Boston College Eagles vs Duke Blue Devils Betting Pick & Prediction 2/10/24

Remember the Alamo....Bowl from last season? The Texas Longhorns drew an unmotivated, unconcerned Utah Utes team that had its College Football Playoff hopes dashed in the Pac-12 Championship Game loss to Oregon.

Well, UT is back in the Alamo Bowl this season and will face a more motivated, albeit less polished and talented, team from the Pac-12 in the Colorado Buffaloes. Texas’s motivation, among other things, seems to be in question based on the line movement we’ve seen for this one. Texas is down from early lines of -13 to -9.5 at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a> for Tuesday night’s affair. The total is 63.

This line got as low as -9 before reaching a point of resistance. Will it go back to 10? Which side appears to be the right one? We’ll discuss it all in this preview.
<h3><strong><u>Colorado</u></strong><strong><u> Buffaloes</u></strong></h3>
Not much was expected from Colorado this season. The Buffaloes had a first-year head coach in Karl Dorrell, who was hired pretty late in the process, and a lot of losses on the offensive side of the ball. Quarterback Steven Montez and wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. topped the list, but this was a Buffs offense that was likely to take several steps back.

Instead, the Buffaloes actually did better on a yards per play basis than last year’s version. Most importantly, the defense improved by leaps and bounds, though a shorter schedule and a rather lackluster conference could have been contributing factors. Still, Colorado went from 6.51 yards per play allowed in 2019 to 5.41 yards per play allowed.

Even with the hire of Dorrell, Colorado kept around defensive coordinator Tyson Summers and that move seemed to pay off in a big way. The Buffaloes did give up over 30 points three times, though, so they did well on a per-play basis, but had some untimely turnovers and some special teams mishaps.

Colorado quarterback Sam Noyer was banged up a bit at the end of the season, but should be in decent shape for the bowl game. He completed 58.4% of his throws with a 6/5 TD/INT ratio. He was only sacked six times and the Buffaloes opened up some holes in the ground game for Jarek Broussard, who led the team with 6.3 yards per carry. We’ll see how much running run the Buffs get against a Texas defense that has allowed 3.6 yards per carry.

<h3><strong><u>Texas</u></strong><strong><u> Longhorns</u></strong></h3>
Bet Tom Herman as an underdog. That’s what we’ve always heard. Well, we don’t get that luxury here in this one, as the Longhorns are nearly favored by double digits. There were some serious motivational questions after some players opted out before the regular season finale against Kansas State and the Longhorns hung 69 points in that game.

It will be interesting to see how invested they are here. There have been lots of rumors about a coaching change, but nothing has come to fruition yet. Even prior to the 69-point outburst against Kansas State, the Longhorns had exceeded 40 points four times, so this is a robust offense with Sam Ehlinger and the athletes at the skill positions.

Unfortunately, Brennan Eagles won’t be one of them as he focuses on preparation for the NFL Draft. Fortunately, Ehlinger spread the ball around well and Texas had multiple running backs that had good seasons, including Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson. Robinson had 6.8 yards per carry on his 76 tries.

The defense is where you worry about Texas in this one. Joseph Ossai opted out and so did a few others, including Ta’quon Graham, Chris Brown, and Cade Sterns. Texas will be playing a lot of depth guys and underclassmen in the back seven. Some of the guys that are on the fence about playing back there are also dealing with injuries. That would seem to be a catalyst for the line move that we’ve seen on this game.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
This line coming below double digits has left bettors with a big decision. There is obviously a reason behind the Colorado money. Likely multiple reasons. But, at 9.5 now, how can you take the Buffaloes with so much lost line value? On the other hand, can you play Texas with questionable motivation and a ton of opt-outs?

Perhaps the over is the way to go. The mantra from both coaches will be to go out there and have fun. That usually means putting up numbers. It means going for stats. Questionable effort typically shows up on the defensive side of the ball. Because it would seem that Texas’s offense has the much higher ceiling with a proven quarterback in Ehlinger, the Longhorns are probably the side now that we’re sitting at 9.5.
<h4><strong>Pick: Texas -9.5</strong></h4>

UNCG Spartans vs Mercer Bears Betting Pick & Prediction 2/24/24

Can the total on a baseball game tell us anything about which team will win? That's not really an easy question to answer, but there are a few indications that it does, especially when we get to games with high totals.

We'll use the last three seasons as our sample for this article and while that doesn't sound like much, remember it's twice as long as the NBA season and 10 times longer than the NFL season, so the number of games contained in that span is pretty significant.

For starters, let's look at the record and winning percentage of the favorite for each total, beginning with 5.5 and ending with 13.

5.5	2-0 (100%)
6.0	32-16 (66.7%)
6.5	125-98 (56.1%)
7.0	384-277 (58.1%)
7.5	687-459 (59.9%)
8.0	684-474 (59.1%)
8.5 	828-624 (57%)
9.0	624-469 (57.1%)
9.5	388-242 (61.6%)
10.0	165-103 (61.6%)
10.5	92-65 (58.6%)
11.0	52-44 (54.2%)
11.5	26-26 (50%)
12.0	19-12 (61.3)
12.5	11-12 (47.8%)
13	1-1 (50%)

If we were to break that down into two separate groupings, such as totals of 10 and under and totals of 10.5 and over, we'd see that in games with totals of 10 or less, favorites are 3919-2762, which is 58.7%.

In games where the total is 10.5 or higher, favorites are 201-160, which is 55.7%, or 3% less than games with lower totals. Blindly playing the underdogs in these games would have yielded a small flat-bet profit of $402 and an ROI of 1.1%, so we can use that as our foundation, but have a little bit of work to do to get it to a worthwhile winning percentage and return on our risk.

It's pretty simple in this case, as away underdogs with a total of 10.5 or higher have posted a 106-130 record, good for a profit of $1,210 and an ROI of 5%. Home underdogs are 54-71, but at a lower take price and would have resulted in a loss of $800 and a -6.5% ROI.

Now, if you read the <a href="http://bangthebook.com/rested-underdog-baseball-betting-system/"><strong>Rested Underdog Baseball Betting System</strong></a> that was just posted, you saw how rested underdogs have performed poorly, so if we look at away underdogs with no rest, our record would improve to 100-115 and have yielded a profit of $1925 and an ROI of 8.9% and if they are dogs of +120 or greater, our winning percentage drops slightly, but our return is greater, as these teams have gone 65-81 for a profit of $1,648 and an ROI of 11.2%.

Underdogs of less than +120 have actually posted a winning record, going 35-34, but show a small profit of $277 and an ROI of 4%, which isn't bad, but not quite as good as larger underdogs have fared.

To sum up, take unrested away underdogs of +120 or more in games where the total is at least 10.5.
