12/19-20 Bowl Roundup

New Mexico Bowl
Open: Fresno -10
Current: Fresno -10.5
Line Movement: Crawled up to 12.5 on Sunday but since it has settled at 10.5

Slight lean to Wyoming but I don't foresee making them a play. To back an exceptional squad like Wyoming I need to see action a little more one-sided.

St. Petersburg Bowl
Open: UCF -1
Current: Rutgers -2.5
Line Movement: UCF opened as a slight fav in a semi-home environment for one minute (literally, click on BM) then Rutgers went up to -2.5, spent a few hours at -3 and are now back down to -2.5

Not a fan of the line movement in general. Rutgers hasn't looked like world-beaters lately but if it can hang around 2.5 it'll get a look.

New Orleans Bowl
Open: USM -3
Current: USM -3.5
Line Movement: Moved up to 3.5 quickly and that's where it has been since last Tuesday.

The fact that Mid Ten St finished up the year 6-0 SU & ATS, facing a team with an ugly 7-5 record doesn't get me too excited about backing the Blue Raiders. Pass.
