Las Vegas Bowl highlights Saturday's bowl betting action
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Las Vegas product Donnel Pumphrey returns home for the Las Vegas Bowl with a chance to break the NCAA career rushing record.

Las Vegas Bowl

Houston Cougars vs. San Diego State Aztecs – Open: +3; Move: +4.5; Move: +4

With a season-opening upset of Oklahoma and a favorable American Athletic Conference schedule, Houston certainly had higher hopes than playing on the first day of bowl season. But a stunning Week 6 loss at Navy, followed by a blowout loss at Southern Methodist two weeks later, scotched those plans.

The Cougars (9-3 SU, 5-7 ATS) did notch an impressive 36-10 home win over Louisville as a 17-point underdog in their penultimate regular-season game, but followed that with a 48-44 loss at Memphis giving 6 points. Just one day after that game, it was announced that coach Tom Herman would be leaving Houston for the Texas job, and offensive coordinator Major Applewhite was promoted to head coach a week ago.

CG opened Houston at -3 on Dec. 5, and it reached 4.5 a couple times over the past couple of days, before going back to 4 Friday afternoon.

“Obviously, the early money on Houston,” Simbal said of action at CG’s books, including shops at The Cosmopolitan, M and the Venetian. “But lately, we’ve seen a lot of action coming back on San Diego State on the moneyline, at about +150, +160. So you’re looking at a situation where, as a book, we’re gonna need the middle here. We’re gonna need the favorite to win without covering. Houston by 1, 2 or 3 will be the best position for the books.”

William Hill also opened at 3 and was at 4.5 on Friday for this 3:30 p.m. Eastern kickoff.

“All the money’s been on Houston,” Bogdanovich said. “A good game, lots of good stories there – Houston’s coach, (Aztecs running back) Donnel Pumphrey going for the NCAA rushing record.”

Pumphrey needs just 108 yards to surpass Ron Dayne’s career total of 6,397 yards, and the Aztecs star will be at home to try to do it, as he’s a Las Vegas product.

The storylines and a good matchup seem to have bettors’ attention.

“We’re gonna write more tickets to this one than the other (Saturday) games,” Bogdanovich said. “Money-wise, maybe not, but a lot of people are in town for the game. And unless we take a big bet on the ‘dog, we’ll definitely need San Diego State.”

New Mexico Bowl

Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners vs. New Mexico Lobos – Open: -7; Move: -7.5

New Mexico gets an extra home game once again, as for the second straight season, it will appear in the first bowl game of the year, with a 2 p.m. Eastern kickoff. The Lobos (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS) made it this far by winning six of their last seven games (5-2 ATS), capping the regular season with a 56-35 rout of resurgent Wyoming catching 3 points at home on Nov. 26.

Texas-San Antonio is playing in its first-ever bowl game, in the program’s sixth year of competition and the fourth as a full Football Bowl Subdivision member. The Roadrunners (6-6 SU and ATS), out of Conference USA, barely reached bowl eligibility, topping Charlotte 33-14 as a 12.5-point chalk to reach six wins in their regular-season finale.

“All the money is on New Mexico, and I’d say that’s public money,” Bogdanovich said. “The Lobos are getting another bowl game at home. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. The players maybe want to be rewarded by getting to go somewhere else. But Bob Davie will have them ready to play. UTSA will definitely be excited to be there.”

Cure Bowl

Arkansas State Red Wolves vs. Central Florida Knights – Open: -6.5; Move: -6; Move: -5.5; Move: -5; Move: -4.5; Move: -5; Move: -5.5

Central Florida certainly has more name recognition here, but Arkansas State is drawing wagering attention the past week. The Red Wolves (7-5 SU, 6-6 ATS) opened the season 0-4 SU and ATS, then won seven of their last eight (6-2 ATS), capped by a 36-14 victory at Texas State as a 25.5-point fave on Dec. 3.
The Knights (6-6 SU, 8-4 ATS) dropped their last two games, including a 48-31 loss at South Florida as a 12.5 point pup on Nov. 26.

“This is one where they’ve actually been betting the underdog, Arkansas State. They’ve been betting them on the moneyline and plus the points,” Simbal said in explaining the 2-point drop in the line before some late-week buyback on Central Florida. “So Arkansas State is certainly a live ‘dog here, as a lot of the sharp action has come in on the moneyline.”

William Hill also opened at 6.5 and was down to 5.5 over the past couple of days, then back to 6 by Thursday night for this 5:30 p.m. Eastern matchup.

