SMU vs Nevada College Bowl Wagering Lines
Nevada may be a double-digit favorite in the college football wagering Hawaii Bowl on Thursday night at 8pm ET but SMU is likely to have the home crowd edge. The Mustangs are coached by former Hawaii coach June Jones and he is likely to get a lot of support from the Hawaii fans. This will be the first bowl game for SMU in 25 years. Nevada is a 12.5 point wagering lines favorite with a total of 72.5 at SBG Global. Watch all sports wagering action live tonight on ESPN!
In Jones’ first season the Mustangs went 1-11 but he turned things around this season and ended the losing at SMU. The Mustangs were very streaking this season as they won two straight, lost four of five and then won four of five to finish 7-5. Now SMU gets to play in the Hawaii Bowl, a game in which Jones is very familiar. "I am so happy that our players will be able to have this experience," said Jones, "Reaching our first bowl game in 25 years is special – not only for our current student-athletes, but also for the guys who came before them."
There is no question a lot of points are going to be scored on Thursday. SMU is led by running back Shawnbrey McNeal and freshman quarterback Kyle Padron who threw for 1,462 yards and eight touchdowns in six games. They also have Emmanuel Sanders who had 91 catches and 1,215 yards.
Nevada made NCAA history this season with three 1,000 yard rushers. They have the best rushing attack in the country and they were second in total offense at 521.6 yards per game. "What we’ve done on offense this year, it is special," coach Chris Ault said. "It all starts with the guys up front. And the biggest part of it is (Colin Kaepernick) he is the trigger man on the whole deal." Kaepernick ran for a career-high 1,160 yards and 16 TDs this college football wagering lines season.
Neither one of these defense is any good so points should be easy to come by. Nevada can’t stop the pass and SMU can’t stop the run. The Mustangs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. The Mustangs are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 non-conference games.
The Wolf Pack are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Wolf Pack are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. The Over is 5-1 in the Mustangs last 6 vs. the WAC. The Under is 7-3-1 in the Mustangs last 11 games as an underdog. The Over is 5-2 in the Wolf Pack’s last 7 games overall.

Fresno State vs Wyoming Wagering Lines
Fresno State is heavily favored in the college football wagering New Mexico Bowl on Saturday against a Wyoming team that finished the season at 6-6. Fresno was 8-4 overall this season and features a powerful offense led by running back Ryan Mathews who led the nation in rushing at 151.3 yards per game. That does not bode well for Wyoming since they allowed more than 170 yards per game on the ground this season. Fresno State is an 11.5 point wagering lines favorite at SBG Global with a total of 55. The New Mexico Bowl begins this Saturday, December 19th at 4:30pm ET, televised live nation-wide on ESPN.
This game on ESPN could turn into a blowout if Wyoming is not able to slow down Fresno’s rushing attack. What also is a concern for Wyoming is their ability to move the ball. Their offense simply isn’t very good and the Cowboys are only in a bowl game because they played a weak schedule. The one thing that helps Wyoming is that they are happy to be in a bowl game since they have missed out the last four seasons.
Wyoming has not beaten a team with a winning record all college football wagering season so they have a tough task in the New Mexico Bowl. In fact, they only scored one touchdown all season against a team that had a winning record.
What does help the Cowboys is that they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. the WAC and they are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. The Cowboys are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 non-conference games. The concern though, as previously mentioned is that they don’t beat winning teams. The Cowboys are 3-13-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Taking Fresno as a favorite is no bargain though. The Bulldogs are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games as a favorite. They are 9-26 ATS in their last 35 games on grass and they are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. the Mountain West Conference.
Looking at the total we see that the Under is 13-6 in the Cowboys last 19 non-conference games but the Over is 5-1 in the Bulldogs last 6 non-conference games. The Over is 6-2 in the Bulldogs last 8 bowl games.
