NCAA Football GMAC Bowl - Troy Trojans vs Central Michigan Chippewas
By Matt Knowles on 2010-01-06 23:00:52
Mobile Alabama is the venue for the eleventh annual GMAC Bowl, this year contested between the Troy Trojans and the Central Michigan Chippewas, neither of which has appeared in the game before. In the last Bowl before the BCS Championship Game the 9-3 Trojans will look to upset the favoured Chippewas, who went 11-2.
The money line sees Central Michigan as slight favourites, priced at -130 (bet $130 to win $100 profit), leaving Troy as underdogs at +115 (bet $100 to win $115 profit). Betting on the money line so far has been slightly in favour of the Chippewas with 61% of money backing them to avoid an upset tonight.
The point spread for the game has been set at a slim two points, making Central Michigan favourites at -2 points and giving the Trojans a handicap of +2 points. Betting against the spread has also seen the majority of action behind the favourites, with 70% of money backing them to cover the small spread.
Both teams managed to perform better on the field than they did against the spread this season. Troy won at 9-3 but only beat the spot eight times and Central Michigan`s ATS record of 9-3 is not as impressive as their winning record of 11-2.
The Trojans and the Chippewas both scored at a high rate this season with the latter just edging the former, averaging 33.2 points per game to Troy`s 33.1. However, they have a far bigger advantage in terms of defence, where Central Michigan have only given up 17.2 PPG while their opponents have been conceding a far inferior 28.6 PPG.
The Over/Under total for the game has been set at 63 points and betting so far has seen 64% of action backing the Over. Troy have indeed leaned towards the Over, with eight in their twelve decisions, but Troy has only recorded five in their thirteen games this season.
