MILITARY BOWL
Annapolis, MD
VA Tech vs. Cincinnati (-2-) 1:00 ET ESPN

This is a matchup of old-school Beamer Ball and the high-scoring offense of the Cincinnati Bearcats. Once again to close the season, VA Tech was life and death for Bowl eligibility, needing to win their final game at home against rival Virginia (24-20) to qualify. But the 5-7 ATS log for the season, now drops Beamer to 17-34 ATS. The special teams’ magic is gone, DC Foster has failed to update his defensive coverage and, as usual, the VA Tech QB showed little resemblance to the dual threat athletes of many of the major programs. This year’s starter, QB Brewer, had a 17/14 ratio. The only remaining sign of success is that the fundamental conservative style of the Hokies has resulted in the underdog being 16-7 ATS in their games of late. But, they will be hard-pressed to keep up with the fast-paced style of the Bearcats under HC Tuberville. Cincinnati enters as one of the hottest teams on the CFB landscape with 7 consecutive victories, a 6-0-1 ATS mark and the rifle arm of QB Kiel. The Bearcats are building a Bowl tradition of their own with a program that has recorded 10+ wins in 5/7 years and is now appearing in their 8th Bowl in the last 9 years. Should the Hokies fall behind in this, it would be a monumental task for them to catch up.

Saturday's Play

The Cali-Cartel has a 50 Dime play on Cincinnati against V-Tech in the Military Bowl in Annapolis, Maryland. The Bearcats are -2' to -3 at the Vegas and offshore books I've checked as of 5:10 A.M. Eastern. As a former Bookmaker - and son of a former Bookmaker - I would strongly encourage you to buy the half-point insurance down on Cincy if your price is anywhere between -3 and -4 1/2.
