A couple of months of the season transpired. All right, so, uh, let's do some college bowl games here. Tonight, we have the 2nd college bowl game of bowl season, probably flying under the radar for most. Troy against Jacksonville State. Troy is a 1.5 point favorite, 49.5 is the total in this one. Bill, you'll have to help me out here a little bit. Obviously, I know Troy is a little bit better here. It's 9 p.m. Eastern. That's our, uh, first taste of, second taste, I should say of the bowl game. Yeah, you know, and I missed the first one, so we gotta get on the board tonight, and I'm gonna go with Jacksonville State in that running game around Cam Cook, all-American caliber running back, had a monster year. These were two schools that were runners-up in their conference championship game. Uh, Troy allows 182.3 yards per game on the ground, so, small upset, give me Jacksonville State in this one. All right. So, I, I think that Wednesday's game probably will have a lot of interest to some because Old Dominion had such a nice season to get them into this position in a bowl game. And of course, USF famously has their big wins in college football this season. They're 2.5 point favorites, total of 53.5. There was a point where some thought South Florida could get into the college football playoffs, but naturally, they're losing players like everybody else. 5 p.m. Eastern, what do you make of the Cure Bowl coming up tomorrow? Well, this, this line's dipped a lot, 4.5 points, and, you know, Brian Hartline will be watching closely with South Florida. I do like uh Old Dominion and how they closed late in the season. They ran the football well, Ricky Ronnie's done a nice job with them. And, uh, You know, if that lines dropped that much, there's less value, so you might wanna take South Florida here. Initially, when it was up around 6 and 7 points early in the season, or early in the bowl season, I would have leaned toward Old Dominion there. Louisiana takes on Delaware. That's Wednesday night's game. It's the 68 Ventures Bowl. Louisiana 2.5 point favorites, total of 61.5, 1 of the higher bowl totals on the board this bowl season, Bill. So is that the deal here? A lot of points coming. Uh, both teams gave up 30 or more points 6 times this season. So I don't know who's gonna win that game, but definitely take the over. Uh, Delaware making their first bowl appearance ought to be exciting for the Blue Hens. All right. Finally, we got the, uh, Xbox Bowl, Missouri State, Arkansas State. Any opinion on this one? Arkansas State 1.5 point favorites. Give me the, uh, Missouri State. Uh, they will win their first bowl game in school history. They let them in, although Butch Jones 1 and 1 in his last two bowl games for the Red Wolves.
