An interesting competition is on tap for Thursday evening and gamblers have a fascinating pick when wagering ncaa football as Midshipmen faces San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl.



The competition is in San Diego so you would believe San Diego State could have the home turf edge but do not discount all the Navy enthusiasts that live in the San Diego area. The Aztecs are preferred in ncaa football wagering internet but by less than a td at the sportsbook.

San Diego State -4.5, total 60.5
Navy is a pretty live longshot in this match. Some people do not realize that the biggest naval base on the West Coast is in San Diego. Navy could have half the enthusiasts for this match. And Navy has performed in this match before as they beat Colorado State in 2005 while losing to Utah in 2007.

Navy’s Running Game
Navy will be making their third trip to San Diego in the last 6 years to participate in the Poinsettia Bowl. This city is home to the greatest naval base on the West Coast.
The Midshipmen crushed Colorado State 51-30 back in 2005 and came back 2 years later to experience a heartbreaking 35-32 loss to the Utah Utes. Navy hasn’t ever had consecutive 10-win seasons, and a victory over the Aztecs on December 23 would mean they would earn double-digit wins for a second consecutive year.
The Midshipmen reeled off 4 consecutive victories to end the season, including a 31-17 win over rival Army on December 11. They even overcame 4 turnovers from Quarterback Ricky Dobbs, who is certainly among the best dual-threat quarterbacks to ever play at the ncaa level.

The Midshipmen were fifth in the nation in rushing yards per competition led by qb Ricky Dobbs who had 2,240 yards and 25 touchdowns this year. In 3 seasons he has 663 carries and 48 rushing touchdowns. Navy has also Alexander Teich who has 825 yards and five TDs and Gee Gee Greene who has 459 yards and five TDs. San Diego State was difficult versus the run this season but going versus Navy will be a big test.

San Diego State 5-1 at Home
This match is at Qualcomm Stadium where the Aztecs went 5-1 this season but as we brought up earlier this is not a huge edge for San Diego State because the enemy squad is Navy. The Aztecs are led by qb Ryan Lindley who threw for 3,554 passing yards and 26 td passes. San Diego State can also run it with Ronnie Hillman who was the conference freshman of year.

Bowl Trends – The Midshipmen are 6-0 ATS in their previous six games as a ncaa football wagering internet longshot. The Midshipmen are 14-2 ATS in their previous 16 vs the Mountain West. The Aztecs are 9-4 ATS in their previous 13 games overall. Looking at the total when wagering ncaa football, most gamblers will play the over. The Over is 5-1 in Navy’s previous six bowl games and the Over is 3-1-1 in the Aztecs previous five games overall.
