10 Units on NC State (+7) over Rutgers
North Carolina St. (6-6) vs. Rutgers (7-5)- This game features two teams that come in red hot. Rutgers winning their last 5 and NC State their last 4. The Wolfpack’s season turned around after some tough early season losses. Redshirt Freshman QB Russell Wilson has really stepped in and taken control of the offense and does a great job of not making costly mistakes, while still having the ability to make plays. Running Back Andre Brown should have a good day running the ball and help keep the explosive Rutgers offense off the field. Rutgers is a team that came into the season with high expectations and played horribly out of the gate. They have made an amazing recovery led by Senior QB Mike Teel and talented Wide Receiver Kenny Britt. Offensively they have shown the ability to score from anywhere on the field. Teel will look to end his career with a victory, but I don’t think it will happen. NC State has played a tough schedule and some of their tough losses have really helped them to mature as a football team, look for them to spring the upset in a tight game. NC State by 3-7.

15 Units on Northwestern (+13) over Missouri
Missouri (9-4) vs. Northwestern (9-3)- Northwestern couldn’t be happier to be in the Alamo Bowl. They came into the season expected to be at best a .500 team, and have shocked everybody with the season they’ve had. On the other hand, Missouri couldn’t be more disappointed to be in this game. The Tigers came into the season with National Championship aspirations, but have stumbled at every major hurdle throughout the year. Northwestern’s offense will be bolstered by the return of leading rusher Tyrell Sutton, who has missed the last four games with a wrist injury. The Wildcat offense should be able to put up enough points against a struggling Missouri defense to keep the game close. On the other side of the ball, Missouri features one of the nation’s most explosive offenses, orchestrated by QB Chase Daniel. He will look to get the ball into the hands of Jeremy Maclin any way he can, to allow Maclin to use his dynamic speed and running ability to find the endzone. They will also look to find All American tight end Chase Coffman. In the end, Missouri will have too much offensive firepower for Northwestern, but the Wildcats should keep it close into the 4th quarter. Missouri by 7-10.
