BetUs College Football Rundown

Bowl season kicks off this weekend with five of the 34 bowl games on the college football betting schedule on tap. Here’s a rundown of this weekend’s bowl sked:

New Orleans Bowl – Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana
Southern Miss vs. Troy

After a 2-6 start to the season it looked like the Golden Eagles’ chances at a bowl game were all but gone. However, a four-game winning streak to end the season left Southern Miss at 6-6 and kept their seven-consecutive-bowls streak intact. Southern Miss boasted the second-best scoring defense in Conference USA, and it carried them to the bowl season after allowing only 35 points in their last four games. Troy rolled through the Sun Belt this season with the top offense and defense in the conference. The Trojans missed the bowl season last year, and their last trip to a bowl game was also in the New Orleans Bowl in 2006. Southern Miss lost to Cincinnati in last year’s PapaJohns.com Bowl. The Trojans are a 4-point favorite versus Southern Miss.
