Congratulations, you have finally made it to Bowl season, where games take place from the morning through the night. They might not be the best Bowl games or matchups, but they provide sports bettors like us with plenty of entertainment during the Holidays. On Tuesday, there are three Bowl games, which means you need three wagers to get you through the day. Luckily, I’ve already dove into these three matchups, and I’ve got a play in each game…

Toledo and Louisville limp into the Boca Raton Bowl with depleted offenses, making the under 43.5 a lock on Tuesday. The Cardinals, missing key players sitting out presumably to hit the portal, averaged around 20 points in their final three games, while Toledo's attack sputters without star QB Tucker Gleason, who's out with injury. Louisville's defense ranks top-30 in yards allowed, smothering MAC foes like Toledo, who score under 24 PPG on the road. 

Expect a dogfight in this one: The Rockets' run-heavy scheme (4.2 YPC) meets Louisville's stout front seven, forcing field goals. Bowl trends favor unders in non-Power 5 matchups—60% hit since 2020 with totals under 45. Public money pushes the total up from 42, but the sharp play is to fade the public here. Lock in the under at (-110); this is going to be a snoozefest.

The second Bowl game of the day is the New Orleans Bowl, between Western Kentucky and Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles' look to finish the season strong under Blake Anderson after Charles Huff took the Memphis job. USM actually boasts a sneaky-good defense, ranking top-40 in tackles for loss, poised to harass WKU's young QB Rodney Tisdale, who's thrown 6 picks in his five starts after taking over for Maverick McIvor. 

Offensively, Braylon Braxton is one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the country. He should be able to exploit WKU's porous defense. The Hilltoppers are 4-0 all-time vs. USM, but this is a perfect spot to back the Golden Eagles to get their revenge. Line movement from +2.5 to +1.5 screams this is the sharp play. The public is hammering WKU with over 65% of bets, and we’re seeing some reverse line movement. Fade the favorite, and back a hungrier Southern Miss squad on the spread in the second Bowl game of the day.

Ohio and UNLV face off in the Frisco Bowl, which on paper should be the best matchup of the day. There’s been some drama this week involving Ohio, as their coach got fired for apparently sleeping with a student. Parker Navarro, their star QB, says the team’s focused on their matchup against UNLV, not the recent dismissal of their coach. 

QB Parker Navarro's dual-threat ability (3,000+ total yards) keeps drives alive, while Ohio's D forces 1.8 turnovers per game against pass-happy UNLV. Sieh Bangura has emerged as one of the more underrated running backs and kick returners in the country. I’m sure he wants to go out on top with a win in his final collegiate game. Bangura and Navarro make up one of the sneakiest RB/QB duos in the country. 

The spread crept from +3.5 to +7 with public money flowing in on UNLV, along with the surprise firing of Ohio’s head coach for misconduct, but the sharps are still backing Ohio on the spread. Bowl history favors MAC underdogs (58% cover rate vs. MWC). Expect a 31-27 high-scoring nailbiter—the Bobcats hang tough in Frisco on Tuesday night.
