- Analysis
- At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Jacksonville St. Gamecocks + the points over Ohio U. Both teams come into this Cure Bowl game off blowout wins. The Gamecocks routed Western Kentucky, 52-12, while the Bobcats blew out Miami-Ohio, 38-3. The underdogs have dominated the Cure Bowl games, going 7-1 ATS since 2016, including 5-0 ATS their last five. And, speaking of domination, Conference USA teams have largely controlled games vs. Mid-American Conference foes of late, as they've gone 16-7 SU and 15-7-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings. This season, only Boise State, Notre Dame and New Mexico gained more yards per rush than the Gamecocks, who averaged 5.7 ypr. And underdogs of less than 8 points have gone 22-8 ATS in the Bowls if they averaged 5.7 (or more) yards per rush. Take the Gamecocks + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
