Emerald Bowl

Emerald Bowl

Well, I dropped the ball again yesterday being that I didn’t provide a run down for the Motor City Bowl. I can’t even blame egg nog overdose for this latest mishap. 🙁 I will do my best to not let it happen again, but you will forgive me if I do it again, right?

Ok, let’s get to the real heart of the matter. UCLA has covered their last four games to improve to 8-3-1 ATS this season. In games played on grass, UCLA is 8-2 ATS this season. The Bruins’ defense has been especially hot, holding their last three opponents to 9.3 PPG. FSU has only covered twice in their last six games. FSU’s running game has been almost non-existent as of late. Over the last three games they have averaged just 48.3 RYPG. This isn’t good news for FSU bettors, as the UCLA “D” gives up less than 90 RYPG. Unless Florida State can become a diamond in the rough the Bruins should win this bowl easily.
