Idaho Potato Bowl - Bronco Stadium - Boise, ID
Ohio +118 over Utah State SportsInteraction
Ohio is coming off of a devastating second-half collapse in the MAC title game in which they lead 20-0 but ended up losing 23-20. That’s a good lesson that you take nothing for granted in this game and you can rarely take your foot off the pedal. Expect head coach Frank Solich to deliver those messages and have his team re-focused and ready to play in this one. The dual-threat capability of QB Tyler Tettleton should cause nothing but headaches for an Aggies' defense that has not shown the ability to stop many teams. The Aggies opened the year 2-5 and then won their last five games by a combined 19 points. That’s living dangerously and it also takes a toll. The Bobcats have five blowout wins this season and that shows a killer instinct, one they left at home against Northern Illinois. This time they'll finish what they started. Play: Ohio +118 (Risking 2 units).

New Orleans Bowl @ Superdome - New Orleans, LA
UL Lafayette +5/+175 over San Diego State Sports Interaction
SDSU RB Ronnie Hillman is one of the best backs in the country. He’s likely going to get between 25-30 carries in this one, as he is the engine that powers the Aztecs’ offense. But aside from Hillman, San Diego State’s offense is not one to fear. QB Ryan Lindley is inconsistent and the receivers keep dropping passes when he is on his game. The Aztecs defense is undersized and that should allow the Ragin' Cajuns' ground game to rack up yards. RB Alonzo Harris is reliable and so is Cajuns QB Blaine Gautier. Also note that Louisiana-Lafayette will be playing close to home and that sure makes a difference this time of year. San Diego state may have the best individual player on the field but collectively, the Cajuns are just as good a team and should have no trouble staying within striking distance with a chance to win it outright. Play: UL Lafayette +5 (Risking 1.1 units). Play: UL Lafayette +175 (Risking 1 unit).

Temple –7 over Wyoming PINNACLE
Temple is without doubt the better team and could win this one going away. However, too many folks are on the favorite and that almost always has us backing off. Wyoming is a well-coached team with an edge at quarterback but the Cowboys appear to be a bit overmatched in this one. Bernard Pierce (he’s a sure high NFL draft pick if he elects to enter the draft) is rested and ready to gash a Wyoming run defense that ranks near the bottom of the FBS. Look for the Owls to control the clock and wear down Wyoming with a heavy dose of the running game. Play: Temple –6½ (No bets)

2011-12 NCAA Football Bowl Preview - Part I

Temple -7 +100 vs. Wyoming (New Mexico Bowl - Saturday, December 17): Temple has one of the best defenses in the country statistically while playing in a MAC that is dominated by offense, allowing only 13.8 points and 315.5 yards per game. However, back-to-back losses to Bowling Green and Ohio late in the year knocked the Owls out of MAC title contention, and uncharacteristically allowing 35 points in the Ohio loss didn't help. Wyoming was a surprising eight-game winner this year, and while the Cowboys benefitted by feasting on the likes of New Mexico and UNLV at home, they also posted nice road upsets at Air Force, San Diego State and Bowling Green. Mountain West Conference bowl underdogs are 13-8, 61.9 percent ATS since 2000, while MAC favorites are 9-13-1, 40.9 percent in that same span.

Utah State -2½ vs. Ohio (Idaho Potato Bowl - Saturday, December 17): Utah State won its last five games to finish at 7-5, but "Oh what may have been", as besides a 10-point loss at Fresno State, the other four losses were by seven points or less and three of them were by four, three and one point respectively! Ohio finished at 9-4, but the Bobcats blew a 20-0 lead in the MAC Championship Game while losing 23-20 to Northern Illinois. Something has to give here from a conference profile perspective, as WAC favorites are an atrocious 3-12, 20.0 percent ATS in bowls since 2000, but MAC bowl underdogs are just 10-16-1, 38.5 percent ATS.

San Diego State -4½ vs. UL Lafayette (New Orleans Bowl - Saturday, December 17): These teams both finished 8-4 straight up, but UL Lafayette also went 8-4 against the spread while the Aztecs had a losing 5-7 ATS mark. San Diego State did have a potent running game averaging 194.2 rushing yards per game on an excellent 5.1 yards per carry, but the Aztecs gave it back on the defensive end, surrendering 177.3 rushing yards per contest. Then again, the Ragin' Cajuns only average 3.6 yards per rush, so they may be unable to exploit that weakness. The conference bowl profiles since 2000 wash out here, as Mountain West favorites are 11-9, 55.0 percent ATS and Sun Belt Conference dogs are 5-4-1, 55.6 percent.

Temple -6 vs. Wyoming: The Cowboys made a midseason correction by going with a freshman QB and it has worked wonders. The Mountain West continues to get disrespected. WYOMING.
