Stephen Nover's Bowl Total of the Week - 53-33 CFB!
(NCAAF) Middle Tennessee vs. Appalachian State,
Total: 47.50 | -111.00 Under
Result: Win
Total: 47.50 | -111.00 Under
Result: Win
I find this total low given the quality of the offenses and this game being played on a fast track inside the Louisiana Superdome.
Yes, Appalachian State has a strong defense. But the Mountaineers also have a strong, balanced offense that averages 36.7 points a game. Their quarterback, Zac Thomas, is a dual threat so Middle Tennessee State has to respect both the pass and run. The Blue Raiders' defense has shown signs of slippage surrendering 27 or more points in three of their last four games.
I've always liked Blue Raiders QB Brent Stockstill. He had another big season throwing for 3,214 yards and 28 touchdowns. Middle Tennessee State averaged nearly 30 points a game and close to 400 yards per contest. The Blue Raiders also have a balanced attack.
