Your free pick winner for Monday is on the under 56 in the Bowl game between Georgia Tech and Air Force.

I am not going to write War and Peace here because there are a few simple factors that I am buying into here and that is enough for me to believe there will be less points than the oddsmaker seems to believe.

For one, both teams run this triple option attack and therefore both defenses play against it on a daily basis in practice and also have had a few extra weeks to prepare for it in this game which can be nothing but advantageous. This is not a regular week where an opponent gets its three or four days to prepare for a much different offense. These squads have had ample amount of time to figure out what they pretty much already know. Certainly executing is another step in defending today’s foe but both defenses will be as prepared as any team ever could be against the option.

I also am all about the under as throwing the ball is not the norm for either squad and therefore we will see a lot of running and consequentially a lot of the clock ticking down. In the college game the clock obviously will stop when there’s a first down but we are going to see a lot of runs leading to a lot of time running down. With both teams understanding the opposing offense I just do not see big plays being the norm here, I really don’t. The defenses should be fairly disciplined and stay with their assignments until the end of plays limiting those 50 yard gallops.

It’s unusual to see a game like this and I really believe it is keeping the oddsmakers a bit off balance. Look for the defenses to be a step in front and for this thing to not get into the 50’s in the end.

For more information: Matt Rivers said I needed a quality Sunday and that is exactly what I got as the 400,000* Bears and 200,000* Redskins came through with flying colors. Washington obviously even won in the outright. I’m looking forward to another winning day here on Monday as I am releasing plays from basically three difference sports and all of the games involving teams from Hotlanta. Another 400,000* is here in this game from the Georgia Dome between the Saints and Falcons along with a pair of 200,000* involving Georgia Tech and Air Force on the gridiron and Fordham and Georgia Tech on the hardwoods. Three plays, three winners, no problem! Click now to purchase