“We’re pretty even on the game, money for both sides,” Bogdanovich said. “Arkansas State closed pretty good. Anytime you’ve got a ‘dog finishing the season strong, you’ll get some people on them. Right now, it’s a good two-way game.”

Camellia Bowl

Appalachian State Mountaineers vs. Toledo Rockets – Open: Pick ‘em; Move: none

Appalachian State (9-3 SU, 6-6 ATS) went 8-1 SU in its last nine games, finishing it off with a 37-7 rout at New Mexico State laying 20 points to share the Sun Belt Conference title with Arkansas State. Toledo (9-3 SU, 7-5 ATS) was on a 6-1 SU stretch before running into undefeated Western Michigan to close the regular season, losing 55-35 as an 8-point road ‘dog.

“That’s a good game. App State a really good program the last couple years,” Bogdanovich said. “We’ve been at pick the entire time. It’s the epitome of a pick ‘em game. Two quality programs, definitely the second-best game of the day, after Houston-San Diego State. Action is dead two-way right now, and we’ll see where it goes.”

While William’s Hills shops all around Nevada have remained at pick ‘em, Bogdanovich noted other shops around Las Vegas have swayed between Toledo a small favorite and App State a small chalk. The game kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Eastern.

New Orleans Bowl

Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles vs. Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns – Open: +3; Move: +3.5; Move: +4; Move: +5; Move: +5.5; Move: +6

The Saturday nightcap, with a 9 p.m. Eastern kick, pits two teams making short road trips to the Superdome. Southern Miss has steadily risen as the favorite over the past two weeks, despite limping into this game on slides of 2-5 SU and 1-7 ATS. The Golden Eagles (6-6 SU, 3-8-1 ATS) at least closed strong, pulling a 39-24 home upset of Louisiana Tech as a 14.5-point pup on Nov. 25.

Louisiana-Lafayette (6-6 SU, 8-4 ATS) won three of its last four to get bowl-eligible, including a 30-3 rout of Louisiana-Monroe laying 5.5 points on Dec. 3.

“A regional battle, so both teams should have some fan base there. This game might even be more entertaining than Dolphins-Jets,” Bogdanovich said, noting the NFL game overlaps the New Orleans Bowl. “Of the two, I’ll be watching the bowl game. The sharps are on Southern Miss, and the public hasn’t gotten involved yet.”

CG books also opened the Golden Eagles at -3 and steadily went up this week, settling at 6 Thursday.

“The early betting action here has been of the sharp variety, and it’s come on Southern Miss as the favorite,” Simbal said. “This is a situation where, you know, most of the public money in kind of these lower-tier bowl games doesn’t really start showing up ‘til game day. So they’re likely to bet the favorite, as well. Not a great situation for the books, needing the ‘dog in this one.”

That said, the Ragin’ Cajuns are back in this game for the fifth time in six years, having won and cashed in 2011, ’12, ’13 and ’14.

Miami Beach Bowl betting preview: Central Michigan vs Tulsa
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tulsa features two 1,000-yard rushers in James Flanders (1,529) and D'Angelo Brewer (1,330), a 3,000-yard passer in Dane Evans (3,044) and a 1,000-yard receiver in Keevan Lucas (1,108).

Central Michigan Chippewas vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane (-12.5, 69.5)

Central Michigan, which counted a very controversial 30-27 non-conference victory at Oklahoma State among its six wins to become bowl eligible, will face another team from the Sooner state - high-scoring Tulsa - in the Miami Beach Bowl on Dec. 19 at Marlins Park, home of Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins. The Chippewas made national news with their memorable no-time-on-the-clock, hook-and-ladder Hail Mary touchdown to upset Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., on Sept. 10. After the game, it was determined the MAC officiating crew - which later was suspended - had made a mistake by giving Central Michigan an extra untimed down with no time remaining after Oklahoma State was called for intentional grounding on fourth down.

That improbable win over the Cowboys came in very handy for Central Michigan, which lost four of its final five games - including a 26-21 heartbreaker to Eastern Michigan in its regular-season finale on a long touchdown pass with 21 seconds left. Without the Oklahoma State victory in its hip pocket, Central Michigan would be spending mid-December in chilly Mount Pleasant, Mich. instead of sunny Miami, where coach John Bonamego was special teams coordinator for the Dolphins from 2008-10. "It's got to be in the top five in destinations for a bowl game," Bonamego told reporters. "There's a tremendous amount of culture down there. It's a great destination ... a lot of good people, a lot of good friends."

