I asked this earlier but the responses were 50-50 so I want to get more opinions!

I’m 16 and my bf is 17. We both have rich parents. I don’t mean to brag about that but its important to know to understand the situation.

I have dated him for about a year now and things go well when we are together, but he is becoming a complete slacker with his schoolwork and other important things. His grades are dropping and his idea of getting ready for the SAT’s the night before was to party until 3am. He plays football, but was demoted this season to a backup role as even his coach told him he needed to put more effort into it but even that he doesn’t care about. He doesn’t care about looking for colleges and I don’t even know if he cares about going to college. He makes stupid bets on sports games all the time (such as this weekend on the Ravens?!) because he always just says that his parents will give him more money if he loses. I know his parents try talking to him about this. My attempts to talk to him just get a laugh and changing the subject because I’m not his mother and shouldn’t worry about this stuff.

I really think he’s going to become a deadbeat or try to mooch off his parents all his life whereas I one day want to make my parents proud and maybe return some of the favors that have been done for me when I am older even if technically, they don’t need me too. Even though nothing else is really wrong with us, I just want to call it off. What do you all think?

Is your boyfriend a stoner?

yes, end it. he is a looser

YES call it off and put some pressure on him before its too late.. if he refuses to change in that aspect then let him go and become the bum he always wanted to be.

Dump him to the curb. He’s a deadbeat!

From what I read, three people that should be very important to him have told him to grow up and he doesn’t care.

1) You.
2) His parents.
3) His football coach.

That’s a bad omen on his character. Maybe he’ll straighten out a little eventually, but you sound as though you can be selective with men, so dump this clown.

Dont end it

just explain to him that what he is doing is going too bring his life down, and it will also affect your because with you trying to change him so much, its going to stress you and affect your life plan, tell him he cant get money off his parents all his life.

When i was in school, i thought i could just fail my exams, and live off my parents. but when i came to the time that i actually failed some exams, it was so hard for me to find a job or a college course because i didn’t have many qualifactions. When you leave school the world hits you in the face and you realise that its going to be a hard life ahead of you.

It’s hard to find a job now days, and if he doesn’t get any qualifactions, hes not going to beable to get a job, or get into college.. then hes not going to get any money, he will end up living on the streets.. does he want that? no.. i dont think so.

so if he doesn’t sort out his life, he will end up like that.

I think you have got it about right, this guy seems content to go through life from one mistake to another, because he knows he has got his parents to pick up the pieces every time, he doesnt sound prepared to put in much effort of his own with anything, and that probably applies to your relationship too, but he wont be able to rely on his parents to fix that will he? so left to his own devices, my guess is he would cut and run, he has never really had to take full responsability for his actions, and wouldnt know where to start. You, on the other hand, sound as if you want to put in your own effort, and not totally rely on your parents throughout your life, that is great, and if you do that I am sure your parents will ultimately be very proud of you, and more so because, inspite of your priveledged upbringing you havent grown up expecting a “free ride” through life. Dont let this guy drag you down, when that time comes when he parents wont be there to pick up the pieces, he will be looking for someone else to do it for him, dont let it be you! he needs to know how to make his own way in life, and you deserve better than a deadbeat guy.

So I met him at college and for the two and a half months he was really flirty with me and always asked me to study with him and he would be touchy. He would also invite me to things with his friends or even to go play football with his boys. I would always flirt back and I thought that he liked me. He was in a frat for awhile and still had this pledge pin and i was looking at it one day (holding it) and he said oh you know if you touch my pledge pin you have to kiss me. So I laughed and was like you are making that up. He also made a bet with me and I lost and he said that now I owe him two kisses. So one night I was alone in his room and we were cuddling and he looked up the rules for the pledge pin to show me and it said the guy had to kiss the girl. So I was like see now you owe ME two kisses. And he was really nervous and he went in to kiss me but he backed away twice! and then his roommate came in so I went to bed.
A few weeks later he found out I liked him.. surprise?.. and I went to ask him straight up how he felt about me. He said that he was playing me and that he always had a problem with playing girls. He said he thinks I am really pretty but he is looking for his wife in college and I apparently can not be in a long term relationship?. So I was really hurt over this but agreed just to be friends.
Things were kinda awkward and we didn’t flirt anymore and didnt joke around at all like we used to.
Things also go really tense and we fought a lot and he also talked shit about me behind my back to my friends saying that I put on an act to get attention which isn’t true and I confronted him about it and it turned into a huge deal.
We sorted things out, I guess and we are now on break. I am going back to school and will see him all the time because we have the same group of friends and he lives across the hall from me.

