December 29 NCAA Sports Gambling – Champs Sports Bowl

26th December, 2011 - Posted by admin - No Comments

In the 1980′s and 1990′s, these two squads would’ve been a lock for a Fiesta Bowl or one more BCS-type game but the BCS process wasn’t in place in those days. Players and systems could transform over the years, but these two squads can still put on one heck of a show. The Florida State Seminoles battle against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando on December 29th. Instead of Bobby Bowden vs Lou Holtz, we have Jimbo Fisher vs Brian Kelly in what is sure to be an awesome game. The sportsbook appears to concur with Florida State at -3 and the over/under at 47.

Football odds

The Seminoles come into the Citrus Bowl with an 8-4 overall record and a 5-3 record in the ACC Atlantic Division. As mentioned, Jimbo Fisher is the heir apparent of Bobby Bowden and Fisher’s record currently sits at a respectable 18-8 after two full seasons. Simply giving up 15.2 points per game which rates fourth in the country, FSU’s offense averages 31.7 points per game and the defense locked down enemy squads. FSU’s passing game is handled by junior Quarterback E.J. Manuel.

Football betting

Notre Dame come into play with an 8-4 record as an independent, averaging 30.5 points per game on offense and 20.9 points per game on defense. Brian Kelly is attempting to strengthen on his legacy and the main successes than he’s undergone in Cincinnati and Grand Valley State.

Sophomore Quarterback Tommy Rees mans the helm of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Notre Dame shows a bruising running game with the tandem of junior RB Cierre Wood and senior RB Jonas Gray. Junior Wide receiver Michael Floyd rates 8th in the country with 95 receptions, with shades of Irish legend Raghib Ismail. Junior TE Tyler Eifert is a able and dependable second option for Rees.