Tulsa finished second to Navy in the American Athletic Conference West Division. The Golden Hurricane's three losses came against the Midshipmen (42-40), Houston (38-31) and Ohio State (48-3). Coached by former Houston and Baylor offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery, Tulsa ranks sixth nationally in total offense (522.8 yards), eighth in rushing offense (261.8) and 11th in scoring (41.4 points), and will be going up against a Central Michigan defense that ranked 43rd in total defense (376.2).

TV: 2:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: Tulsa opened as 11.5-point favorites over Central Michigan. That number wasn't high enough for the betting public and was bet up a full point to 12.5. The total hit the board at 68 and went up to 70.5, before settling at 70. View complete line history here.

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "Tulsa is close to a two-touchdown favorite here and probably for good reason as these teams closed the season going in opposite directions. The Golden Hurricane finished on a 5-1 run with the only loss coming against Navy by just two points and they outgained all six of those opponents. It should be noted however that Tulsa had three wins come in overtime and all of those were against non-bowling teams. Central Michigan lost four of its last five games after a 5-2 start so it comes in with very little momentum. This is a big number however and double-digit underdogs in lesser bowls usually fare
well so the Chippewas could stay within this number even though Tulsa is the much more talented team."

WEATHER REPORT: It should be a beautiful night for football at Marlins Park in Miami. The forecast is calling for sunny skies, minimal winds and temperatures in the low 80’s.

INJURY REPORT:

Central Michigan - DB Amari Coleman (questionable, knee), RB Devon Spalding (questionable, shoulder)

Tulsa - CB Keanu Hill (questionable, knee)

ABOUT THE CHIPPEWAS (6-6 SU, 5-7 ATS, 6-6 O/U): The Chippewas are led by senior quarterback Cooper Rush, who has completed 254-of-416 passes for 3,299 yards and 23 touchdowns. Wideout Corey Willis is his favorite target with 1,028 yards receiving and nine touchdowns while Devon Spalding is the team's top rusher with 737 yards and six scores on 131 carries despite missing two games. Cornerback Amari Coleman, who led the MAC in passes defended (19) and tied for first in the conference with four interceptions, and inside linebacker Malik Fountain (84 tackles, 10 tackles for loss) both were First Team All-MAC selections.

ABOUT THE GOLDEN HURRICANE (9-3 SU, 8-4 ATS, 8-4 O/U): The Golden Hurricane feature two 1,000-yard rushers in senior James Flanders (1,529) and D'Angelo Brewer (1,330), who finished 1-2 in the AAC, a 3,000-yard passer in senior Dane Evans (3,044) and a 1,000-yard receiver in senior Keevan Lucas (1,108). If senior wide receiver Josh Atkinson (927) reaches the 1,000-yard mark in the bowl game, Tulsa would become the first team in FBS history with a 3,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard rushers and two 1,000-yard receivers. Senior linebacker Trent Martin leads the defense in tackles (94) and interceptions (two) while defensive lineman Jesse Brubaker tops the team in tackles for loss with 12.5 - including 4.5 sacks - to go along with 54 tackles.

TRENDS:

* Chippewas are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Golden Hurricane are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
* Over is 6-1 in Chippewas last 7 games on grass.
* Over is 6-1 in Golden Hurricane last 7 games following a straight up win.
* Over is 13-3 in Golden Hurricane last 16 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game.

CONSENSUS: The public is backing Tulsa with 61 percent of wagers on the Golden Hurricane. The over is getting 61 percent of the action.

Boca Raton Bowl betting preview: Memphis vs Western Kentucky
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Western Kentucky closed out the season on a seven-game winning streak, capped by a 58-44 victory over Louisiana Tech in the C-USA championship game.

Memphis Tigers vs Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (-6.5, 80.5)

Western Kentucky is making its third straight bowl appearance and will face Memphis in the Boca Raton Bowl in Boca Raton, Fla., on Dec. 20. Head coach Jeff Brohm, who led the Hilltoppers to their second straight Conference USA championship this year, was hired by Purdue on Dec. 5 and defensive coordinator Nick Holt takes over in the interim for the bowl game. Memphis is making its third consecutive bowl appearance after finishing tied for third in the American Athletic Conference West Division.

The Tigers had a tough task replacing head coach Justin Fuente and quarterback Paxton Lynch after last season but barely missed a beat behind new coach Mike Norvell and quarterback Riley Ferguson. Memphis won three of the last four games to improve its bowl position, including knocking off then-No. 20 Houston 48-44 in the regular-season finale. The Tigers average 39.5 points and rolled up 555 yards of total offense in the win over the Cougars.

