A Few More Bowl Trends

Just a few things to consider when you have these awful bowl games coming up. If you are a degenerate like me, at least it provides some entertainment.

1 - Play underdogs who are getting more than a TD in December bowls. (60-31-3 since 1983 - 66%)
Plays right now:
Louisiana Tech +10
Arizona State +14
Washington +9
Iowa +13-
Northwestern +10
These are close - Wake Forest +7 and Wyoming +7

2 - Play underdogs with higher Sagarin strength-of-schedule ratings than their opponents. (78-45-3 since 1997 - 63%)
Plays right now:
Wyoming +7
Marshall +4
Louisiana Tech +10
Arizona State +14
Louisville +2.5
Notre Dame +3
Tulsa +2.5
Iowa State +1.5
Utah +3
UCLA +2.5
Penn State +5.5
Nebraska +2
Kansas State +8
Northern Illinois +1
LSU +1

3 - Play under the total in any January bowl game with a total above 50 where one team is favored by 3.5 or more. (40-18-3 since 1995 - 68%)

Penn State-Houston under 57
Georgia-Michigan State under 50.5
Oregon-Wisconsin under 71.5
Stanford-Oklahoma State under 74.5
Clemson-West Virginia under 60.5
Arkansas-Kansas State under 63

Happy Bowling!!