What do you think? Everyone thinks that he likes me but doesn’t know how to handle his feelings because he’s never really been in a relationship before and has no game or balls. I also should add he told me that he had feelings for me when we started studying together but then when he realized I started to have feelings for him he backed away…

Ideas? he’s confusing.
I did back way off for awhile and when I do this he always makes an effort to come to my room for some stupid reason or yell my name through my window and he even told me to promise him I would come over. but i told him that I wasn’t going to make any promises. This was after the huge fight.

• Ok, so he TOLD YOU he’s a player, and that he played you, and he talked sh*t about you behind your back.

  Soooo, how is this confusing to you again?

  Let me explain this, as a guy who knows guys exactly like this guy. He’s just going to f**k you and forget you. That’s what they do. So, you have been warned.

  I expect in a few months will be a new question, “This guy f**ked me and now he won’t talk to me. So confused.”

• Maybe he’s gay
• Sounds like he isn’t ready to commit completely. I say just hang out and be friends for now. Maybe he will realize that he really likes you and want to be with you. Otherwise, he isn’t really worth it and you can find that out sooner rather than waiting around for him.
• Back off, back way off. This is anything but healthy. This is not mature on either of your sides. Attend a church service on campuss and open your heart to Jesus. Forget this fellow and quit the hooking up and hanging out. Develop yourself spiritually, ask Jesus to send your husband into your life. This husband will not be a stumbling block, or confusing. Jesus is the way the truth and the life! ps I like the Newman center on campus!
• This boy sounds two faced if you ask me. What im trying to say is that my guess is that hes a player and just
  “Used” you for his sexual needs. Someone probably found out about this and may of told him that your not the prettiest girl, which i am sure is a total lie, and now he doesnt want to seem like a guy that goes for
  “Ugly” chicks. But in time he will begin to realize that all the times of cuddling and messing around were amazing times and he will start talking with you again. If i were you i would continue to be his friend but no more touchy feely. Hes only going to use you.
• Sounds like a guy who doesn’t know what he wants. Therefore, this is the perfect chance for you to get out there and meet new people at college. Date other guys. Don’t get hung up over this one! No matter how much you wanted to hook up with him, you two were never an item! It would be interesting to see how he reacts when he finds out that you are dating another guy. His true feelings will show then! Jealousy? Would he even care? who knows.
• I think you shouldn’t be close to him like it. And now you should forget him. I’m sorry about you. I had this awful experience to.

The 2012 GoDaddy.com Bowl offers a situation that is frequently found during the bowl season: One team enters a postseason contest in the midst of a coaching transition.
Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Arkansas State Red Wolves - Saturday, January 8
Sports betting line: Arkansas State -1.5
Why Northern Illinois Will Win
When you do your homework and assess your best best sportsbook for this tilt, you need to realize that many of the Northern Illinois players know how to deal with a bowl game, and more specifically, with adverse circumstances.  One year ago, the Huskies were wondering how they were ever going to cope with the loss of their beloved and highly successful head coach. Jerry Kill, right after the Mid-American Conference Championship Game, announced that he would take the open job as the next coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. NIU entered the Humanitarian Bowl against Fresno State without a permanent head coach in place. The Huskies embraced Kill, the man who built up the program over many years in DeKalb, Illinois. Playing a bowl game without their longtime leader represented a challenge the Huskies had to work hard to overcome. The work wasn’t physical; it was psychological. In a very short period of time, a bunch of 19- and 20-year old athletes had to tear down one frame of mind and build a new architecture of belief.
Improbably yet undeniably, the Huskies answered the call. Northern Illinois played with electricity, verve and tenacity, roaring past Fresno State en route to a 40-17 win and an immensely sweet conclusion to a tumultuous bowl season. The win clearly carried through to the offseason and the just-concluded 2011 regular season, if results are the measure of a mindset. Under new head coach Dave Doeren, Northern Illinois erased a 20-0 deficit to beat Ohio University in the MAC Championship Game. A healthy program is floating on cloud nine as it enters this season’s bowl battle. It is mentally ready to win.
Why Arkansas State Will Win
The college football betting  experts examining this contest know that since Northern Illinois brushed aside its cloudy coaching status to win its bowl game a season ago, Arkansas State can do the same thing. This year’s Sun Belt Conference champion immediately took to the methods of first-year head coach Hugh Freeze, an in-house hire who transformed ASU from pretender to winner in a matter of months. After years upon years of falling short in meaningful moments and season-defining games, the boys from Jonesboro, Arkansas, put all the pieces together. They ran the table in the Sun Belt, winning close early-season games against Western Kentucky (26-22) and Louisiana-Monroe (24-19) en route to an 8-0 league record and an outright championship. This is a nice problem to have for ASU: The Red Wolves were so outrageously awesome this season that Freeze was snapped up by the Ole Miss Rebels. Arkansas State is without a coach, just as Northern Illinois was a year ago.