Western Kentucky closed out the season on a seven-game winning streak, capped by a 58-44 victory over Louisiana Tech in the C-USA championship game. The Hilltoppers are second among FBS teams with a scoring average of 45.1 points and bumped that number up to 52.1 over the last nine contests. Western Kentucky is aiming for its third straight bowl win after knocking off Central Michigan 49-48 in the 2014 Bahamas Bowl and beating South Florida 45-35 in the 2015 Miami Beach Bowl.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: Western Kentucky opened as 3.5-point favorites and the spread climbed steadily before settling at -6.5 on Monday. The total hit the betting board at 77, went as high as 81 and came back down to 79.5 the day before kickoff.

WEATHER REPORT: Conditions in Boca Raton are expected to be cloudy with temperatures in the mid-70's for kickoff. There will be a 5-7 mph cross-wind and a slight chance of a shower.

INJURY REPORT:

Memphis - WR R. Proctor (Questionable, undisclosed), DB A. Hall (Questionable, leg), DL J. Gentry (Out For Season, foot), RB S. Craft (Out For Season, back), DB B. Ross (Out Indefinitely, neck), DB K. Prewitt (Out Indefinitely, suspension), LB J. Dillon (Out For Season, knee), WR H. Hill (Out Indefinitely, knee), QB B. Davis (Out For Season, knee).

Western Kentucky - DL T. Jones (Questionable, shoulder), LB T. McCollum (Out, elbow), WR N. Fant (Out For Season, knee), RB D. Ferby (Out For Season, shoulder), DB M. Ward (Out For Season, knee), QB N. Fishback (Out For Season, pectoral).

ABOUT MEMPHIS (8-4 SU, 5-7 ATS, 7-5 O/U): Ferguson saved his best performance for last, passing for 409 yards with four TDs and no interceptions against Houston to cap a 3,326-yard season. Ferguson's campaign places him second on the school's all-time single-season throwing yards' list behind Lynch's total of 3,776 from last season. Tigers freshman Tony Pollard was named the AAC's Special Teams Player of the Year after ranking third in the nation with 993 kickoff return yards and tied for third with two kickoff return TDs.

ABOUT WESTERN KENTUCKY (10-3 SU, 6-7 ATS, 7-6 O/U): The Hilltoppers' offense is led by quarterback Mike White, who passed for 4,027 yards, 34 touchdowns and six interceptions while averaging 10.43 yards per attempt. Making White's job easier is senior wide receiver Taywan Taylor, who logged 1,586 yards and caught 16 of those TD passes, including two in the C-USA championship game. Western Kentucky's defense held three of its last five opponents under 10 points and recorded as many sacks (five) as rushing yards allowed against Louisiana Tech.

TRENDS:

* Tigers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs. CUSA.
* Tigers are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games on grass.
* Hilltoppers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
* Over is 5-0 in Tigers' last 5 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game.
* Over is 12-3-1 in Hilltoppers last 16 vs. a team with a winning record.

CONSENSUS: The public is backing Western Kentucky with 57 percent of wagers on the Hilltoppers. The over is getting 58 percent of the action.

Poinsettia Bowl betting preview: Brigham Young vs Wyoming
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sophomore Tanner Mangum completed 59.9 percent of his passes for 3,377 yards with 23 touchdowns and 10 interceptions as a freshman while replacing Taysom Hill.

Brigham Young Cougars vs Wyoming Cowboys (+10, 57)

There will be a new quarterback under center when BYU meets old Mountain West Conference rival Wyoming on Dec. 21 at the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego after Taysom Hill when down in the last game with a season-ending injury for the fourth time in five years. The Cougars fortunately have an experienced backup as sophomore Tanner Mangum completed 59.9 percent of his passes for 3,377 yards with 23 touchdowns and 10 interceptions as a freshman while replacing Hill, who missed all but the first half of last season's opener with a fractured foot. BYU, which leads the series 44-30-3 and won the last seven meetings before leaving the MWC in 2010, appears in its 12th straight bowl but hasn't won one since a 23-6 victory over San Diego State in the 2012 Poinsettia Bowl.

The game could come down to who better stops the run as Cowboys junior Brian Hill rushed for 1,767 yards and 21 touchdowns - good for third and second, respectively, in the MWC, but faces a stiff challenge in a Cougars' rushing defense that is eighth in the country at 108.4 yards allowed per game. BYU senior Jamaal Williams rushed for 1,165 and 11 TDs despite missing three of the last five games with an ankle injury and faces a Wyoming defense that allows 34.8 points per game - 24th-most among the 128 FBS teams in the nation - and an average of 464 total yards (17th-most). Williams rushed for 618 yards and nine scores in a three-game stretch versus West Virginia, Toledo and Michigan State this season, including a school-record five TDs and a career-high 286 yards against Toledo, and seems healthy again after rushing for 131 and a score on 18 carries in a 28-10 victory over Utah State on Nov. 26 in the Cougars' last contest.

