The latest college football odds for this bowl game have the Mountaineers listed as 2.5 point favorites with the total set at 49. The Mountaineers finished at 5-2 in the Big East and fell just short of winning the Big East. Instead they gladly accepted the invite to the Champs Bowl.

On offense the Mountaineers are led by superstar running back Noel Devine. His Heisman campaign never developed, but he still remains a threat out of the backfield as a rusher and pass receiving specialist. Quarterback Geno Smith threw for 2567 yards and 23 touchdowns on the season and seems to be improving with every game he plays. Although he has had an excellent season he is the second best quarterback on the field in this game. The Wolfpack are led by junior gun slinger Russell Wilson who lit up opposing defenses for over 3,000 yards through the air and nine scores on the ground. Owen Spencer is his favorite target out of the backfield and the Wolfpack have a very sound offense that can score against any defense in the league. For as good as this offense is, this game will be all about defense.

The Wolfpack are an amazing 21-8-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 30 games as an underdog and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 bowl games. The Mountaineers are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 against the ACC and just 2-6 ATS in their last eight bowl games.

Wilson will be able to offset the Mountaineer pass rush with his legs and the Wolfpack will win the Champs Bowl.