Simply stated, we’ll see how Arkansas State handles a tougher-than-tough coaching situation, but since Gus Malzahn has become ASU’s new head coach, the program is highly optimistic about its future. Malzahn is considered an up-and-comer in the coaching ranks, so his surprising decision to lead the Red Wolves has only brightened an already-sunny outlook in Jonesboro. Expect Arkansas State to storm out of the gate in this clash.
Who Will Win
Arkansas State will play with passion, but the coaching change might reduce the Red Wolves’ level of precision. Northern Illinois will play a more polished brand of ball, and in bowl games, execution – after a long layoff – is so central to the ultimate outcome. Pick NIU to win in Mobile, Alabama.

The 2012 BBVA Compass Bowl matches a team with an unhappy coach against a team whose new coach won’t fully take the reins until the offseason begins. Uncertainty will abound.
SMU Mustangs vs. Pittsburgh Panthers – Saturday, January 7
Sports betting line: Pittsburgh -3.5
Why SMU Will Win
When you do your homework and assess your best best sportsbook on this game, it’s clear that Pittsburgh will be playing with a less-than-full deck. Pittsburgh scuffled all year under first-year coach Todd Graham, a product of the Panthers’ offseason turmoil, which was found in the form of two coaching transitions. Dave Wannstedt was replaced by Mike Haywood, but less than two weeks after Haywood was hired, Pitt’s newly-minted head coach was charged with domestic violence against his wife. Haywood was fired, and Graham – in a pinch – took the job. The result was the mixture of a new coach with players recruited to fit a different system. Predictably, Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri didn’t easily embrace Graham’s offensive concepts, leading the Panthers to drift through their autumn without a clear sense of direction. Against South Florida, this offensive thrived, but when star running back Ray Graham went down against Connecticut with an injury, the Panthers couldn’t rebound. Up one week and down the next, Pitt ended up where you’d expect it to finish: at the .500 mark. Ray Graham won’t be available for this bowl game, which means that Pittsburgh will take the field with a minimal amount of resources. Moreover, Todd Graham bolted for the Arizona State coaching job. Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst will become the Panthers’ new head coach, but he stayed with Wisconsin’s staff for the Rose Bowl against Oregon. He won’t be coaching Pitt this weekend, leaving the Panthers in the lurch. SMU can take advantage of Pitt’s unsettled situation.
Why Pittsburgh Will Win
The college football betting  experts examining this contest know that if the coaching situation in Pittsburgh was scrambled, the situation at SMU is dark and stormy. For SMU, the clouds of uncertainty have rolled into the picture, threatening to take away the forward strides this program has made in recent years. SMU coach June Jones finally lifted the Mustangs to a bowl game in 2009, taking the Dallas-based school to the postseason for the first time since the pre-death penalty days of the mid-1980s. Now, however, Jones must tell his players and future recruits about his level of commitment to SMU. Jones was courted by Arizona State after the Sun Devils fired former coach Dennis Erickson. Jones’s coaching status is likely to distract from his players in this game, wiping out any advantage the Mustangs might have had against Pittsburgh’s shorthanded offense. Bowl games are decide by motivation levels – the team that wants to play in a game will win, and the team that doesn’t care about the event will lose. SMU cares less about this game than Pittsburgh does.
Who Will Win
It’s clear that SMU can’t trust its coach. Pittsburgh doesn’t have its new coach on the sidelines, but that’s a better situation than what SMU faces. Take the Panthers over the unmotivated Mustangs.