Craig Bohl made a name for himself by coaching North Dakota State to three consecutive FCS titles from 2011-13 before taking on the challenge of bringing the Cowboys back to respectability. Bohl was 6-18 in his first two seasons before nearly leading Wyoming to an MWC championship, losing to San Diego State 27-24 in the conference title game Dec. 3. Bohl was named MWC Coach of the Year on Nov. 30 and the Cowboys didn't waste much time extending his contract through 2023 on Dec. 2, with athletic director Tom Burman explaining in a release: "When I hired Craig three years ago, I believed he was the best coach to turn around our football program. He has certainly delivered and the turnaround is evident in the performance of our team this season.”

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: BYU opened as 8.5-point favorites and over the past week that number has risen steadily and currently sits as BYU -10. The total hit the board at 56.5 and currently sits at 57. Check out the complete history here.

WEATHER REPORT: Believe it or not, the normally perfect weather conditions in San Diego (the host city for the 2016 Poinsettia Bowl) are expected to be unsettled, at best, on Wednesday night. Coudly, 60 percent chance of rain showers, temperatures in the mid-60's, and wind gusts of 12-15 mph.

INJURY REPORT:

Brigham Young - LB S. Takitaki (Questionable, undisclosed), OL B. Wilcox (Questionable, undisclosed), K J. Oldroyd (Questionable, back), RB A. Brown (Questionable, undisclosed), QB T. Hill (Out For Season, elbow), DL M. Taliauli (Out For Season, knee), DL T. Tuiloma (Out For Season, knee), OL U. Lapuaho (Out Indefinitely, knee).

Wyoming - OL G. Rush (Probable, back), LB C. Irving (Questionable, undisclosed), LB J. Moore (Questionable, undisclosed), LB D. May (Out For Season, pectoral), NT C. Appleby (Out For Season, knee), S A. Makransky (Out Indefinitely, leg), OL R. Cummings (Out Indefinitely, foot), DE C. Granderson (Out For Season, knee), DE T. Meader (Out For Season, knee), RB K. Overstreet (Out Indefinitely, undisclosed).

ABOUT BYU (8-4 SU, 9-3 ATS, 3-9 O/U): Mangum saw action in the last three games, completing 14-of-18 pass for 145 yards and two touchdowns, and appears to be less of a running threat than Hill (603 yards, eight TDs this season) although he carried seven times for 30 yards in 2016. Only one of the Cougars' eight victories came against a winning FBS team (9-3 Toledo) while the four-game winning streak they ride saw them outscore clubs with a combined 15-32 record 136-29, including 37-7 over FCS member Southern Utah (6-5). BYU's four losses to Utah, UCLA, West Virginia and Boise State were by a combined eight points while their victories include Arizona, Michigan State and Cincinnati on the road, along with Mississippi State and Toledo at home.

ABOUT WYOMING (8-5 SU, 8-5 ATS, 9-4 O/U): The Cowboys could find the going better through the air and sophomore Josh Allen (2,996 yards, 26 touchdown passes) appears capable of exploiting this weakness in the Cougars' defense, although his 13 interceptions are cause for concern. Senior wide receiver Tanner Gentry (18.7 yards per 65 receptions, 12 touchdowns) is Allen's favorite target while senior tight end Jacob Hollister boasts seven TDs among his 30 receptions. Wyoming's non-conference schedule included a 40-34 triple-overtime victory over Northern Illinois and a 52-17 loss at Nebraska.

TRENDS:

* Cougars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. MWC.
* Cowboys are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Under is 6-0 in Cougars last 6 non-conference games.
* Over is 7-1 in Cowboys last 8 games following a ATS win.
* Cougars are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

CONSENSUS: The public is backing Wyoming with 57 percent of wagers on the Cowboys. The Over is getting 55 percent of the total action.

Bahamas Bowl betting preview: Eastern Michigan vs Old Dominion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Old Dominion's David Washington is one of four FBS quarterbacks to have thrown for 25 touchdown passes with four or fewer interceptions.

Eastern Michigan Eagles vs Old Dominion Monarchs (-4, 63.5)

A pair of postseason strangers face off when Eastern Michigan meets Old Dominion in the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl in Nassau, Bahamas, on Dec. 23. While the Monarchs have never played in a bowl game, the Eagles make their first appearance in 29 years. The two teams are no strangers to each other, however, as Old Dominion defeated Eastern Michigan in a shootout on the road last season 38-34, getting a 45-yard touchdown run with 1:57 to play for the winning margin.

