The GMAC Bowl is going to be full of points, as both Bowling Green (8-4 SU, 7-4-1 ATS) and Tulsa (9-4 SU, 4-9 ATS) are averaging 32+ points a game. The GMAC Bowl is known for points and this one won't dissapoint. However, what do we do with the spread? One team has done well against the spread this year, and the other has been not so good, actually mirroring their Straight Up record.
Bowling Green (+5.5) vs. Tulsa
So, when you take into account that both offenses can score, then you have to start looking into how good their defenses are. The glaring stat of this game is that Tulsa has the 11th worst defense in the country! That means, no matter what, they are not going to stop anyone, much less a good offensive team. As long as Bowling Green gets a couple of stops, they should be home free. Also, a negative for Tulsa is they are under a first year coach, so planning for a Bowl game may be a little lax, and also they have lost 2 of the last 3 bowls. Go with the underdog in this one.