The 2011 Military Bowl is a fun game for football connoisseurs. Both the Toledo Rockets and Air Force Falcons like to mix up personnel groupings and packages. Creativity will be abundant.
Toledo Rockets vs. Air Force Falcons – Wednesday, December 28
Sports betting line: Toledo -3
Why Toledo Will Win
When you do your homework and assess your best best sportsbook on this game, you can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s true that the Mid-American Conference is the tenth-strongest league in the Football Bowl Subdivision, ahead of only the Sun Belt. However, the team from Toledo that is making its way to the nation’s capital city is much more accomplished than its MAC identifier or its 8-4 record would initially indicate. Former coach Tim Beckman did high-quality work with a team that fell apart on defense in the one game it couldn’t afford to lose, a home date with MAC West Division rival Northern Illinois earlier this season. When Toledo lost that 63-60 shootout, it lost leverage in its division and thereby was denied in its quest for a conference championship… a conference championship Northern Illinois won the other night in Detroit over Ohio University. In the rest of its 2011 schedule, however, Toledo has performed with distinction.

The Rockets have four losses to their credit, and all of them were noble in some way, even the shootout loss to a distinguished Northern Illinois squad. One of Toledo’s losses, in fact, shouldn’t have been a loss. The Rockets watched Syracuse miss an extra point late in regulation, which should have set up the Rockets for a game-winning field goal attempt on their subsequent drive. Yet, the Big East replay booth inexplicably upheld a call on the field which signaled that the kick was good. Toledo did kick a field goal on its ensuing drive, but instead of producing a 30-29 win, the three-pointer merely created overtime at 30-all. Syracuse won the game 33-30 in overtime, creating one of the bigger on-field controversies of the 2011 season.
Toledo’s other losses had their share of nobility: The Rockets lost by five points at Ohio State and were denied in the Buckeyes’ red zone on the final play of regulation. Toledo also pushed Boise State hard before committing a devastating red-zone turnover midway through the third quarter to lose hope of an upset. Toledo is still viewed by many observers as the most complete team in the MAC.
Why Air Force Will Win
The college football betting  experts who are looking at this contest will tell you that Air Force coach Troy Calhoun is a tough customer in bowl games. He beat Georgia Tech last year and Houston the year before. Air Force retained the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy this season and played Boise State on relatively even terms for four hard-fought quarters on the smurf turf of Idaho. This is still a fun team to watch with quarterback Tim Jefferson directing an offense that gives defensive coordinators dozens of different looks per game, often changing formations before the snap. If you love thoughtful and creative uses of personnel, Calhoun – like the Toledo staff – revels in his ability to mix things up. The fact that Beckman is no longer the Toledo coach (he’s now at Illinois) should aid the Falcons in their efforts as well.

Who Will Win
It’s hard to play when your coach has departed for another school. Toledo was probably the favorite with Tim Beckman on the sidelines, but with Beckman now at the University of Illinois, Air Force is probably going to have more fuel in the tank. Take the Falcons over the Rockets in this bowl battle.

