Bowling Green Falcons Vs Tulsa Golden Hurricanes
1/6/08
by Kris Lazaro
The Bowling Green Falcons and the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes hook up this Sunday, January 6th, 2008 for the final bowl game of the season before the National Championship Game this upcoming Monday. The Falcons will tangle against the Golden Hurricanes in the annual GMAC Bowl, to be held at Ladd Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama. Oddsmakers have made the Golden Hurricane an opening 5.5 favorites, with betting action being equal on both sides thus far. The total has also seen no major action, as the opening number of 76 is holding on and has not significantly changed among the most common offshore sportsbooks.
The Bowling Green Falcons are 8-4 straight up this season, while going 7-4 against the number. Away from home they are 4-3 straight up, but a very profitable 5-2 against the spread. The Falcons offense is scoring 32.1 points per game, while allowing 29.5 points to the opposition. The Falcons offense is heralded by quarterback Tyler Sheehan, who is throwing at a completion percentage of 63.2%, while having a 23:11 touchdown to interception ratio. Bowling Green is coming off a great game against rival Toledo, by the score of 37-10 (BG also covered the 6.5 home favorite spread). They have now won their last 4 games straight up and against the spread.
The Golden Hurricanes also had a great season thus far. They are 9-4 straight up, but a paltry 4-9 against the number. Away from home, they are 4-3 straight up, but a very pathetic 2-5 against the spread. They are averaging 39.5 points per game, while allowing 35.4 points to the opposition. Most recently the Golden Hurricanes are coming off a disappointing loss to the University of Central Florida, by the score of 44-25 (Tulsa also failed to cover the 7.5 underdog spread).
The author recommends taking the points and run.
Game prediction: 38-37 Bowling Green.
