THE PLAY: NC State -35.5 (-115)
(306589) Texas Southern at (306590) NC State
NC State -35.5 (-115)
exas Southern Overview
- Non-Conference Scheduling: Texas Southern traditionally faces a brutal non-conference schedule, ranking in the top 10 toughest schedules the last three seasons, to generate revenue for their athletic department.
- Conference ATS Performance: Since November 10, 2024, the Tigers are 2-14 ATS in conference games.
- Playing Style: They play at an uptempo pace, ranked #45 in tempo.
- Defensive Challenges: Their defense allows a shot every 15.2 seconds, which can make it easier for opponents, particularly strong ones, to cover large spreads.
NC State Wolfpack Overview
- Recent ATS Performance as Big Favorites: NC State has covered 5 of their last 6 games as a favorite of -12 and higher.
- Offensive Strengths:
- Ranked #38 in offensive tempo, indicating a fast-paced offensive game.
- Excellent from beyond the arc, ranked #30 in three-point shooting percentage.
- Matchup Advantage: NC State's strengths are particularly pronounced against a team like Texas Southern, which has a #356-ranked defense.
THE PLAY: Old Dominion +3.5 (-115)
(201) Old Dominion at (202) South Florida
Old Dominion +3.5 (-115)
Context and Trends
- Excitement Edge: Old Dominion has a potential excitement advantage playing their bowl game in Orlando, which contrasts with South Florida's relative proximity, just under two hours away, possibly leading to a less unique experience for them.
South Florida Bulls Overview
- Current Form: Coming off back-to-back wins as an underdog, which are traditionally challenging to sustain in ATS performance. Historical data shows teams in this scenario are 77-95-2 (44.5%) ATS.
- Offensive Performance Trend: Bowl teams scoring 35+ points in back-to-back games face difficulties maintaining ATS success thereafter, shown by a record of 45-78-2 (36.6%) ATS.
Quarterback Situation
Opt-Outs: Both teams are without their starting quarterbacks, impacting game dynamics and reliability on offensive trends.
