Friday's college football bowl game action caps things off with a matchup between the Big Ten's Michigan Wolverines and the ACC's Florida State Seminoles in this season's Capital One Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The oddsmakers at BetAnySports have Michigan listed as a seven-point favorite and the betting line for the total has been set at 52.5.
Both of these teams suffered a few disappointing losses this season to end any hopes of winning their conference title as well as earning a spot in the College Football Playoff to compete for a national title. Michigan dropped late-season games against Iowa and Ohio State to fall to 10-2 straight-up. It failed to cover in four of its last six games to fall to an even 6-6 against the spread. The Seminoles got tripped up early in the season in a road loss to Louisville and they were also on the road side of the scoreboard against North Carolina and Clemson to go 9-3 SU on the year. Florida State ended the season on a bright note for bettors with a 4-1 run ATS in its final five games as part of an overall record of 7-5 ATS.
This should be one of the better matchups heading into the New Year between two quality teams looking to end their season on a strong note. Please check out the link below at SportsBettingStats.com to get my full game preview and free pick.

Giants Set Their Sights on the Playoffs with a Win in Philly
Week 16 in the NFL gets underway this Thursday night with a NFC East clash between the 10-4 New York Giants and the 5-9 Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants are obviously headed in the right direction with eight victories in their last nine games to put themselves on the brink of making a return to the playoffs for the first time since the 2011 season. The Eagles have lost their last five games to fall out of contention in the NFC playoff race.
On the surface, it easy to see why taking New York as just a 2.5-point road favorite with BetAnySports is the way to go in this one. However, there is quite a bit of history between these two bitter division rivals in what has been a very streaky matchup over the past several years. One team seems to get the other team's number and run with it for an extended period of time. Right now, Philadelphia has the clear edge when it comes to playing the Giants both straight-up and against the spread. The Eagles are 4-1 both SU and ATS in the last five meetings overall and they are 5-2 both SU and ATS in their last seven home games in this series.
Everything is on the line for New York in this game, but do not expect Philly to rollover and lay down despite the fact it has forgotten how to win games. For my complete preview and free pick for Thursday night's game, please check out the link below at SportsBettingStats.com

2016 Las Vegas Bowl Preview and Free Pick
The 2016 College Bowl Season gets underway this Saturday and one of the featured matchups of the day is the AAC's Houston Cougars taking on the San Diego State Aztecs out of the Mountain West in this season's Las Vegas Bowl. The Cougars are listed as 3.5-point favorites with BetAnySports and the betting line for the total has been set at 51.5 points.
It has been quite a ride this season for the Cougars on their way to a straight-up record of 9-3. They posted a huge win against Oklahoma in Week 1 as part of a perfect 5-0 run to start the year. Down the stretch, they knocked off Louisville in convincing fashion with a 36-10 victory on Nov. 17 as 17-point underdogs at home. Houston has also had its share of disappointments in losses to Navy and SMU as a double-digit favorite. Following that big win against the Cardinals, it closed out its regular season with a stunning 48-44 loss to Memphis as a 5.5-point road favorite. Betting on the Cougars this season has been a losing proposition at 5-7 against the spread and heading into this Saturday's game they are a dismal 1-6 ATS in their last seven games.
San Diego State laid claim to the Mountain West Conference title this season with a 27-24 victory against Wyoming on Dec. 3 as a 7.5-point favorite. The Aztecs were 10-3 SU with an even 6-6-1 record ATS and one of the biggest reasons for this year's success was a bruising ground game that averaged 273.3 yards a game. The Cougars come into this matchup as a much higher profile team this season given those previous upsets over nationally ranked teams, but they are going to have their hands full with one of the most balanced Mid-Major teams in the nation come Saturday afternoon in the sports gambling capital of the world.
Please check out the link below to SportsBettingStats.com for my complete preview and free pick for this year's Las Vegas Bowl and stayed tuned for more free plays all bowl season long.

Cowboys at Giants- Free Sunday Night Football Pick
The Cowboys will not only put their current 11-game winning streak on the line this Sunday night at MetLife Stadium, they will be looking to avenge their only loss of the season. Dallas opened this season at home against the New York Giants and it lost 20-19 in a game that ended as a PUSH on BetAnySports' closing one-point spread. The other big carrot on the stick is the fact that a Cowyboys' victory against their bitter division rivals in Week 14 would lock up the NFC East Division title.
The Giants are sure to have something to say about the eventual outcome of this rematch given how well they have been playing lately. Aside from last week's forgettable performance on the road against Pittsburgh, this is still one of the top teams in the NFC this season at 8-4 on the year. Behind a veteran quarterback that knows how to engineer improbable Super Bowl runs, New York put together a solid six-game winning streak before stumbling to that 24-14 loss to the Steelers as a 6.5-point road underdog. I love the fact that the Giants are getting 3.5 points at home this Sunday night against a team they have covered against eight times in the last 12 meetings in the Meadowlands.

ACC Championship Free Pick- Clemson vs. Virginia Tech
Saturday night's ACC Championship between Clemson and Virginia Tech is one of three Saturday college football games that will go a long way towards deciding which four teams will compete for a national title in this season's College Football Playoff.
Clemson comes into this conference tilt at 11-1 and a victory on Saturday night should be enough to punch a ticket back to the four-team playoff for the second-straight season. The Tigers have been listed as 10-point favorites with BetAnySports and the betting line for the game has been set at 58 points. Virginia Tech won the ACC Coastal Division title with a 6-2 record in conference play as part of an overall record of 9-3. Both teams come into this game with identical 6-6 records against the spread. Head-to-head in this matchup, Clemson holds a 3-0 edge both SU and ATS in the last three meetings and the total stayed UNDER in all three games.
While it will be a tall task for Virginia Tech to derail the Tigers' postseason plans, the Hokies do have enough firepower on offense to make things interesting deep into the fourth quarter.

Cowboys at Vikings- Free NFL Thursday Night Football Pick
I cashed in on Pittsburgh's lopsided win last Thursday night against the Luckless Indianapolis Colts so now it is time to turn my attention to this Thursday night's Cowboys vs. Vikings game to try and stay hot with my weekly picks for SportsBettingStats.com.
Dallas has been the hottest team in the NFL this season both on the field at 10-1 straight-up and at the betting window at 9-1-1 against the spread. Minnesota jumped out to a hot start at 5-0 both SU and ATS, but with just one win in its last six games it now finds itself at 6-5 (SU and ATS) on the year and trailing Detroit by a game in its quest to win a second-straight NFC North Division title.
This could be a potential trap game for the Cowboys as 3.5-point road favorites with BetAnySports following a tough battle against NFC East rival Washington last Thursday in which they failed to cover in a five-point win as 5.5-point favorites at home. That being said, they bring a perfect 5-0 road record this season both SU and ATS into Thursday night's NFC showdown. Please check out the link below at SportsBettingStats.com for my complete game preview and free pick.
