The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders’ 2014 NCAA Football season was a roller coaster of a year. Many times were they were inconsistent on both sides of the ball, while other times they looked unstoppable. They won back-to-back games just one time and fell three points short at UTEP in their season finale to miss out on a postseason bowl.
Blue Raiders vs Midshipmen Gambling Odds
Middle Tennessee was bowl eligible last year, but was passed over. They still have a chip on their shoulder and will look to impress in the Armed Forces Bowl. This is Navy’s first Armed Forces Bowl game and will look to win in this spot.
The Betting Numbers
Southern Mississippi opened as a three-point favorite and the line has gradually risen to -3.5 with also a few -4’s in the mix. I expect this line to go up even more by gametime so if you are going to be taking the Golden Eagles, it is best to do it sooner rather than later. The total opened at 60 and has come down as far at 57.5 with the majority of shops sitting on 58 early in the week.
