Bettors tend to approach bowl season in different ways. While some like to get in on the action in every single game, others wait until later in the proceedings, when the bigger teams come to play, to get in on the action. With Christmas now out of the way, we are getting to the point where those bigger bowl games are starting to appear on the schedule. There is quite a bit going on today, but for the purposes of this piece, we are focusing on the Military Bowl. This one has Virginia Tech and Tulane squaring off in what promises to be a game with a lot of offense, so you might want to buckle in and get ready for the action. It is the Hokies who come in as a 10 ½ point favorite, with the total for this one set at 43 ½. Let’s take a closer look at how this one might play out.

Virginia Tech Hokies

The Hokies needed a win in the final game of the regular season just to become bowl eligible, which they did with a crushing 55-17 win over their big rivals, the Virginia Cavaliers. Ideally, they would have liked this game to come sooner so that the momentum from that big win might carry over, but with a few weeks gone since that one, you do have to wonder where their mindset is at this point. With that win, the Hokies did finish out the season quite well, winning 4 of their last 6 games, but even when they were losing, they were still a very good bet against the spread, covering in 6 of their last 8 games overall. They are also 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games that they started as the favorite. They have seen the OVER hit in each of their last 5 meetings with teams from the AAC.

Tulane Green Wave

If you want to talk about mindset ahead of a bowl game, you need to talk about the Tulane Green Wave. On the face of it, they had a very solid season, going 11-2, but they also ended up losing in the AAC Championship Game, going down to SMU in that one. Are they looking to make a statement by beating a Power 5 team in their bowl game, or are they going to have the disappointment of that loss carry over into this one? While they have gone 10-1 over their last 11 games, they are just 0-8 SU in their last 8 meetings with a team from the ACC. They are also 3-17 SU in the last 20 games they started as the underdog, while going just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The UNDER has hit in each of their last 5 games.

Military Bowl Score Prediction Virginia Tech vs Tulane

While the Green Wave easily have the better record of the two teams here, they are still on a lower level overall. With that in mind, I like the Virginia Tech Hokies to win and cover in this one, plus I also like the OVER.
