At 2 pm, on Monday, our selection is on the Pittsburgh Panthers + the points over Stanford. The Panthers come into this Sun Bowl game off back to back blowout losses. They fell, 24-3, to Miami in their final
regular season game. And then they lost, 42-10, to Clemson in the ACC Championship game. But one of the things I love to do is in the post-season is play on teams off back to back blowout losses. For example, underdogs of more than 3 points off back to back defeats by 21+ points have gone 12-0 ATS. Moreover, underdogs that didn't score 14+ points in their final two games have also cashed 71% in the Bowls the past 39 years. Indeed, we just saw both of these two angles in play a couple days ago in the Independence Bowl when Duke smashed Temple, 56-27, as a 3.5-point underdog, after losing 35-6 to Clemson and 59-7 to Wake Forest in their final two games to end the season. Additionally,
this Sun Bowl game in El Paso has long been good to the underdog. Since 1980, they've cashed 90% (18-2 ATS) when catching 3.5 or more points. Finally, Pittsburgh falls into several of my favorite Bowl systems, with records of 93-38, 119-61 and 24-7 ATS. Take the Panthers. Good luck,
as always...Al McMordie.
