A running dog, is a team that has a better run defense and rushing offense and are underdog.
They usually do pretty good during bowl season. I also make bigger bets on running dog teams that are against public money, So far these are the teams I'm gonna play. I put a star next to the team that are against public money as of right now. That might change come gameday. You're probably wondering why Kstate is in there when they're the favorites. Well in my eyes they're dogs coz of public perception and public money, ML wise are on Rosen and UCLA. Pls let me know if I missed anything. Again, bet now or wait and shop for better lines. Good luck to everyone this bowl season and Happy holidays!

Florida Intl +7
Northern Illinois +4.5*
Kansas St ML *
Southern Miss. +17
Michigan St. +2
Mississippi st +7*
Washington +2*

Teams that are worth looking at, I'm not sure if I'll play these teams yet but so far I only like Navy and Vtech.

Fresno St

FIU, Kansas St, So. Miss and Miss St. are close, but they aren't running dogs. Appy St. IS a running dog. So far the running dogs are 3-0 in the bowls.

What is the definition of better run defense and rushing offense?

Team A avg 100 per game. Team, B avg 90 per game
Team A avg 3.5 per rush, Team B avg 4.0 per rush

Which is the better rushing offense?

Same with defense, which metric are we looking at?

Ketch, I sent you a PM.....Guys, naturally like any other games, you can't bet the running dogs blind. This isn't a system play. It's based on the fundamentals of college football. Being able to run the ball (controlling the tempo of the game) and being able to stop the run. But things you need to consider before betting on them are injuries (for example Miss State's leading rusher is out for the year). You also have to be careful of a conference jump in class. All of the running dogs who won last Saturday were from games in which their opponents conference was of similar strength to their own (crossover games). None of the teams had to take a big jump in class. You also have to look at the motivational factors and other intangibles surrounding the game.

0-1 ytd with app st playing

I really believe that FIU takes that game against Temple if the starting qb didn't get injured in that 1st series. It was a 7-3 game late in that 3rd qtr and all hell broke loose. That backup qb was awful btw.

I'm also playing UCLA +7.5 bought a hook, hoping to hit the middle since I played Kansas st ML already. Rosen will not be playing that game.
