Have you made a New Year’s resolution(s)? I’ve decided on mine – I’m going to go undefeated on my daily best bet articles for 2025. Yep, I’m going 365-0. Two days down, 363 to go. For my best bet for Friday, January 3rd: College Football Predictions, we’re checking in on another bowl game, this time the (checks notes) SERVPRO First Responder Bowl going down in Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
Best Bet For Friday (January 3rd): College Football Predictions
North Texas Mean Green vs Texas State Bobcats
Start Time – 4:00 PM EST
For the second year in a row, the First Responder Bowl will be an all-Texas affair, with last year’s winner – the Texas State Bobcats – returning to take on the North Texas Mean Green. And if the bookmakers know anything (they normally do), the Bobcats have a very good shot at pulling off the repeat.
However, while Texas State is the superior team and will probably win this game, I don’t think they’ll cover the large spread. The North Texas Mean Green is by no means a good team – especially on defense – but when you dive into the advanced stats, they shouldn’t be more than a 3.5-point dog in this spot. The value is on the Mean Green on the spread.
Best Bet: North Texas +14 (-115)
Best Bet Overall Record: 154-132 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $709.93
Return on Investment: 2%
