These two advanced college football betting models have premium picks Saturday: In the afternoon LA Bowl (Washington State Cougars vs. Fresno State Bulldogs) and the evening LendingTree Bowl (Rice Owls vs. Southern Miss Golden Eagles).

Fresno State is -4 vs. Washington State. Southern Miss, meanwhile, sits at -6.5 against Rice.
