TICKET CITY CACTUS BOWL

WASHINGTON vs OKLAHOMA STATE
Friday, Jan. 2, 10:15 p.m. ET
ESPN

Update
​

Washington is the bet here, and I think they win this game by right around two touchdowns. Chris Petersen leads his team to a bowl game win in his first year with the Huskies, and does it in impressive fashion. Take the Huskies because I simply don?t believe that the Cowboys? defense will be able to slow down the Huskies, nor will they be able to put up enough points to get the win either. One of the few games the points went against us from the time we played this early on. One of my stronger plays of the week, lets close off a tremendous week with another Pac 12 winners.

WASHINGTON HUSKIES -5

After a slow start to bowl season it has picked up in a dramatic way. So once again we have had another winning bowl season. The totals have been atrocious but again they are only opinions and really dont make or break what we do. What has made this a fantastic bowl season has been the moneyline underdogs. We have hit so many and that possibly could turn this into one of the best ever if you possibly parlayed any of them. We posted them weeks ago with little understanding how they would create a snowball rolling downhill in a good way. Clemson, Boise State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Ohio State all coming thru recently just maximizes the few games that are left. Here is the records for this year posted at BangtheBook and our website.

BIRMINGHAM BOWL

EAST CAROLINA vs FLORIDA
Saturday, Jan. 3, 12:00 p.m. ET
ESPN2

Update

​

This is going to be a close game, and it?ll come down to the home stretch. I think that ECU gets the job done though, and I?ll happily take them getting this many points. Don?t be surprised to see the Pirates grab the win here, but in a worst-case scenario, I?m rolling with the Pirates with all of those points against a Gators? team who is dealing with plenty of their own problems. Very tough game and really just a strong opinion but do also like the Over in a high scoring game.

EAST CAROLINA +8
EAST CAROLINA / FLORIDA OVER 52 POINTS

GODADDY BOWL

TOLEDO vs ARKANSAS STATE
Sunday, Jan 4, 9:00 p.m. ET
ESPN
Update
​

I think this one comes down to a field goal one way or the other. So what?s that mean? It means I?m rolling with the Red Wolves and getting four points in the matchup. It?s a pretty evenly matched game, and Arkansas State could definitely pull the upset when all is said and done. Play it safe though, and take the points. Ending a profitable but disappointing bowl season with Arkansas State to close it out in style in a low scoring game considering the total is so high.

ARKANSAS STATE RED WOLVES +4

ARKANSAS STATE / TOLEDO UNDER 71 POINTS

COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

OHIO ST vs. OREGON
Monday, Jan. 12, 8:30 p.m.ET
ESPN
​

It?s time for the college football national title game. This game is slated for Monday night at the AT+T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. The two teams in this game are the champions of the Pac-12, against the winners of the Big-10. The Oregon Ducks will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Oregon comes into the game fresh off their blow-out win over the Florida State Seminoles last week. The Ducks won the Pac-12 title game over Arizona, who was their lone loss on the season. For Ohio State, they lost an early season game to Virginia Tech, and then went on to blow-out Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game.

Oregon Hit With Suspension

The Oregon Ducks found out one of their top receivers; Darren Carrington will miss the title game due to a failed drug test. Carrington was second on the team with 37 receptions and 4 touchdowns. Oregon?s bread and butter was their quarterback Marcus Mariota. The Heisman winner threw for 4,100+ yards and 40 touchdowns.

The Oregon offense was second in the country with just over 47 points per game. The Ducks rushed for 241 yards per game, and passed for more than 310. The Ducks top running threat was Royce Freeman, who finished with 1,300+ yards and 18 touchdowns. Oregon scored 30 or more in every game this season, except for their loss to Arizona.

Ohio State Poised to Win it All

The Ohio State Buckeyes are down to their third straight quarterback. Cardale Jones is the third stringer, who has won both the Big Ten title game and a win over Alabama. Jones has completed 40 of 69 passes for 618 yards and 6 touchdowns. The top threat for the Ohio State offense has been running back Ezekial Elliott with 14 touchdowns from the run.

Ohio State?s defense has been pretty solid this season; ranking 26th in the country, allowing 22.1 points per game. The Buckeyes have scored 42 points in three of their last four games, with their other being 59 in the Big Ten title game. Ohio State scored 31 or more points in all of their wins; and just 24 in their lone loss.

PICK
​

This should be a really fun football game. These two teams are both fun to watch, and should put on quite a show. When push comes to shove, the offense of Oregon is just too much for the Buckeyes. The total listed for this game is at 75, and we are not sure it will get that high. The Buckeyes will want to keep the score in the 30?s or under. We like Oregon to score early and get off to a good start. The Ducks come into the game as a touchdown favorite over Ohio State. We feel like Oregon is going to come away with the win in this game along with the fact that we played Oregon in some futures back in November posted at the forum, but the Buckeyes will find a way to keep it close, and possibly cover. Our final bet is truly up in the air. I think you have to take the points and make sure you grab a touchdown with Ohio State. But lets come back on game day and see if a Totals opportunity presents itself that may be a better bet. Oregon to win the National Championship in a close game.

OHIO STATE BUCKEYES +7
