This Saturday, a bowl game that harkens back to the Middle Ages with the University of Central Florida Knights and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights meeting in the St. Petersburg Bowl wagering. The line in this one is much tighter than others at Sportsbetting.com with Rutgers 2.5-point wagering lines faves with the Total set at 44.5. All the intense college football bowl wagering goes down this Saturday night at 8pm ET live nation-wide on ESPN.
The Scarlet Knights are -140 on the moneyline and in their last 20 games overall are 15-5 straight up. The UCF Knights (+120 on the ML) are a decent 7-4 SU in their last 11 games overall but have been a very profitable 9-2 ATS in their last 11 starts.
Meanwhile, Rutgers has been atrocious when favored by 4-points or less, going 2-7 ATS in their last nine in that situation. Central Florida is 8-4 ATS in their last 12 when an underdog of 4-points or less.

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.

Army and Navy get the college football wagering spotlight on Saturday as they meet for the 110th time in game that can be seen on CBS at 2:30pm ET. There is always a lot of emotion when these two teams get together and this year has some added spice as Army can get into a bowl game with a win. If the Black Knights can find a way to upset Navy they would get to play in the EagleBank Bowl against Temple. If they lose, that bid goes to UCLA. Navy is a 14 point wagering lines favorite with a total of 41 at SBG Global.
While Army does have some extra incentive, Navy has more talent. Navy is 8-4 on the season and headed to the Texas Bowl to face Missouri. Navy has won the last six Commander-In-Chief’s Trophies and they hold the 53-49-7 advantage in the all-time series against Army including seven straight wins. Last year Navy won 34-0.
Army runs the ball for 221.1 yards per game, led by freshman QB Trent Steelman. Army doesn’t have much of a passing threat which is too bad since that is the area where Navy is weakest. Army may have to find a way to get Ali Villanueva involved in the offense. He leads the team in receiving yards with 460.
Army has a solid defense that is allowing just 22.4 points per game but they are not that good against the run and that is a huge problem against Navy. Army is also without their best college football wagering defender, linebacker Stephen Anderson, who has a torn ACL.
Navy is third in the country in rushing at 279.7 yards per game. Quarterback Ricky Dobbs has 924 yards and 23 TDs this season. Navy’s defense is allowing 21.3 points per game this season.
The Black Knights are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Black Knights are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. The Black Knights are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games in December. The Black Knights are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 meetings against Navy.