Chris Creighton directed the turnaround for Eastern Michigan, which won a combined three games in his first two years with the program. Creighton took over for coach Ron English, who was fired after addressing his team with what the school's administration deemed as “wholly inappropriate language” in 2013. Quarterback Brogan Roback fuels the offense, throwing for 2,394 yards with 16 touchdowns and he passed for 468 yards and three scores in the Eagles' bowl-clinching win over Ball State earlier in the season.

Old Dominion's only loss in Conference USA play came to Western Kentucky but it proved to spell the end of its title hopes as both teams finished 7-1 in conference play. The Monarchs averaged 36 points per game (27th in the FBS) led by David Washington, who is one of four FBS quarterbacks to have thrown for 25 touchdown passes with four or fewer interceptions. Washington threw for 2,648 yards overall while completing 59.7 percent of his passes for the Monarchs, who ride a five-game winning streak all of which came by double figures.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: Old Dominion opened as 3-point favorites and the spread climbed up a full point to 4. The total hit the betting board at 64, went as high as 65 before fading back down to 63.5. View the complete line history here.

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "A lot of public support for Old Dominion, possibly spurred by the motivation of its first bowl game. We have 70 percent of the tickets on the Monarchs, mostly small bets as there hasn't been much interest from the sharper players thus far."

WEATHER REPORT: The forecast for Thomas A. Robinson Stadium in Nassau is partly sunny skies with a chance of showers and temperatures in the low-80’s for the afternoon kickoff. There will be a bit of wind out of the east ranging from 10-14 mph.

INJURY REPORT:

Eastern Michigan - RB Ian Eriksen (questionable, undisclosed)

Old Dominion - TE Melvin Vaughn (questionable, ankle), QB David Washington (questionable, knee)

TRENDS:

* Eagles are 6-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Monarchs are 1-4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Monarchs are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 non-conference games.
* Over is 4-0 in Eagles last 4 games on grass.
* Over is 5-1 in Monarchs last 6 games on grass.

CONSENSUS: The public is backing Old Dominion with 61 percent of the bets being laid on the Monarchs. Users are split 50/50 on the total.

Armed Forces Bowl betting preview: Louisiana Tech vs Navy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Navy sophomore Zach Abey has run for three scores since taking over but has thrown four interceptions in two games.

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs vs No. 25 Navy Midshipman (+6.5, 67.5)

Both Navy and Louisiana Tech carry two-game losing streaks - including setbacks in their respective conference title games - into the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 23 in Fort Worth, Texas. The Midshipmen, who fell to Temple in the American Athletic Conference championship before losing to Army for the first time in 15 years, have won three straight bowl games - including this one in 2013. The Bulldogs have won two bowl games in a row and are seeking their third consecutive nine-win season.

Navy has not been the same team since losing senior quarterback Will Worth - the nation's leader with 25 rushing touchdowns - early in the loss to Temple on Dec. 3. Sophomore Zach Abey has run for three scores since taking over but has thrown four interceptions in the two games. Abey and his crew will need to get some early points in order to prevent a situation where they need to play catch up through the air opposite Louisiana Tech's relentless passing attack.

Bulldogs quarterback Ryan Higgins was named Conference USA MVP after throwing for 4,208 yards and 37 TDs against eight interceptions for the nation's fifth-ranked scoring offense (44 points per game) and third-ranked passing unit (359.8 yards). Navy's rushing game is fourth in the country at 310.9 yards, making for an intriguing clash of styles. "It certainly has some interesting dynamics when you look at the two teams and where both of our strengths are and both of our weaknesses are," Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz - who is 4-3 in bowl games - told reporters.

TV: 4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: Louisiana Tech opened as 3.5-point favorites and that number wasn’t high enough for bettors and has been climbing settling at 6.5. The total hit the board at 66 and has risen to two full points to 68. View the complete line history here.

WHAT BOOKS SAY: “We opened Navy as a 1 point favorite this bowl game, but took early action on Louisianna Tech (over 70%) The action has been so overwhelming on Louisiana Tech that the line has moved all the way to Tech -6.5 with over 85% of the action on Tech to cover.”

WEATHER REPORT: The forecast for Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth Texas is looking wet, with cloudy skies and showers expected at kickoff. Temperatures in the mid-50’s and slight wind to the north, make for a less than ideal day for football.

