YTD 53-22
Future Bets 4-2
After a two month break I'm back to pick up where I left off. Although I feel some of the best value is in the earlier bowl games there are 5 picks for the remaining schedule:
Oregon +6 - once the books hit at this number I jumped all over it. Most books had it at 5.5 the past two days and I'm not sure why. Looking at the two teams I find it hard to believe Minnesota will run away with this game as is being predicted. Oregon ended the year on a positive beating 3 solid teams in Cal, UCLA and OSU. I'll take the points here as Minnesota had one solid win all year against Wisconsin (37-34) and even then they had to hold on and win
Fla -3.5
Iowa/Fla Under 47.5 -Two programs going in opposite directions at this point. Although they lost to FSU, Leak and Co. have a ton of momentum going into this game and their defense is the only question mark. I see Leak giving the Iowa defense all kinds of trouble and using his feet to do the most damage. Not a high scoring game at all as Iowa will commit to the run and their excellent kicker will probably hit 3 FG's. 24-16 sounds about right.
Purdue +3.5 - More of a bet against Georgia with all of their injuries and suspensions than anything else. Purdue has the best defense in the Big-10 and I'm leaning towards the Under is this game as well. Purdue has not given up more than 16 points in their L4 and GA defense, aside from the ass-kicking @LSU, had been solid all year. Orten and Co. get it done with a rare win for the Big-10 this bowl season.
Tenn -5 - Oh, what might have been... Clausen never lived up to his hype although he has the team playing their best in his 4 years at Tenn. With a 6 game winning streak this is finally the team most people expected to see the past two years. Fulmer and Co. should roll over Clemson is a high scoring game. Line should be 7-8 easy...
Best of luck to all and Happy New Year!
