Doc's Sports
5 Unit Play. Take #197 Boise State Broncos -9.5 over Washington Huskies (8p.m., Saturday, December 13 ABC) Just do not expect Boise State to get blown out in this bowl game. They played last week and looked impressive, and I feel the short turnaround will help them in this game. Boise State is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 bowl games and I expect Coach Danielson is eager to get a bowl game victory on his resume. The Huskies were up to try and knock out the Ducks from the playoffs in their regular season finale, but they could only muster 14 points at home. I see them struggling to blow out Boise State questioning their motivation to do such a thing.Robert Ferringo
SATURDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL SELECTION1-Unit Play. Take #197 Boise State (+9.5) over Washington (8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 13)
Note: This is the L.A. Bowl.
I just think this is a bigger game for the Broncos than it is for the Huskies. I don't think Washington cares very much about playing in this game. But Boise always gets up for a chance to take out one of the big boys. Bowl underdogs on a winning streak have traditionally been strong value plays in the postseason and I think the Broncos will lose valiantly.
WEDNESDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL SELECTION
1-Unit Play. Take #204 Delaware (+3.5) over UL-Lafayette (8 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 17)
Note: This is the Ventures Bowl.
Delaware is bowling! These guys made the step up from the FCS and went 6-6. I think they are going to be stoked to play in this bowl game. Delaware beat a pretty good Connecticut team and they have two losses by just a field goal. Lafayette doesn’t really have any good wins this season. They needed to win out with four straight just to make it to .500. They did, but I think that’s where it ends. The Cajuns had four of their six wins come by four points or fewer, including each of their last three. They are on borrowed time and I’ll go with the Blue Hens here.
Carpe diem. Good luck.

NCAAF2-Unit Play. Take #454 Navy Team Total Over (21.5) vs Army (3 p.m., Saturday, December 13)
The Navy offense has been very reliable this season; on the year, the Midshipmen are averaging 32.5 points per game. Last year, head-to-head, Navy won 31-13, and this year will show a similar output for Navy. Take the Navy team total over 21.5 points.

4-Unit Play. Take #308950 Montana State (-12.5 -120) vs Stephen F Austin (9 p.m., Fri, Dec. 12)Great spot for Bobcats. They played the majority of their road games out of state and are a much deeper and well-rounded team. Now they are at home for this game but all the travels served them well this season and this is in stark contrast to Stephen F Austin. The only time the Lumberjacks left the state of Texas it was right next door to Louisiana to face Northwestern State and that is only about a 2 hour drive east! The point is that the Lumberjacks are really doing something unusual for the program with this long road trip to Bozeman. Not only does Montana State have a significant home field edge here, they also are the better team defensively and also had a tougher strength of schedule. That said, don't let this big number keep you away. The home team rolls big here. 4* MONTANA STATE -12.5 -120
7-Unit Play. Take #197 Boise State (+9.5) vs Washington (8 p.m., Sat, Dec. 13)
This is in the Bucked Up LA Bowl at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. The Huskies are getting a lot of love but Boise State looked like a different team once they had Madsen back at QB again. I also believe the short preparation time for this bowl game makes it even tougher for one team to just step in and completely dominate. Yes, the Huskies come from the tougher Big Ten conference but let's not forget that 4 of their 5 Big Ten wins were against teams that went a combined 6-30 in the Big Ten this season! The Huskies only impressive win of the 5 was that they did beat the Illini but Illinois did seem to fade quite a bit after their shocker win over USC. The Illini were not impressive after that and fell out of the Top 25. Also, the Huskies were catching the Illini off that win over the Trojans so that was certainly a factor as well. The point is that Washington is truly over-valued here and I believe the Broncos are strong enough to hang within a single digit margin in this one! After the Illini beat USC their only other wins were against teams that ended up 7-29 in the Big Ten plus Illinois did lose to Wisconsin too. I mention all this because, again, Washington does seem a little over-valued with that as their "signature win" for the season. Yes, the Huskies are a Big Ten team but they are not an upper tier Big Ten team and note that the Broncos are 7-1 in the last 8 games Madsen was able to complete for them this season (injured in Fresno game). The only loss in the bunch was the Notre Dame game when Madsen threw 4 picks. His ratio in the other starts was 18-3 and, by the way, in that 28-7 loss to ND, Boise was only outgained by 74 yards. It was a turnover-fueled defeat and you know Madsen is ready to make up for that here now that he is healthy and gets his first chance since then in terms of facing a tough non-conference opponent. With all the factors above, we have a ton of value here. Remember the Broncos loss to start the season against South Florida was also turnover-fueled with 3 fumbles being the difference. Boise State actually outgained the Bulls in the 34-7 loss! The losses to ND and USF both are helping to give us a ton of value here and I will not pass it up! 7* BOISE STATE +9.5
3-Unit Play. Take #199 Troy (-2.5) vs Jacksonville State (9 p.m., Tue, Dec. 16)
Troy has played the much tougher schedule and also is the much better team from a special teams perspective. With this one projected to be a tight game, that certainly can be a key factor. What I like about the Trojans here also is that this line was a high as a -4 and now, as of Thursday afternoon, has dipped down to as low as a -2.5 which is a fantastic value on the small favorite. Laying the points here with the more battle-tested team that has faced the tougher competition already and will surprise many here in terms of how they perform when facing a weaker foe. This is a much easier game for the Trojans then the opponent they faced in their conference championship game and it is also a much tougher foe for the Gamecocks then Kennesaw State and they did lose that game. Grab the team that faced the tougher opposition this year! 3* TROY -2.5
3-Unit Play. Take #204 Delaware (+3.5 -115) vs UL Lafayette (8:30 p.m., Wed, Dec. 17)
Delaware's first bowl game and they are very excited to be here. I know UL Lafayette has the location edge but we have seen this before for the Ragin Cajuns in bowl games and it has not mattered. In fact for them it would be much more exciting to actually travel somewhere for a bigger bowl but of course that is not happening. That being said, I love the excitement level this Delaware program has for this one and in this early bowl season match-ups the motivation becomes such a huge factor. I like the Blue Hens in the passing game here as they have the better wideouts and better defensive backs so they are the better team on both sides of the ball when it comes to the passing attack. Remember the Blue Hens were a playoff team at the FCS level for 3 straight years and they are flying under the radar here in their first bowl game and I look for them to surprise in this one. ULL has the better ground game but the Hens passing attack will be the difference maker here! 3* DELAWARE +3.5 -115

