Top Games to Bet On<\/strong><\/h3>\nBBVA Compass Bowl: Houston Cougars vs. Vanderbilt Commodores (January 4, 1:00 PM ET)<\/h3>\n
The Cougars zoomed right out of the gate opening the season with a 5-0 SU record. Through eight games, the team was 7-1 SU, with the only loss coming from a close 47-46 defeat at the hands of BYU. As November rolled by, Houston found itself falling back to earth, going just 1-4 SU in that month. The Cougars prevented going winless in November by ending their regular season with a 34-0 drubbing of SMU.<\/p>\n
Houston relies on its terrific defense that produced a 13th<\/sup> ranked scoring mark (20.2 PPG allowed). The Cougars have a great secondary duo of Adrian McDonald and Zachary McMillian who had five and four interceptions, respectively, during the regular season. Houston is among the best spread coverers in the nation as evidenced by a 10-2 ATS record overall.\u00a0[sc:NCAA240banner ]<\/p>\nOdds: Cougars (+3) vs. Commodores (-3), O\/U: 54.0<\/a><\/p>\nPlaying in the postseason used to be a wild, elusive dream for the Commodores, but here they are appearing in their third straight bowl game. Vanderbilt is not just happy to be in a bowl game as it plans to win its fifth straight in the BBVA Compass Bowl.<\/p>\n
But the Commodores will have to accomplish that feat without starting QB Austyn Carta-Samuels (knee). Starting in his relief is freshman Patton Robinette, who will still have Jordan Matthews as a primary target. Matthews is one of the best WRs in college football, even leading the tough SEC in yards per game with 111.2 while being second in total receiving yards with 1,394. Vanderbilt is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in its last four games overall.<\/p>\n
NCAAF<\/h3>\nGoDaddy Bowl: Arkansas State Red Wolves vs. Ball State Cardinals (January 5, 9:00 PM ET)<\/h3>\n
For the third straight year, the Red Wolves will be gunning for a GoDaddy Bowl title. They have split their previous participations in the event: Arkansas State lost to Northern Illinois in 2012 and won over Kent State last year. More than the team\u2019s familiarity with the bowl game, the Red Wolves are also well acquainted with the Ladd-Peebles Stadium where they have played four times in three seasons.<\/p>\n
Arkansas State\u2019s pair of Michael Gordon (717 rushing yards, 10 rushing TDs) and Adam Kennedy (514 rushing yards, 4 rushing TDs) anchor the team\u2019s rushing attack, which is its main weapon. The Red Wolves are No. 1 in the Sun Belt Conference in rushing (207.0 per game). Arkansas State is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last five games overall.<\/p>\n
Odds: Red Wolves (+8.5) vs. Cardinals (-8.5), O\/U: 64.5<\/a><\/p>\nOffense is the name of the Cardinals\u2019 game. Quarterback Keith Wenning is a prolific gunslinger, evidenced by his MAC-leading 327.8 passing yards per game and 34 passing touchdowns. Always there to catch his heaves is WR Willie Snead, who completes the terrific duo of the MAC\u2019s top ranked passing offense (333.3 yards per game). Snead is also the conference\u2019s best wide receiver with 1,429 yards and 14 TDs.<\/p>\n
