COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL PICK: Take the under. According to latest college football trends, the under is 4-0 in the Falcons' last four Thursday games and 6-1 in their last seven games following a straight up win. The under is also 5-1 in Bowling Green's last six games versus a team with a winning record and 20-8 in the team's last 28 games overall. On the other side, the under is 5-2 in the Spartans' last seven non-conference games and 6-2 in their last eight games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous contest. San Jose State ranks fifth nationally with 40 sacks and Bowling Green is ninth with 37. Both offensive lines will struggle to contain the opposing team's defensive front and thus, the offenses will have trouble generating points on what could be a hard RFK Stadium surface. Plus, with the Spartans losing head coach Mike MacIntyre (pictured) to Colorado, their offense may be out of sync early and often.