College Football Betting Pick: Air Force

The 2011 Champs Sports Bowl will make many college football fans nostalgic. The Florida State Seminoles and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will evoke memories of the 1990s this December.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Florida State Seminoles – Thursday, December 29
Sports betting line: Florida State -3
Why Notre Dame Will Win
When you do your homework and assess your best best sportsbook on this game, you can’t deny the notion that this will be a trip down memory lane. Take yourself back in time if you’re able to: In November of 1993, the No. 1 Florida State Seminoles traveled to South Bend, Indiana, to take on the No. 2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in one of the most-hyped regular-season games of the past 20 years. It’s reasonable to say that the presence of Notre Dame in a matchup of such significance and prominence enabled Seminoles-Irish to attain a level of buildup matched only by this year’s LSU-Alabama encounter. Florida State and Notre Dame both moved the needle in terms of national interest not just because they were recognizable programs, but because their coaches – Bobby Bowden for FSU and Lou Holtz for Notre Dame – were very media friendly, always ready with a quip or quote that would delight the national press corps. Oh, and the two teams had some special players as well. Eventual 1993 Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward commanded the Seminoles’ devastating offense, while Notre Dame was powered by defensive tackle Bryant Young, offensive tackle Aaron Taylor, and other NFL-worthy stalwarts on both lines.
Notre Dame won that game in 1993, and the Fighting Irish could very well take this game, too. Florida State has been a snake-bitten team this past season. The quarterback spot has been a constant source of inconsistency due to both injuries and a spotty offensive line. Moreover, Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher has made poor decisions in endgame or clock-management situations, creating a crisis of confidence for the Seminoles. Notre Dame has the better coach in this game, Brian Kelly, and will have a chance to keep Florida State on its heels.
Why Florida State Will Win
The college football betting  experts who are looking at this contest could very well say that the best reason to take Florida State has little to do with Xs and Os. Brian Kelly, for all of his credentials as a head coach, has failed at Notre Dame, at least in one key respect: Kelly has simply not managed to cultivate a quarterback the way he did with Tony Pike and Zach Collaros at the University of Cincinnati. Kelly has thrown his players under the bus, specifically recruits who were brought to South Bend by former coach Charlie Weis. The negativity in the Notre Dame locker room over the course of the season is likely to make Notre Dame far less interested in the outcome of this game. Expect Florida State to carry a positive attitude to the field and whip the Fighting Irish.

Who Will Win
It’s true: Notre Dame’s players really grumbled about Brian Kelly this season. The Fighting Irish do not like playing for him at this point in time. Jimbo Fisher has not done a great job at Florida State, but his players haven’t quit on him. Take Florida State because of inspiration, not perspiration.

Independence Bowl Betting: Missouri And North Carolina Have Much To Prove
By Blake Frazier
The 2011 Independence Bowl offers a matchup between two teams who can certainly use a momentum boost heading into the 2012 offseason. Urgency defines this clash on the Bayou.
Missouri Tigers vs. North Carolina Tar Heels – Monday, December 26
Sports betting line: Missouri -5
Why Missouri Will Win
When you do your homework and assess your best best sportsbook on this game, look at this interesting little factoid: Missouri lost each and every one of its games to teams that – while not finishing the year in the top 25 – were ranked at the time they took on the Tigers. The list includes at Arizona State, at Oklahoma, at Kansas State, Oklahoma State and at Baylor. The Big 12 Conference was the deepest top-to-bottom league in the country, making Missouri’s 7-5 record a lot better than a number of other teams’ 7-5 records. Mizzou quarterback James Franklin had an impressive 7.75 yards per attempt average, which resulted in a 141.3 efficiency rating. If Franklin plays up to his potential or at least avoid untimely fumbles that dogged him during the regular season, Missouri has more weapons than North Carolina.
Why North Carolina Will Win
The college football betting  experts who are looking at this contest have to be mindful of the “grumble factor,” or when a team doesn’t want to play in a particularly low-rent bowl game. For a season that started with high expectations, the Missouri Tigers probably didn’t land in the postseason destination they had hoped for. Coach Gary Pinkel’s team was selected to play in the Independence Bowl this past Sunday. Sadly for the Tigers, Shreveport, Louisiana, is a familiar location for the Missouri faithful. This will be the third time in nine years that the Tigers will be playing in the Independence Bowl. And people wondered why the higher-ups in Columbia were looking so hard to get out of the Big 12 Conference.
The thing that is extra hard for people in Missouri to wrap their heads around is that their Tigers were passed over by four Big 12 bowl games that selected teams with worse or identical records. This should come as no surprise to Missouri fans, who have gotten used to being left behind when bowl selection time comes around. If you really want to get a Missouri Tiger’s blood boiling just bring up the BCS bowl selection process in 2007, when Mizzou beat Kansas late in the season but got passed over for the Orange Bowl by the Jayhawks.
Despite all of this, there is still a football game that needs to played against a very competitive bunch from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Hopefully there are no Christmas hangovers for both teams, since the game between the Tigers and coach Everett Withers’ Tar Heels is the day after Christmas. However, a Missouri hangover is exactly what could give North Carolina a win.

