Penn State is favored by 5 and are coming in at -110 on the money line. The Buckeyes will surprise in this one.

The LSU Tigers are off too Alabama to take on the Crimson Tide who are 8-0 and in first place in the Southeast as well as ranked #3 in the nation.  The Tigers are 2nd in the Southeast with a record of 7-1 and ranked number #9.  Alabama is favored by 7 1/2 points with a money line of -110.  This game presents another undefeated season up for grabs.  There will be terror in the trenches.

The Iowa Hawkeyes are 9-0 this season and in 1st place in the Big Ten.  They are ranked #8 in the nation and it looks like those Pittsburgh Steeler like uniforms are finally paying off some dividends.  The Northwestern Wildcats come into Iowa with a faint 5-4 record and minimal hopes for a victory.  The Hawkeyes are favored by 15 1/2 with a money line of -110.  Keep in mind that the Wildcats won last years encounter 22-17 but as we all know in sports it does not matter what you did last year.

The NCAA Football season is heating up and the battle for bowl placement is on.  Undefeated teams like Florida, Cincinnati, Alabama, Iowa, Texas  and Boise State must take care to keep a goose egg in the loss column.  Until we meet again may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

NCAA Basketball Betting lines Memphis vs UAB

The last NCAA team to beat Memphis was UAB more than 2 two years ago. The Tigers have won 54 league games since. The Tigers come into Thursday’s game ranked #5 having won 18 straight games. To keep that streak going they will have to beat a UAB team that hasn’t lost at home this season. “When we’re on the court, I’ve known and played against those guys,” UAB guard Robert Vaden said. “There’s going to be some bad blood. There’s going to be some trash talk and all that stuff. What game isn’t there?
Off the court, we’re all OK. On the court, there’s no friends between Memphis and UAB.” College basketball online odds have the public taking Memphis on the Road.

College Basketball Betting Preview
Memphis (24-3) at UAB (19-8)
Thursday, 9:00 pm Eastern – ESPN 2

UAB has won 26 of their last 27 home games with the only loss coming 79-78 last year against Memphis in a game in which UAB’s Lawrence Kinnard hit a shot at the end of the game that was ruled to have come just after the buzzer. Memphis came from behind in the last minute to win that game last season. The Blazers would definitely like a little revenge. “I don’t think there is bad blood between the two teams,” UAB coach Mike Davis said. “I think it is more of the fact we are trying to close the gap between Memphis and the rest of the league. And I think Memphis knows we are closing the gap. Until you win on a consistent basis you can’t close the gap.”

The NCAA matchup on Thursday pits UAB’s shooting against the defense of Memphis. Vaden leads the league in made 3-pointers for UAB but Memphis has a defense that shuts teams down. “We’re really excited,” Vaden said. “This is a chance for us to get a statement win. Everybody’s looking forward to this one, all our fans, everyone in the community. We’re going to come out and play our hardest and of course come out with a win.”

Here are the College Basketball betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Tigers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Tigers are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 Thursday games.

The Blazers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Thursday games. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between the two teams.

College Football GMAC Bowl Betting Preview

NCAA Football experts report that early College Football betting has the public taking Tulsa at Home.

Stan Parrish gets his first taste of being a head coach on Tuesday as Ball State faces Tulsa in the GMAC Bowl. Parrish was the Cardinals’ offensive coordinator until head coach Brady Hoke left for San Diego State. “Who would’ve thunk it?” said Parrish, “Brady (Hoke) leaves and I’m the head coach. It’s just unbelievable. The football gods make things work in strange ways, don’t they?”

College Football Schedule

Tulsa was able to win ten games this season and the success got head coach Todd Graham a new 10-year contract. The Golden Hurricane’s 10th victory was a 63-7 destruction of Bowling Green.  Tulsa is second in the country in total offense at 565 yards per game and second in scoring offense at 47.4 points per game.
Freshman receiver/return man Damaris Johnson led Conference USA with 2,201 all-purpose yards.

NCAA Sugar Bowl Betting Preview

Alabama was just a quarter away from playing in the BCS Title game but blew a 20-17 to Florida, losing the SEC Championship game last month 31-20. Now Alabama must get motivated to play an unbeaten Utah team in the Sugar Bowl on Friday.  Alabama has had a lot of success in the Sugar Bowl, going 8-4 all-time. The Crimson Tide has 31 bowl victories in their history and that leads the country. SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Alabama at Home.

Utah has also been very good in bowl games going 10-3 including wins in their last six. They won the 2005 Fiesta Bowl against Pittsburgh that completed an unbeaten season. The Utes have been even better this season, ranking 6th in the College Football betting BCS standings.

NCAA Sugar Bowl Schedule

Utah (12-0) vs. Alabama (12-1)
Friday, 8:15 pm Eastern – FOX

Sugar Bowl betting lines: Alabama – 10 , Total 44.5

Utah has the nation’s longest winning streak at 13 games but they are big betting underdogs against what is considered a superior Alabama team. The Crimson Tide averaged 31.2 points and 196.5 rushing yards per game this season but those numbers are likely to drop considering they will be missing left tackle, Andre Smith who is an All-American. Smith was suspended for violating team rules and will miss the game. His absence could be a problem considering running back Glen Coffee and quarterback John Parker Wilson need help to make plays. If Wilson gets time to throw he usually finds freshman Julio Jones who had 51 catches, 847 yards and four TDs thi season.

Sugar Bowl betting lines: Alabama – 9.5 , Total 44.5

Friday’s game could be a defensive struggle considering the Tide ranked third in the country, allowing 256.9 yards per game. Utah’s offense was 15th in the country in scoring at 37.4 points per game but they haven’t played a defense like Alabama’s. Utah’s defense was not that far behind Alabama’s, ranking 12th in the country in scoring defense at 17.3 points per game.

Utah and Alabama have never met in their history. Utah is 0-6 all-time against SEC teams.

NCAAF Alamo Bowl Betting Preview

Two Top 25 teams with potent offenses get together on Monday as 22nd ranked Northwestern faces 25th ranked Missouri.  Northwestern (9-4) vs. Missouri (9-3) Monday, 8:00 pm Eastern – ESPN.  The Tigers had what could be considered a disappointing season considering they expected to be playing in a BCS bowl game this season. Quarterback Chase Daniel and receiver Jeremy Maclin had good years but the Tigers defense was a sieve, giving up a ton of points. Missouri was ranked as high as #3 this season but lost four of their last eight games including the Big 12 title game to Oklahoma. “It’s going to sting for a while and why wouldn’t it?” Daniel said, “But we can finish off in style. When was the last time a Missouri team won 10 games back-to-back in history? Never. We still have a chance to make history.”

SBG Global College Football betting has the public taking Missouri at Home.

Northwestern enters the bowl game with a much better frame of mind. Nothing was expected of the Wildcats but they surprised everyone to finish 9-3, including winning their finale against Illinois 27-10. “To be at nine wins right now with an opportunity for number ten, the opportunity to achieve our main goal this year – to win a bowl game – is all right here in front of us,” said head coach Pat Fitzgerald. Northwestern has not won a bowl game since 1949. “I think, if anything, (the bowl drought) will provide a little extra motivation,” senior quarterback C.J. Bacher said. “At the beginning of the year we set out to win a bowl game and we’ve put ourselves in a position to do that.”

SBG Global Current Line: Missouri – 12.5, Total 66.5

Northwestern and Missouri are playing for the first time since 1987. The all-time series is tied at 4-4. Here are more College Football betting stats for Monday’s game. The Wildcats are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games.
