College Football Betting – Rice vs. Western Michigan at Texas Bowl

College football betting fans may think everything is supposed bigger in Texas, but that’s a tough sale when it comes to the Texas Bowl odds match up.

This year the Texas Bowl betting will feature two relative light weights when Rice and Western Michigan do battle in the Texas Bowl odds. While neither team is anywhere near a college football odds title contender, the game should be entertaining at the very least. NCAA football betting in the early Texas Bowl betting lines favors Rice by three points; essentially a tie in the NCAA football betting considering that this will be a home game for Rice in all but name. Held in Houston, this NCAA football odds bowl match up will played in the Owls’ backyard. And when it comes to home field advantage in NCAA football betting, there is no over-estimating its importance.

The Rice Owls are having one of the best seasons in the history of the school, finishing with a 9-3 record in the NCAA football odds competition. This is a relative miracle considering that the Owls had been walked on like the college football betting doormat in the Conference USA for years. And with this big turnaround has come a lot of hope, and there are many reasons to like the Owls in this NCAA football betting match up.

Rice is an offensive machine averaging nearly 480 yards a game on offense, in one of the most balanced attacks in the college football odds. Chase Clement is one of the better dual threat QBs in college football betting and can beat you with his arm (317 yards passing per game) or with his legs (65 yards running per game). Many NCAA football betting experts liken him to a poor man’s Tim Tebow and he’s just as important to this offense as Tebow is for the Gators.

The Western Michigan Broncos keys to a NCAA football betting win in this game is easy: stop Clement. But as many a NCAA football betting opponent knows, it’s easier said than done. The Broncos also have a high-powered offense averaging 422-yards a game but their defense is porous and it will likely cost them in the biggest NCAA football betting match up of their season.
