2009-2010 NCAA Football Bowl Kickoff: New Mexico, St. Petersburg and New Orleans Bowl Previews!
In terms of full disclosure we were 94-81-3 on the season picking NCAA football games. We are wiping the slate clean because bowl games are a completely different animal than the regular season and we think they are far more predictable. There are tried and true bowl betting strategies, like the underdog who gives up less than 100 yards rushing on defense, that we will never sway from. We also have our own juju that we use to exploit the matchups. Remember, we have this website because we went 18-3 picking bowl games a few years ago and our friends begged us to publish our picks for all to see. We think the 2009-2010 Bowl season provides an unprecedented level of opportunity and we are ready to pounce. We are going to write up every single bowl game this year and we are going to tell you why you need to bet the game and/or why you need to watch the game. So lets get this money making party started!

New Mexico Bowl - Wyoming versus Fresno State (-10.5) - We love this matchup. Pat Hill’s team are nasty farm boys that always come to play and are always physical. Wyoming is in its first bowl in five years and will simply be happy to be here. Fresno State’s offense gets overlooked by conference rivals Boise State and Nevada, but Fresno State has one of the most solid rushing attacks in the country. Fresno State runs for 231.6 yards per game, a stat that certainly bodes well against Wyoming and a defense that gives up more than 170 yards per game, ranking outside the top 90. So why do you watch this game? For Ryan Mathews. Quietly, Fresno State running back Ryan Mathews rose to the top of the Football Bowl Subdivision statistical rankings. Mathews, who ran for more than 170 yards and three touchdowns against the Illini, leads the nation in rushing yards per game with 151.3. The junior averages more than one touchdown per game through 25 career games and has rushed for more than 2,600 yards, the fourth-most in school history. If the Cowboys hope to succeed in their goal of not only getting to a bowl, but winning it, they’ll need to do something they haven’t done all year — beat a team with a winning record. Yeah you read that right. UW has scored just one touchdown against such teams this season, and that came on a gadget play at Utah. Blowout city baby!!! We are all over Fresno State to win and cover!!
