College Betting News

The Miami Ohio RedHawks and the Temple Owls will fight on Wednesday at Lincoln Financial Field in a College Football Betting game televised on ESPN.

Last week’s BSN Sports news reminded us that it was ‘Now or Never’ for Miami Ohio and Northwestern – and both delivered the goods in a major way: the RedHawks routed Akron from the get-go while the Wildcats delivered a SU win as 17.5-point dogs at Nebraska.

In doing so, both kept their bowl hopes alive… though it will be much harder for the 4-5 ‘Hawks to hit the alleys as mediocre MAC teams can’t even get the free tickets they give away to a Ron Popeil infomercial audience, let alone a bowl invite.

While Miami Ohio will win the East should they run the table, we feel a soft schedule (lined opposition 23-48 SU) will finally catch up with them.

The Boise State Broncos and the UNLV Rebels will meet on Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium and the NCAA Football game is televised on VERSUS.

Well, it’s obvious by now that if Boise beats the Rebels by 100 points today, they’ll still trail in the BCS rankings should Oklahoma State, Stanford, LSU or Alabama manage a win.

So, with nothing to be gained by piling up the points – and hoping to avoid injury before next week’s big winner- take-all MWC showdown with TCU – Broncos’ head coach Chris Petersen may leave some of the artillery back at the armory for this duel in the desert.

Boise State has seen its share of big pointspreads but the opening line of 42 points is getting a little bit out there (BSU just 2-3 ATS last five laying 40 or more points).

However, this matchup can claim one of the day’s more unusual stat situations: the host in UNLV games is an astonishing 17-2 ATS under 2nd-year coach Bobby Hauck.

The Army Black Knights and the Air Force Falcons will fight today at Falcon Stadium, in a college football game televised on CBS.

With the nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 rushing attacks on display here, we’d love to pick a side and watch these two try to run the ball down each other’s throats.

However, the injury bug prevents us from giving this one more than a passing glance.

Both starting QB’s could be out for today’s game: Army’s Trent Steelman missed the last sports news game versus Fordham with an ankle injury while Air Force’s Tim Jefferson left the New Mexico game with a hamstring pull (their respective backups, the Cadets’ Max Jenkins and the Falcons’ Connor Dietz, combined to go just 2-for-3 for 39 yards in their absences).

Army has been strafed repeatedly in this series recently, going just 1-8 SUATS in the last nine skirmishes. They’ve also lost the game and the money five straight times.
