BOWLING GREEN vs. IDAHO (Roady’s Humanitarian, December 30)...Ugh! First Idaho bowl since this game in ‘98 when it upset Southern Miss. Akey faded at end TY when dropping last 5 vs. number, but Vandals had covered first 7 TY and 10 of previous 11. Idaho covered all 4 vs. non-WAC foes TY. Akey also 9-4 last 13 as dog. Falcs won and covered their last 4 TY and have played on this field before, losing but covering LY vs. Boise, 20-7. Falcs also 11-2 vs. line away from home since LY (2-2 as road chalk TY). Note MAC 0- 5 vs. line in bowls LY. Tech edge-slight to Idaho, based on team trends.

NEBRASKA vs. ARIZONA (Holiday, December 30)...Huskers “under” 10- 3 TY, Arizona “under” 5 of last 6 in ‘09. Cats only dropped 1 of last 7 vs. number TY (5-1-1), and Stoops 18-9-1 vs. number since late ‘07. Very short price, but Bo Pelini was 3-0 as dog TY. Tech edge-“Under” and slight to Arizona, based on “totals” and team trends.