Who Will Win
After a month off, James Franklin – the player, not the coach at Vanderbilt University – should play well. If that happens, Missouri should win this game. Period.

The 2011 Little Caesars Bowl might be scheduled for the 27th day of December, but it will re-create the feeling of a September college football game. An explanation will follow.
Western Michigan Broncos vs. Purdue Boilermakers – Tuesday, December 27
Sports betting line: Purdue -2.5
Why Western Michigan Will Win
When you do your homework and assess your best best sportsbook on this game, you need to realize that Big Ten-MAC games in September are natural occurrences. The occasions are perilous for the Big Ten’s lower-division teams, and they’re gleaming opportunities for the upwardly mobile programs in the MAC. The big brother-little brother contrast found in the relationship between these two conferences won’t always generate the highest levels of intrigue, but when evenly-matched teams from the Big Ten and the MAC get together, pigskin passions can run high.
Western Michigan went 0-2 in its regular-season tour of the Big Ten. The Broncos and coach Bill Cubit were thrashed by Michigan and then nipped by Illinois in a three-point game, 23-20. Western Michigan didn’t steal a Big Ten scalp in the regular season, but those two games did enable the Broncos to become a better and more resilient outfit. WMU won at Connecticut and used that win in New England to catapult itself into the second half of the season. Thrust into a nighttime tilt with Miami of Ohio, the Broncos used a sturdy defense to dig out a 24-21 win which enabled them to finish the year at 7-5, 5-3 in the MAC. In a season when Northern Illinois, Toledo and Ohio formed the class of the Mid-American Conference, Western Michigan’s fourth-place finish (third in the MAC West Division) represents a solid accomplishment the whole team can feel proud of.
Why Purdue Will Win
The college football betting  experts who are looking at this contest are aware that Purdue was not expected to make a bowl game. Purdue should also be satisfied with its progress this season under veteran coach Danny Hope. Everything looked bleak for the Boilermakers after an embarrassing early-season loss to Rice, but this team stabilized itself instead of spiraling out of control. A rugged win over Illinois in late October followed by a rousing overtime upset of Ohio State on Nov. 12 gave the Boilers the chance to lock down a bowl bid with a season-ending win over Indiana. The Boilermakers wobbled at times, but they won on the road to claim the Old Oaken Bucket and a postseason invite. An overachieving team is the kind of team that can be trusted in a bowl game.

Who Will Win
It’s Purdue’s overachieving ways against Western Michigan’s resilience. The sense here is that Western Michigan is battle-tested enough to handle anything Purdue can throw its way. Take the Broncos over the Boilermakers in a win for the Mid-American Conference.

My girlfriend and i are in college now. I graduate in 2013 and will start graduate school right after. I attend a university and she goes to a community college about 30 minutes away. We were best friends literally all through high school but i had fell in love with her during that time. We finally started dating last year when she admitted that she loves me to. And ever since, we have been nearly perfect and lately we have been talking about marriage. But the problem is, I play college football and won’t have time to work to buy a ring and all I get in financial aid for school that i was planning on using. I don’t want to get her a cheap ring either but i feel like anything that I can afford is cheap to her. Another great problem is that her mom doesn’t want her to date me I’m black she’s Columbiana. So we have been hiding the relationship from her. Her mom thinks that we are still just best friends. She said that if her daughter dates me, she will disown her and kick her out but my girl doesn’t have anywhere else to live because I live on campus and every few months, I have to change dorms for football and my coaches won’t allow it. We really do want to be together for ever but her mom just doesn’t like black people. She even blocked BET. It’s silly because my girlfriend’s dad is black. So what should I do? How much to pay, when. I really need advice

not now you need to wait until you are done with school and get a good career rings cost money

Get her a promise ring instead

Just wait to get married until you both are financially ready (weddings, rings= Exxxpensiiiveee) , if you’re really in love as you say you are then waiting shouldn’t be too hard, right? That way you both can make the best of it and as for her mom, she’s just gonna have to get over it. She’s being a little hypocritical. Just be as respectful as possible when you’re around her mom.

If you’re still together, 2015 or later.

You could discuss with you family, however don’t be anxious. True love won’t be changed by anything includes time.

