College Football Free Pick – Humanitarian Bowl

The Nevada Wolf Pack (7-5 SU, 5-6 ATS, 7-4 O/U) and Maryland Terrapins, (7-5 SU, 5-6 ATS, 4-7 O/U) were headed in polar opposite directions as their respective 2008 regular seasons came to a close.

The Wolfpack won three of their last four, including a solid 35-31 win over Louisiana Tech on Nov. 29 in their regular season finale.

The Terrapins lost three of its last four, including a 28-21 loss to Boston College on Nov. 29.

Vai Taua ran for a 22-yard touchdown with 3:15 left to cap off Nevada’s win over Louisiana Tech in Week 14. The Wolf Pack failed to cover the 5-point spread for BetOnline NCAA college football sports betting enthusiasts.

Maryland quarterback Chris Turner completed 33 of 57 passes for 360 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions for Maryland in their loss to Boston College in Week 14. The Terps failed to cover the spread as a 6.5-point road underdog in the BetOnline Sportsbook.

NCAAF Odds

Nevada Wolfpack -2 -110

Maryland Terrapins +2 -110

Over 58½ -110

Under 58½ -110

Analysis: Maybe it’s me, but I’m trying to figure out how Maryland got invited to a Bowl game in the first place with their horrific finish to the regular season.

I like the Nevada Wolfpack and their prolific offense (37.8 ppg) to simply outscore the Terrapins if it comes to that. Either way, the Wolfpack are the better team in this contest and should walk away victorious.
