Well the bowl season has started and I went 2-1 this past week, current stats are below. So without further adieu, onto my best bets for the Tuesday and Wednesday bowl games.

 

2011-12 College BOWL Games up-to-date stats 

Best Bets 3-2 ATS

 

 

My first best bet in the bowls this week is tonight and it is WESTERN MICHIGAN (WMU) getting 3 points from Purdue in the LITTLE CAESARS BOWL. This should be a decent game as WMU has done well this year against BCS teams, beating Connecticut on the road, keeping it within 3 against Illinois and keeping Michigan scoreless in 2 quarters of their first game of the season in Michigan. WMU’s quarterback, Alex Carder, suffered a separated shoulder on November 16th but will play in this game and that is good news for the Broncos. Purdue had a so-so season this year going 6-6 and only won 2 out of their last 5 games. This is another case of who is happy to be here and who isn’t and there is no doubt in my mind that WMU is not only happy to be in a bowl but also happy to be close to home, and most likely will have the crowd on their side as Purdue failed to sellout any of their 7 home games. I will take the 3 points but WMU has a very good shot of winning this game outright.

My next best bet is also tonight in the BELK BOWL between NORTH CAROLINA STATE and Louisville, with Louisville getting 1½ points. If you have read my write-ups during the year you know that I am not a big Louisville fan and with that being said it shouldn’t surprise anyone that I am backing the Wolfpack in this game. NC State led all BCS teams this year with 24 ints and with the Cardinals having a very good but freshmen quarterback I think the NC State offense with senior quarterback, Glennon, will produce enough points to cover the small spread, this is also close to a home game for NC State. I will back the Wolfpack here and lay the 1½ points.

 

 

My last best bet for today is on Wednesday and is the OVER 70 in the MILITARY BOWL between Air Force and Toledo. Both of these teams can score points, Toledo averages around 42 and Air Force around 35, and combined they give up 57 defensively. I think both teams will come out smoking and with the weather clearing for tomorrow in DC it should be a definite advantage for both offenses. Bet the over in this game as it will go over sometime in the fourth quarter, maybe even sooner.

 

 

These are my picks for Tuesday and Wednesday. I will be back on Thursday with my best bets for the Thursday, Friday and Saturday bowls.

 

 

As always, remember to bet with your head and not over it.    :)
