ALAMO BOWL:
TEXAS (235) AT OREGON (236)
Latest Line: Oregon -13.5; Total: 67.0

For the second straight year, Texas will play in the Alamo Bowl in nearby San Antonio against a superior team from Oregon. The Longhorns used the home-field advantage last year to defeat favored Oregon State, the same team that nearly knocked off the Ducks in their season finale, saddling them with an 0-4 ATS mark in November. Texas is 7-1 SU in its past eight bowl matchups, but has allowed 30+ points in six games this year. That doesn't bode well against an Oregon team that ranks third in the nation in scoring (46.8 PPG). The Ducks are 4-2 SU in their past six bowl games.

HOLIDAY BOWL:
TEXAS TECH (237) AT ARIZONA ST. (238)
Latest Line: Arizona St. -14.0; Total: 71.5

Texas Tech looks to end a five-game slide (SU and ATS) versus a high-powered Arizona State team looking for redemption after a home loss to Stanford in the Pac-12 title game. The Red Raiders have allowed 48.6 PPG and 505 total YPG during its season-ending skid, and QB Baker Mayfield is transferring, putting freshman QB Davis Webb (16 TD, 9 INT) back under center. The Sun Devils should have top RB Marion Grice (996 rush yards, 14 TD) back on the field after a twogame absence (lower leg). This should take the pressure off QB Taylor Kelly (28 TD, 11 INT) who has fizzled since Nov. 1.

Key Release

OVER THE TOTAL Portland 113 - NEW ORLEANS 105—Are the oddsmakers finally catching up to the Blazers?
Portland still winning, but not covering numbers as easily since mid-December, dropping four straight vs. line
thru Xmas. But that’s no fault of 2nd-year G Damian Lillard, who was scoring 33.7 ppg in three-game stretch prior to Blazers hosting Clippers last Thursday night. Note that home team has won all four meetings since the start of last season, though Blazers failed to cover recent 110-107 nailbiter vs. Pelicans at Moda Center (nee Rose Garden) on Dec. 21. Blazers scoring 108.5 ppg and connecting on 40.5% of their triples (both NBA bests) thru Dec. 26, so we might want to look hard at the “over,“ especially since Hornets “over” 13-6 last 19.

New Orleans also notably streaky, with only a single one-game cover streak
since Nov. 6, so pay mind to last Hornets spread result!

WINNING POINTS

ARMED FORCES BOWL
(Fort Worth, TX)
Mid Tennessee State over Navy by 5
Navy rides into Fort Worth in excellent form, having won four straight after nearly
upsetting Notre Dame. In these five games, Navy’s dynamic quarterback Keenan
Reynolds scored 18 touchdowns and added four more scores through the air. The
Midshipmen are always well-disciplined and this year was a prime example. No team
committed fewer turnovers or was assessed fewer penalties. Nonetheless, we favor
Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders won eight games for the second straight season
and closed with a flourish, out-scoring their last three opponents by a combined 138-
38. In those three games, MTSU averaged 267 rushing yards despite little help from
leading rusher Jordan Parker, who was dealing with a hip injury. (Parker gained 85
yards on only seven carries in the finale.) Navy showed poorly in their last two bowl
games. Pushing the Army-Navy game back to the second Saturday in December – the
practice began in 2009 – apparently did Navy no favors. It appears relevant that
Middle Tennessee was exposed to the triple-option when they locked horns with
Georgia Tech last year. In one of the biggest upsets of the season, the Blue Raiders pre-
vailed 49-28. MID TENNESSEE STATE 35-30.

MUSIC CITY BOWL
(Nashville, TN)
Mississippi over Georgia Tech by 6
The Rebels opened the season in Nashville and will close it there, albeit at a different
venue. About that opener: It was a see-saw thriller that ended in favor of Ole Miss
when Jeff Scott reeled off a 75-yard TD run. Scott subsequently missed four games,
including the Egg Bowl, with a leg injury and was conspicuous by his absence. He has
been cleared to return. Georgia Tech finished 7-5 and, akin to Ole Miss, ended the
season with an overtime loss to their in-state rival. The Yellow Jackets played two
lower-division teams and were 3-6-1 ATS, but turned heads with a 56-0 demolition
of Syracuse. It helps to have extra time to prepare for an unorthodox offense. That
may explain Tech’s weak bowl ledger under Paul Johnson: 1-4 SU/ATS with the lone
victory coming last year in the Sun Bowl vs. disinterested Southern Cal. Ole Miss DC
Dave Wommack knows a thing or two about defending the triple-option. He served
in the same capacity for two seasons under Johnson at Georgia Tech. Mississippi has
injury issues in the offensive line and the secondary, but will sell more tickets and rep-
resents the stronger league. We lean to the Rebels. MISSISSIPPI 27-21

ALAMO BOWL(San Antonio, TX)
Oregon over Texas by 10
Oregon advanced to #2 in the AP poll after shellacking UCLA. Then things unrav-
eled. The Ducks lost two late-season games and were life-and-death to defeat Oregon
State, a 24-point underdog. Marcus Mariota was less than 100 percent during this
stretch, his mobility inhibited by a MCL strain. Mariota was pick-free through the
first 10 games and was then intercepted twice in each of his last two starts. The OU
defense, while nothing special, put up numbers comparable to last year despite the
departure of stalwarts Dion Jordan and Kiko Alonso. Texas fashioned a 6-game win-
ning streak during the middle of the season but couldn’t sustain the momentum. The
Longhorns were hurt by injuries. QB David Ash never returned after suffering a sec-
ond concussion in Game Four. His replacement, Case McCoy, was choppy. Prized
rookie Tyrone Swoopes, the star of the spring game, was taking reps with the first team
in bowl practices, an intriguing development. Mack Brown doesn’t seem like the sort
of coach to inspire a “win one for the Gipper” spirit, but his players have been very
vocal about the importance of sending him off on a winning note. We’re tempted to
take the points. OREGON 31-21

HOLIDAY BOWL (San Diego, CA)
Arizonal State over Texas Tech by 26Texas Tech’s fans never warmed to Tommy Tuberville. They cheered when Kliff
Kingsbury was hired. But the bloom is off the rose. Tuberville’s last two teams crum-
pled after promising starts, hamstrung by a flimsy defense, and nothing has changed.
Kingsbury’s Raiders opened 7-0 S/ATS and then did a complete U-turn. Injuries
forced TT to open the season with walk-on Baker Mayfield under center. He missed
four games with a sore knee, yielding his post to fellow freshman Davis Webb, and
would eventually quit the team. Michael Brewer, tops on the depth chart heading into
fall camp, reportedly starts today. Arizona State finished 10-3, losing to Notre Dame
and Stanford twice. The highlights of the season were victories over USC (62-21),
Washington (53-34), and arch-rival Arizona (58-21). Graham has been on the side-
line for four bowl games, three at Tulsa and one here. His teams were lights out in
those games, defeating Bowling Green, Ball State, Hawaii, and Navy by an average
score of 58-21. Graham can coach like blazes; the jury is still out on Kingsbury. ARI-
ZONA STATE 50-24