COLLEGE FOOTBALL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP2 Unit Play. Take #197 Over 52.5 Boise St vs Washington (8:00p.m., Saturday December 13 LA Bowl - ABC)
Look for Boise St to lean on their running game like they did against UNLV and we should see both teams scoring at will. Boise St is averaging 37ppg in their last 3 games and if the Huskies scored 48 points against UCLA and 49 points against Purdue so we should see both teams scoring quickly.
3 Unit Play. Take #199 Under 46.5 Troy vs Jacksonville St (9:00p.m., Tuesday December 16 Veterans Bowl - ESPN)
This Veterans Bowl total opened around 50 and quickly has been bet downward but I still see value. The Troy Trojans last 5 games all 5 of them have gone ‘Under’ the total and I see their defense slowing down the JSU Gamecocks.
4 Unit Play. Take #202 South Florida -3 over Old Dominion (5:00p.m., Wednesday December 17 – Cure Bowl - ESPN)
South Florida HC is moving on to coach Auburn and he is taking some key players with him but I still the Bulls winning the Cure Bowl. The Bulls ranked 10th in rushing in all FBS and if the Monarchs can’t stop the run this should be an easy USF win. Old Dominion comes into this bowl game winning five-straight, but they didn’t play a schedule like USF. The South Florida Bulls have won 10-Straight games against Sun Belt Conference opponents and the Bulls have covered 5 out of their last 7 games.

Take Navy (-6) over Army
*3 EST
Yard per play is a big deal in CFB. Navy is #12 in YPP and Army is #122 in YPP. Navy is a solid 9-2 team, Horvath is a stud at QB and they should be able to move the chains at will against Army. Even though these 2 split the last 4 years on wins, Navy has outgained Army by an average of 107 yards per game. Army lost their QB mid season and he was a good one, and one that could throw the ball which made them dangerous. Navy has wins over South Florida and Memphis, 2 really good teams. The bested Memphis who is far superior to that of Army, by 11 points and that was a road game. Their offense is flat out better and their QB is a huge playmaker. Navy by 10+.

6-Unit Play: Take 201 Old Dominion +3.5 over So. Florida (5 p.m., Wednesday, December 17)I’m taking the points with Old Dominion in Wednesday’s Cure Bowl. Both teams will have backup QBs starting this game but Byrum Brown is going to be much tougher for South Florida to replace. Brown accounted for 42 TDs, including 28 through the air and 14 on the ground. He threw for more than 3,000 yards and rushed for 1,008. Brown will serve as an assistant coach. Former HC Alex Golesh will not coach the Bulls after taking the Auburn job. USF will be coached by their defensive line coach and the Bulls’ defense left a lot to be desired. Old Dom has a better option at QB with Quinn Henicle stepping in for Colton Joseph, who had similar rushing numbers as Byrum Brown. Henicle is a big kid who has averaged 7.1 yards per carry in 54 rushing attempts at ODU. The Monarchs really are about their style and they’re set at HC. Sharp money has moved the line towards ODU and I agree. I’m taking the points with Old Dominion. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
August Young
4-Unit Play - (453) Army/Navy o38 -110 (12/13 | 3:00PM EST) This is a principle bet and a fade of the historical angle of going under. The market adjusted years ago, and although we've still had some unders hit and be profitable in that time; that's simple variance. This number is too low, and over the next while we expect the over to become the money maker, including here.Strike Point Sports
