College Football GMAC Bowl January 6th Ball St Cardinals versus Tulsa Golden Hurricane (+2.5) (8PM ET) (ESPN)
We have two explosive offenses meeting up in Mobile Alabama for the GMAC Bowl. Tulsa averages 47 points per game while Ball ST 36. Total offense Ball St 459 yards a game and Tulsa 565. As both offenses are explosive there is a clear-cut better defense here and that belongs to Ball St. The Cardinals only give up an average of 18 points per game. Tulsa faced a very soft schedule early and punished the bad defenses of SMU, UAB, Rice, UTEP, Tulane and North Texas to really pad those offensive stats. But when they faced Arkansas they only put up 23 points and only 24 in the Conference USA Title game in their home stadium to East Carolina. Ball Sts loss to Buffalo in the MAC Championship was marred by mistakes and thats something that the Cardinals avoided making most of the season. The Buffalo game was an aberration. Ball St quarterback Nate Davis hit on 66% of his passes this season with 26 TDs and only 7 interceptions. Cardinals running back MiQuale Lewis had 1700 rushing yards and 22 TDs on the season. His 5.6 yards per rushing attempt is key to the Cardinals balance on offense. Behind an outstanding offense and a defense that will get more stops take Ball St 2 ½.
Selection: Ball St 2 1/2
lol "Ball St. has a much better defense" So mr. exactly how many points did Tulsa score?Like 40+.And how many points did Ball St. score against that horrible Hurricane defense?I think it was like 13.Come on man after this game,the OU-Tech game,and the Utah-Bama game,I'd consider finding a new job.

Games not over yet but it looks like I was right since it is 45-13. It's weird that a lot of people who get paid to pick these games go 50%, 60%, maybe 70% on a great weekend, but I am over 70% right now on the bowl games. Were it not for Ohio State's miracle not blow out against Texas I would be over 80% with an oklahoma win in the NC Game. Ball State over tulsa? really though?
