Arkansas State vs. Bowling Green ATS Prediction

Bowling Green to cover the spread: -7.5

Best odds: -120 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 54.55%

Despite suffering more notable portal attrition than Arkansas State, the Falcons have a chance to take advantage of one of the worst defenses in the nation (124th in total defense).

Bowling Green, on the other hand, ranks 20th nationally in total defense. This is a spread that we think should be in the double digits, so we like the value of betting on the Falcons.

Battle-tested falcons keep their abilities

Although Bowling Green dropped its regular-season finale to Miami (OH), it was riding a five-game winning streak by 10-plus points before that. During non-conference play, the Falcons went to Penn State and Texas A&M and nearly came away with two upsets in what ended up being competitive one-possession losses.

Arkansas State, meanwhile, ranks 116th in overall adjusted efficiency and accumulated six of its seven slim wins against FCS foes or teams that ranked outside the top 100 in the metric.

Connor Bazelak Under 216.5 Passing Yards

Best odds: -115 via bet365 | Implied probability: 53.49%

The ground defense is where you want to look to exploit Arkansas State when it comes to player props, as the Red Wolves allow a whopping 225.5 rushing yards per game.

But because Bowling Green will be without lead running back Terion Stewart in this bowl matchup, the tackle market is currently devoid of Falcons rushing tackles.

Our view is that Bowling Green is likely to be successful on the ground regardless of who runs the rock. So we tone down the quarterback’s involvement.

An expected positive play script for the Falcons could leave Connor Bazelak short of his 216.5-yard passing streak, a mark he has eclipsed just once over his last five games.
