Hey Guys hope everyone had a safe and joyous Christmas. I bet these games 50% early lines but was ready to bet out if Covid came into play and eat the juice or the ML difference. Seems like everything is a go nothing new on who is in or out. First up the Cougars take on the Tigers. Auburn has a lot of players on the move out of the War Eagle program and they are talented contributors on both sides of the ball and injuries plus a new OC. Just believe that Houston is the better team on both sides of the ball and have all hands on deck. As far as motivation even though the game is in Alabama and there will be a much stronger Tigers presence in the stadium it is my belief Houston has the intangibles behind them in a midweek noon bowl game well before New Years Day. The QB , Wrs and RBs are more talented and wirh injuries and depth issues their Offensive line grades higher than the Tigers. Houston will basically do what they have done all year. The reverse is true with a new OC, QB, RB depth and especially Oline for Auburn. Houston was surprisingly strong on defense and come in pretty much at full strength. They have been overlooked all year but they are fairly stout as a complete unit as TJ Finley should not be able to stress them with his legs or arm and is relying on a wonky Oline. Because of injuries and portal movements Auburn is at a disadvantage. I don't believe they can just role there helmets out on the field and the HC probably won't be there after next season as many SEC programs are excited with coaching and talent moves and the Auburn Boosters are always unrealistic and unreasonable in their expectations of the program. HOUSTON BIG ML +$130 50%, +$105 50%. Next I will very quickly because of the character limit on covers. Air Force was the best rushing team in the nation and the most dynamic Academy team even when losing to Army with a myriad of TOs and just mistakes and bad luck. They also have a strong defensive unit for a Service Academy. Louisville goes as their QB goes. Question here is how much of the field Cunningham will see in this game as AFA will try to control they clock and end drives with TDs. Both teams want to run and both can do it eat clock or be explosive at anytime. I believe Air Force has more success in this game but it will be close and high scoring. I have more faith in AFA HC in decision making at key moments more than the Cardinals HC and this will be the difference in the game Air Force ML -$105 ML 50%, AFA +$100 +$100 50% like the over but not playing the total.
