There are just two bowl games on today's schedule, with five to be played on Thursday and the traditional New Year's Day slate of games to be played Friday. Wednesday's match-ups don't look too particularly enticing, but will no doubt still receive plenty of wagering action.

The first game of the day pits Idaho and Bowling Green in the Humanitarian Bowl. The game, between a pair of 7-5 teams, will be played in Idaho, which should give the Vandals an advantage. Both teams are capable of scoring plenty of points and will want to entertain viewers in a rare nationally televised game. Idaho is now favored by one and the total is 68.

Points figure to be much tougher to come by in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. Nebraska struggled a bit offensively this year and Arizona can play tough defense. But the Wildcats' offense is nothing to get too terribly excited about either.

Nebraska is favored by three and the total is 40.5

There are plenty of other contests on today's schedule, with a large NCAA basketball slate, along with good-sized schedules in the NBA and NHL.

Today's football plays are up at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
