Duke Blue Devils vs Arizona State Sun Devils December 27, 02:00 EST

Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso has Duke Blue Devils trying to win a bowl game for the first time in five attempts while Arizona State Sun Devils aim for a second Bowl victory in it's past six Bowl appearances.

Duke's sturdy defense allowing 20.6 points/game will surely be tested in this contest by a potent Arizona State attack churning out 446.5 total yards, 37.0 points/game which is sparked by QB Taylor Kelly's 1874 PassY, 232 RusY, 23 TD's and Foster's 1002 RusY, 646 RecY 12 majors. ASU's high powered offense is being given the nod by oddsmakers as Sun Devils have been pegged 7.5 point favorites.

No likely upset but Todd Graham's troops are in dangerous betting territory. Sun Devils have not responded vs the betting line away from Temple posting a 5-7 ATS record, 3-6 ATS last nine away as chalks of seven or more points, 1-5 ATS last six at a neutral site and just 2-8 ATS scoring 30 or less points. On the other side, Blue Devils have been cash cows grabbing the loot in 14 of it's last 20 games including 8-3 ATS away from home.

Matchup Skinny Tech Trend

VIRGINIA TECH vs. CINCINNATI (Military Bowl)...
Beamer's 22nd straight bowl for VPI, he's 9-11-1 vs. spread the previous 21 bowls since '93 season. But Hokies only 5-7 vs. line TY and 17-34-1 vs. number since late 2010. Tuberville 7-0 SU, 6-0-1 vs. line down stretch with Bearcats this season. Teams met in 2009 Orange Bowl (Beamer a 20-7 winner over Brian Kelly's Cincy).

Cincy, based on recent trends.


DUKE vs. ARIZONA STATE (Sun Bowl)...
Duke third straight bowl for first time. Todd Graham 4-1 SU and vs. lien in bowls, but ASU only 5-7 vs. line away from Tempe past two seasons. Blue Devils 18-7-1 vs. line since 2013, and 7-3 as dog over that span. David Cutcliffe also 5-1 vs. line in bowls with Ole Miss & Duke.

Duke, based on team trends.


MIAMI-FLA vs. SOUTH CAROLINA (Duck Commander Independence Bowl)...
Canes 1-5 vs. line last six bowls, and Miami no covers last three this season. Canes also 2-8 vs. number last 10 away from home, and 6-14 overall last 20 vs. spread since early 2013. Spurrier has won his last three bowls and is 9-5-1 vs. points last 15 vs. non-SEC foes and 15-8 last 23 as dog since 2009.

South Carolina, based on team trends.


PENN STATE vs. BOSTON COLLEGE (Yankee Pinstripe Bowl)...
Penn State only 2-6 vs. spread down the stretch in 2014. Also 1-4 vs. spread away from home and 2-9 vs. number last 11 away from Happy Valley. BC covered 7 of last 10 this season and is 14-8 vs. number last 22 on board.

BC, based on team trends.


NEBRASKA vs. SOUTHERN CAL (Holiday Bowl)...
Interestingly, this is SC's first-ever appearance in the Holiday Bowl. Sarkisian 3-1 SU and vs. line in bowls with U-Dub. But Trojans only 2-4 vs. line away from home TY. Huskers 5-2 as dog since last season and 5-4 vs. line last nine bowls.

Slight to Nebraska, based on team trends.

12/27: Saturday CFB Free Pick: Nebraska/USC Under the total.

USC has a talented defense and Nebraska is 6-1 under the total in bowls, 20-7 under the total on natural grass. It is a run-oriented offense for the Huskers, but USC has a strong D-line. The under is 7-0-1 in the Trojans last 8 games in December, too.