Southern Miss overcame the online betting spread to win the Conference-USA title, and they’ll head into the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve to face Nevada, a team that is built similar to the Golden Eagles, especially offensively. But due to a few injuries and a defense that takes advantage of mistakes, the Golden Eagles should be able cruise to their 12th win of the season.

What: NCAA Football Betting
When: Saturday, December 24th, 8:00 PM ET
Where: Aloha Stadium, Honolulu, HI
Pick: Southern Miss Golden Eagles -6.5

Why Bet On Nevada Wolf Pack (7-5 SU, 5-2 WAC, 5-7 ATS)

The Wolf Pack started off slow with four straight road games, losing three at Oregon, Texas Tech and Boise State, but head coach Chris Ault got the team back on track and they would have run the table to the WAC title if not for four-point losses to Louisiana Tech and Utah State, the two teams above them in the conference. The Wolf Pack are fifth in the country offensively, despite going between Tyler Lantrip and Cody Fajardo under center. The backfield is powered by the duel threat of Lampford Mark and Mike Ball, but Fajardo leads the team with 11 rushing touchdowns and Stefphon Jefferson averaged 6.1 yards a carry. Out of the pistol offense, Nevada can run any number of weapons at you. The defense is decent, ranking 52nd, but they’re 56th against the rush and 63rd against the pass. The rush defense has problems, but both aspect of Nevada’s defense has to step up because Southern Miss can hurt you either way.

Receiver Rishard Matthews (knee) was injured in a 56-3 rout of Idaho on Senior Day as the Wolf Pack were trying to get him enough receptions to lead the conference (which he did), and he should be fine for this game, while both quarterbacks, Lantrip (concussion) and Fajardo (ankle), are dealing with ailments. You’ll probably see both in this game (unless Lantrip isn’t cleared), but look for the Wolf Pack to lean even more heavily on the ground game. As a program, Nevada is 4-6 SU in bowl games and is going bowling for the seventh straight year. They’ve split two trips to the Hawaii Bowl, edging Central Florida in 2005 and then getting troubled by SMU in 2009.

Why Bet On Southern Miss Golden Eagles (11-2 SU, 6-2 C-USA, 8-4 ATS)

NCAA football betting players didn’t give the No.21 Golden Eagles much of a chance against Houston in the Conference-USA game; the Cougars were aiming for a BCS bowl and the title game was being played in Houston’s stadium. But Southern Miss played like a team with nothing to lose and rolled the Cougars 49-28 for their first conference championship since 2003 and the Golden Eagles did it with an offense that is incredibly balanced, finishing 23rd in rushing and 31st in passing for a total-offense ranking of 13th, although their opponents are balanced as well. Austin Davis owns most of Southern Miss’ records, but he gets plenty of help from running back Tracy Lampley, who is also dangerous in the passing game and as a punt returner, and like the Wolf Pack, the Golden Eagles are deep in the backfield. The defense is ranked 70th in passing defense, but they’re ninth in pass efficiency defense and even though they’re prone to giving up yards through the air, they force a ton of turnovers and only four teams in the nation have more interceptions than the Golden Eagles. Southern Miss is 9-12 in bowl games and this will be their tenth consecutive bowl game, but they’ve lost three of their last four.

The Golden Eagles were angry that no one had any faith in them and essentially put Houston in a BCS bowl; Southern Miss was still angry after whipping the Cougars as they felt they should have been in a BCS bowl and they’ll have to carry that over to this game against a very similar team. The Golden Eagles can make a big statement by blowing out the Wolf Pack and head coach Larry Fedora isn’t likely to let them forget that.

How It Will Play Out

Southern Miss enters this NCAA football betting matchup as 6.5-point favorites in Hawaii against Nevada, who have lost all three of their meetings with the Golden Eagles, but the two haven’t met since the 1990s. This is an excellent matchup to pass the time on Christmas Eve as the potential for a shootout is there whenever these two take to the field. Both teams have variety on offense and they have depth in the backfield, which means they can wear you down.

The edge goes to Southern Miss due to Nevada’s problems at quarterback and whoever is under center against the Golden Eagles, they’ll have to avoid turnovers against an opportunistic Southern Miss defense. In the end, Southern Miss has a chance to cap a glorious season with a victory and they’ll take advantage of the Nevada quarterbacks en route to covering the sports betting spread.
