College Football Betting - New Orleans Bowl: Owls vs. Tigers
The New
Orleans Bowl could turn into one
of the most exciting games to watch in this
2007 college football bowl betting season.
Both offenses can light up the scoreboard
and both possess defenses that, while not
bad, will certainly be tested in this matchup.
This game should come down to the wire and
will, in all likelihood be won by the team
that wins the turnover battle.
Florida Atlantic
Owls –2.5 vs. Memphis
Tigers +2.5
Thanks to the
arm of quarterback Martin Hankins, the
Tigers have put up some of the nbest offensive
numbers in school history. The passing
attack ranks 13th in the nation, led by
Hankins’ 22 TDs vs. just 12
INTs. His main targets have been Duke Calhoun
and Carlos Singleton, the 6-foot-8 red zone
monster who leads the team with 10 touchdowns.
They will be challenged by a secondary that
has tallied 17 INTs this season, but many
of those came against inferior opponents.
Still, a defense that ranks first in turnover
margin, at plus-19, is nothing to be taken
lightly. The Tigers will have to take care
of the football and use the running game
to set up the pass. If they fail to get a
running game established, they will lose
the turnover battle and this game.
Running back
Joseph Doss will get the rock for most
of the game, but he won’t
have an easy time against the tough run defense
of the Owls. The Owls’ linebackers
will try to stop Doss early so they can focus
on getting to Hankins in the pocket. However,
that battle will not be easy, either, as
the Tigers offensive line is good, and they
don’t let their pass protection crumble
without a fight, having allowed just 13 sacks
all season.
New Orleans Bowl @ Louisiana Superdome:
8 PM, Friday, December 21, 2007
A key battle for covering the 2.5-point
football betting spread will take place as
Owls CB Tavious Polo takes on Carlos Singleton
in the secondary. Polo is fast and had a
good nose for the ball. He leads his squad
with seven INTs and should be able to run
with Singleton. He may have problems in the
red zone, though, where size could become
more of an issue. He stands 5-foot-ten; almost
a foot shorter than his rival.