INJURY REPORT:

Louisiana Tech - LB Dalton Santos (questionable, academics), LB Jordan Harris (questionable, academics), S Secdrick Cooper (questionable, neck)

Navy - LB Ryan Harris (out, lower body), LB Josiah Powell (out, leg), WR Tyler Carmona (doubtful, foot), LB Mike Kelly (questionable, shoulder), WR Craig Scott (questionable, ankle), S Jerry Thompson (questionable, ankle), SB Darryl Bonner (questionable, head), S Kyle Battle (questionable, knee), SB Joshua Walker (questionable, shoulder), SB Josh Brown (questionable, foot), CB Elijah Merchant (questionable, concussion), G Marcus Edwards (questionable, personal), LB Hudson Sullivan (questionable, knee)

ABOUT LOUISIANA TECH (8-5 SU, 8-5 ATS, 10-3 OU): Higgins has one of the nation's top targets in senior Trent Taylor, who is second in the country in receptions (124), third in yards (1,570) and among 31 players with at least 10 receiving TDs, although he has only two in his last eight games. Junior Carlos Henderson had 52 fewer grabs but nearly the same number of yards (1,406) and ranks tied for second among FBS players with 17 receiving scores. Junior running back Jarred Craft had a total of 31 yards on the ground over the last two games but gained 1,350 total yards this season and 13 TDs, nine of which came on the ground.

ABOUT NAVY (9-4 SU, 7-5-1 ATS, 8-5 OU): The Midshipmen will be challenged early and often by Higgins after allowing 25 TDs through the air and ranking 122nd in the country in passing efficiency defense. It'll be up to Abey and a fleet of backs - led by junior Chris High (500 rushing yards, five TDs) - to maintain possession and burn the clock. Senior fullback Shawn White had 310 of his 443 yards over the final five games, as well as four of his seven scores, while senior wideout Jamir Tillman has team highs of 38 catches and 615 receiving yards.

TRENDS:

* Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Bowl games.
* Midshipmen are 0-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Over is 7-1 in Bulldogs last 8 games overall.
* Over is 4-0 in Midshipmen last 4 Friday games.

CONSENSUS: The public is backing Louisiana Tech with 55 percent of the wagers on the Bulldogs. The Over is getting 54 percent of the total action.

Dollar General Bowl betting preview: Ohio vs Troy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troy led the Sun Belt in scoring, passing and total offense with 49 touchdowns and 5,263 total yards.

Ohio Bobcats vs Troy Trojans (-4, 49)

Two teams that ended the season with close losses to miss out on conference championships get a chance to remove that bitter taste when Ohio meets Troy in the Dollar General Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Dec. 23. The Bobcats gave No. 14 Western Michigan all it could handle before losing 29-23 in the MAC championship game. The Trojans were upset by Georgia Southern 28-24 to miss out on a share of the Sun Belt crown.

This is the eighth straight season of bowl eligibility for Ohio under coach Frank Solich, who also guided the Bobcats to Mobile in 2007. The MAC East Division champion missed out on its first conference crown since 1968 but still can reach nine wins for the first time since 2012 - the last time Ohio won a bowl game. The Bobcats are 2-7 overall in bowl games.

Troy led the Sun Belt in scoring, passing and total offense with 49 touchdowns and 5,263 total yards. The Trojans are 2-3 in bowl games and are making their first bowl appearance since 2010 - when they beat the Bobcats 48-21 in the New Orleans Bowl. Troy nearly upset No. 3 Clemson in a 30-24 nail-biter Sept. 10.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: Troy opened as 3.5-point favorites and that number held until Tuesday when the line inched up to -4. The total hit the board at 49 and briefly fell to 48.5 before returning to 49, where it currently stands. View the complete line history here.

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "We opened Troy as -35. point favourites and took solid two way action on that number. We have since moved to Troy -4 as we are starting to see more action come in on Troy, 63% to be exact."

WEATHER REPORT: The forecast for Mobile, Alabama is a mostly cloudy night with temperatures in the low-60’s at kickoff. There will be minimal wind, but no rain is expected.

INJURY REPORT:

Ohio - S Mayne Williams (questionable, head), WR Andrew Meyer (questionable, undisclosed), OL Jacob Ready (out indefinitely, suspension)

Troy - No injuries to report

ABOUT OHIO (8-5 SU, 7-6 ATS, 1-11-1 OU): Since allowing 56 points to Texas State in triple overtime in the season opener, the Bobcats have held every opponent to fewer than 30 points, with MAC Defensive Player of the Year Tarell Basham being a big reason why. The senior defensive lineman led the conference with 11.5 sacks and is the school’s career leader with 29.5. Senior linebacker Blair Brown had a conference-high 116 tackles (13.5 for loss), and MAC Freshman of the Year Javon Hagan had 50 tackles and led the team with five forced fumbles and three interceptions.

