We're thinking there could be a classic overlay in the International Bowl
today. Maybe not so much an overlay as a pick 'em disguised as a fat seven
point spread. Cincinnati is favored by 7 over Western Michigan. We like
a play on the Western Michigan Broncos(+7) over the Cincinnati Bear Cats.
Number one..we like the neutralizing effect of a Neutral Bowl Game..and
how much more neutral can you be playing out of country!? Todays game at
the Rogers Centre in Toronto Canada is the first Bowl Game played out of
the US since the Bacardi Bowl in Havana Cuba in 1937!
Matchup wise both teams have average offenses..Cincinnati 20.6 ppg and just
over 339 ypg..Western Michigan 22.9 ppg and 315 ypg..On defense
both teams have almost identical ppg allowed at around 19..and both shut
down the run very well..
We see an edge to Western Michigan in the takeaway department.
Bearcats committed 26 turnovers this season while the Broncos defense
has an impressive 22 interceptions..sacks Cin 29 WMU 42!
While this might also be a good under opportunity(low 42 total though)..We
like taking the points and Western Michigan as dogs..
