Alamo Bowl Predictions 2024

I think we are going to get a game with a ton of scoring, which makes the OVER the obvious way to play this one.

I also like Colorado to close out the season with a win, covering the spread in the process.

BYU Cougars Analysis and Trends

For the longest time, it looked as though BYU might be in the playoff conversation, opening their season with 9 straight wins.

The wheels came off at the end, though, with the Cougars suffering back-to-back losses before closing out their season with a win over Houston.

While they will be disappointed at losing games at the worst time possible, you still have to say that a double-digit win season is nothing to be ashamed of.

Figuring out the spread with the Cougars is a little confusing, as there are two very definite trends that could lead you in opposite directions.

They are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall, but they have also covered in 6 of the last 7 games that they started as an underdog.

It’s a similar story with the point total, as they have seen 7 of their last 8 games go OVER the total, but it has been the UNDER that has hit in 4 of their last 5 played in the month of December.

Colorado Buffaloes Analysis and Trends

During bowl season, it has become common for some of the best players in college football to opt out ahead of the NFL Draft.

That does not seem to be an issue for the Buffaloes, though, as QB Shadeur Sanders and Heisman winner Travis Hunter have both said that they are going to play in this game.

The Buffaloes come into this one having won 7 of their last 8 games overall, but their record is not as impressive in the month of December, where they have won just once in their last 8 games.

Where things become a lot more convincing with Colorado is their performance against the spread, going 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games.

They have also been very good against teams from the Big 12, going 9-2 ATS in their last 11 versus that conference.

Arizona Wildcats 2023

The Arizona Wildcats started their regular season with a 3-3 record before taking off. Their final two losses were by an average of 4.5 points to Washington and USC. Wins over Washington State, Oregon State, UCLA and Utah have their resume looking pretty sharp as they seek their 10th win.

For Oklahoma, the Sooners will be down a couple key guys as Dillon Gabriel is out, as he transferred to Oregon and Andrel Anthony, one of the top receivers for the Sooners, is out with a leg injury.