ABOUT TROY (9-3 SU, 6-6 ATS, 4-7-1 OU 6-2): The Trojans got as far as 8-1 and became the first Sun Belt team to be ranked in the Top 25 before losing two of their final three games and missing out on their sixth conference title. Despite the slide, it still was a season of major strides for Troy, which improved by five wins in coach Neal Brown’s second season - tied for the fifth-best turnaround in the nation. Junior running back Jordan Chunn led the resurgence, rushing for 1,232 yards and a conference-best 13 touchdowns.

TRENDS:

* Bobcats are 6-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Trojans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss.
* Over is 8-0-1 in Bobcats last 9 vs. S-Belt.
* Over is 5-0 in Trojans last 5 Bowl games.

CONSENSUS: 57 percent of users are taking the favoured Trojans and the Over is picking up 53 percent of the totals action.

Hawai’i Bowl betting preview: Hawaii vs Middle Tennessee
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Rainbow Warriors return to a bowl game for the first time since 2010 and are currently 7-pt underdogs in this defacto home game.

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors vs Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (-7, 72.5)

Two teams that ended their regular seasons on a strong note will do battle Dec. 24, as Hawaii tangles with Middle Tennessee in what is essentially a home game for the Rainbow Warriors. Hawaii reeled off back-to-back narrow victories over Fresno State and Massachusetts to secure bowl eligibility for the first time since 2010. The Blue Raiders won shootouts over Charlotte and Florida Atlantic to clinch its first eight-win campaign since 2013.

The Rainbow Warriors weren't assured a bowl berth following their 46-40 victory over the Minutemen, but earned an exemption because not enough teams wound up bowl-eligible. Hawaii is 3-3 all-time in Hawaii Bowl contests, but this will be its first appearance as a member of the Mountain West Conference, which placed seven teams in bowl games this season. This is the first six-win season since 2011 for the Rainbow Warriors, who went 11-39 the previous four seasons.

The Blue Raiders capped a highly successful regular season in style, setting school records in points, offensive yards and touchdowns in a 77-56 slugfest with the Owls. It was a fitting end to the season for a Middle Tennessee team that broke season-long marks with 6,188 total offensive yards, 481 total points and 61 offensive touchdowns. It's the 10th bowl game in school history, and the Blue Raiders come in with a 3-6 bowl record all-time.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN.

INJURY REPORT:

Hawaii - DB Daniel Lewis Jr. (questionable, disciplinary), WR Devan Stubblefield (questionable, undisclosed)

Middle Tennessee - QB John Urzua (questionable, concussion), OL Carlos Johnson (questionable, undisclosed), QB Brent Stockstill (questionable, collarbone), WR Jocquez Bruce (probable, ankle)

ABOUT MIDDLE TENNESSEE (6-7 SU, 5-7 ATS, 8-4 OU): The Blue Raiders appeared to be in peril after star quarterback Brent Stockstill was lost for the season to a broken collarbone in early November - but you wouldn't know it by looking at a Middle Tennessee offense that plastered the scoreboard for 115 points in the final two games of the season. While the Blue Raiders did the majority of their damage through the air with Stockstill at the helm, they were ruthless on the ground against Florida Atlantic, rushing for 495 yards and nine scores - three each by I'Tavius Mathers, Richie James and Dennis Andrews. Mathers was the pulse of the running game during the season, racking up 1,504 yards and 16 touchdowns on 220 carries.

ABOUT HAWAII (8-4 SU, 6-5-1 ATS, 8-4 OU): The Rainbow Warriors will need to lean heavily on sophomore quarterback Dru Brown, who threw for more than 2,200 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 283 yards and three scores on the ground. Hawaii's three-headed rushing tandem of Diocemy Saint Juste (836 yards, three TDs), Paul Harris (537 yards, two TDs) and Steven Lakalaka (415 yards, 12 TDs) will hope to help take the pressure off Brown, who bolstered his final numbers with a five-touchdown effort against UMass. The Rainbow Warriors do have a difference-maker on the defensive side in linebacker Jahlani Tavai, who was awarded All-Mountain West honors after posting a team-leading 118 tackles and seven sacks.

TRENDS:

* Rainbow Warriors are 1-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Blue Raiders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Bowl games.
* Over is 5-0 in Rainbow Warriors last 5 non-conference games.
* Over is 6-1 in Blue Raiders last 7 games overall.

CONSENSUS: A whopping 79 percent of wagers are on Middle Tennessee.
