College Football Bets for Friday, November 27 Originally Updated 11/27 9:30 AM ET # OF PLAYS = (7 PLAYS FOR 30.5% BANKROLL RISK)
WYOMING +3 (8%)
One of the more underrated games of the day according to the betting public. All the high profile teams will get 90% of the action, leaving solid action for us value seekers with games like these.
Bottom line, we can't see any reason why the Rams should be favored in this game. They have zilch to play for besides ending their 8 game slide. This is truly one of the worst teams in college football right now and laying 3 points against anyone is unbelievable.
Believe it or not, Wyoming is actually a decent team with a lot to play for in this game. Wyoming, picked to finish last in the Mountain West Conference, has a chance to wind up fifth in the league with a victory over Border War rival Colorado State on Saturday in Fort Collins. The bonus will be a postseason berth, which would be Wyoming's first since 2004.
This is also a sweet revenge spot here for the Cowboys losing this game on their home field last season to the tune of 31-20 in a thrilling come from behind victory that actually gave the Rams bowl eligibility. Now the tables have flipped as Wyoming comes into this situation in a must win game to secure a playoff berth.
The Rams have only 2 covers all season, 2 covers!! That being said, the Rams not only do not cover in this game, but they most likely will lose this one outright. However getting a field goal is too much value to pass up here, take the points.
COLORADO +10.5 (5%)
We have had some success fading Nebraska as big favorites who always seem to be giving too many points in these Big 12 Rivalry games. Strip this one down to the bones and it's still a tough conference rival. And asking to lay all these points on the road is a tough task. Especially since no matter what happens today, the Huskers will be playing in the Big 12 title game next week against Texas, win or lose. The Buffs on the other hand are playing tough down the stretch despite being 1-2 the last 3 games they could easily be 3-0. They came close to upsetting Oklahoma State on the road.
We believe the Buffs will put together a positive performance in their season closer on the home field. Although they may not win, they should put together enough offense to keep this one within the roomy inflated impost. Take the points.
AUBURN +10 (5%)
This is just a solid situational spot for Auburn today in the Iron Bowl. They have been cash money as double digit conference dogs posting a 4-1 ATS record in this spot. This Auburn squad has also brought home the cash in these weekday home games posting a solid 3-1 ATS record in these affairs.
Aside from the technical aspects, it's simply tough for an undefeated team going on the road and laying double digits in these conference matchups. That being said, the Tigers will most likely give their best effort all season right here to unseat Alabama from the undefeated list. Coach Gene Chizik and Auburn’s players consider the Auburn-Alabama rivalry one of the biggest in college football and we believe they give an all out effort to win this game.
Look for the Tigers to keep this one within striking distance and push for the win down the stretch. We wouldn't be entirely surprised for an upset in the making. Take the points.
NEVADA +14 (5%)
It's tough to be against Boise State on the blue turf, however if there were one team that can take them to the wire, it's Nevada. After an 0-3 start, this team has turned the ship around. A Nevada win gives the Wolf Pack an outright league title tonight so the motivation is definitely there.
To date this season, Nevada will be Boise State's biggest hurdle. Not that oregon wasn't one, it's simply that this late in the season games get much tougher. With the WAC title on the line, Nevada will give the Broncos everything they can handle. Nevada is one of the hottest teams in the country right now with 8 straight wins most of them being routs. They run the pistol formation as good as anyone in the history of college football and will give the Broncos different looks then they have seen all season. What makes Nevada so difficult to defense is their powere running game and time consumption. The Wolf Pack has set a bevy of records, including becoming the first FBS team to have three 1,000-yard rushers in the same season. Nevada has 529 rushing attempts and 242 pass attempts this year, which is amazing when you look at the scores of some of their games.
The last two meetings between these two teams have been close as Nevada is closing the gap in recruiting getting talented position players like Boise State. This year may just be the year Nevada finally closes the gap and beats them after 9 consecutive SU losses. Remember the game in 2007 that went to 4 OT's? We wouldn't be surprised if Nevada pulls the upset making the points here a must have. Before this line opened we had Boise by 6 points and were extremely surprised to see this type of roomy impost. Take the points.
Hmmm I don't have any action in the Wyoming game, but they do seem like a smart play. I actually went against you in the other three though. GL today though
