Sun Bowl: Oregon St. vs Missouri @ El Paso, TX

Oregon St -3
I got the itch and I got it bad. There are 5 games today and I can’t let them all go by without playing at least one of them. I don’t have a plethora of knowledge on any one of the matchups, but I was able to pull enough information on the Oregon St/Missouri game to make a modest play. Last night’s 4-star Rutgers win has my NCAA earnings a little closer to the black and it creates a little bit of a comfort zone for me to do a little gambling today and still preserve some cash for some later games that I really like.

There are few stats in football that carry as much significance as Rushing. When a team is able to run the ball effectively for an entire year and they play a team that has struggled against the run all year, you can assume with some confidence that those trends will reveal themselves when the teams play. Missouri has allowed over 200 yards rushing per game over their last 6 and Oregon St loves to run the ball. It should also be noted that the Beavers played a better schedule than the Tigers and have some very impressive wins (at Hawaii, USC) and Missouri doesn’t. Again, there isn’t much I can sink my teeth into, but I have found enough to take Oregon St and give the points for 1-star.

REVIEW: Oregon St. 39 – Missouri 38

OT was the last hope. All games should be this exciting.
