New Years Eve Armed Forces Parlay – Navy vs. Missouri and Air Force vs. Houston
Special New Years Eve Military Parlay
Two of the five 2009 New Year’s Eve bowl games feature teams representing the US Armed Forces. In the Armed Forces Bowl, the Air Force Falcons play the Houston Cougars in Fort Worth Texas and in Houston, the Navy Midshipmen take on the Missouri Tigers in the Texas Bowl.
Both Air Force and Navy are underdogs in their Bowl games but I’m feeling a little patriotic, so I’m going to place a two-team parlay at the BetUS.com sportsbook.
OK, I said I was feeling patriotic but maybe patriotic wasn’t the right word to use because I’m betting against both of the military teams in their New Year’s Eve bowl games.
