    12/27 Bowls

    i think you have me confused with slum and jord. :) it may fluctuate from time to time, but generally speaking, my base (1-unit) wager for football is $50. so i had $250 on navy today. well, $450, including the 1H bet. that's enough for me. i rarely go much higher than that. sounds like...

    New Mexico Bowl well, the huge question mark in this one... will ben wooldridge play? supposedly, he will. who knows how healthy or how rusty he'll be? he's finishing up an injury-plagued career. in fact, the last two seasons, he missed ULL's bowl game, so this would be his first. if...

    Pinstripe Bowl more miserable weather. mid-40s and a lot of rain. perfect matchup for this weather. two mediocre power 5 teams. James took over as the starting QB for BC the last 3 games. BC went 2-1, beating UNC and Pitt at home and losing by 10 at SMU. Freshman Raiola played like...

    12/28 Bowls

    gonna start with a brief (i hope) chat about motivation for a football game. obviously it's a huge topic, and rightfully so, during bowl season. but i feel like it's very misunderstood. just because a team isn't fired up to play a particular game doesn't mean they're not going to play hard on...

    Definite LOCK of the YEAR

    so i usually record these games and then FF between plays, so i don't hear much of the regular announcer bs. but what little i heard of her was a special brand of awful. OU ran a QB draw. it was clearly a draw. QB took the snap, paused, then headed for the hole where they were blocking for...

    Las Vegas Bowl i miss the days when BYU was frequently in the LV Bowl, because i loved the thought of a bunch of mormons running around vegas for a few days. ok, i gotta keep this one short. these are the bowl games i hate. 2 teams that don't want to be here. ton of players missing. USC...

    Liberty Bowl i'm going to include the entire piece from actionnetwork.com, because there's a lot. Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley left to take the head-coaching job at FAU. Texas Tech also let go of defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter. Texas Tech Transfer Portal Starting OT Ty...

    12/27 Bowls

    one note, before i forget... i can't bet syracuse games, so i won't spend time on the holiday bowl. but fran brown is in his first year at syracuse. so far, the trend has continued... coaches in their first year at the school are 1-4 ATS this year, with one more today (Mike Elko). Birmingham...

    12/27 Bowls

    yeah, i assume the big line move was due to OK missing almost literally all of their starting skill position players. and now it's probably just steam.

    12/27 Bowls

    Armed Forces Bowl oklahoma is missing their qb and top 4 receivers, leaving them with no receivers over 22 catches. hawkins, their qb for this game, replaced a benched Arnold in the tennessee game. he then started at auburn and the texas game. overall, his numbers were similar to Arnold...

    68 Ventures Bowl now we have a bowl game sponsored by... a series of children's books? maybe a hedge fund? ok, the game we've all been waiting for. bowling green vs arkansas st! when the season started, we were all hoping for this matchup. even drooling over the possibility that it could...

    12/26 Bowls

    about 20 minutes before this game, i was going to attempt some quick handicapping, when an old friend called who i hadn't talked to in almost a year. nearly 90 minutes later... well, i missed out on the detroit bowl, or whatever it's called now. i placed a live bet on the under two plays...

    Hawai'i Bowl

    they had the game scheduled for 3 1/2 hours. i set the DVR for an extra hour. i had about 5 minutes left on the recording when it ended. when USF scored in the first OT to go up 34-27, i was trying to remember what # i had in that parlay. i knew it was 60.5 or 61.5. once i realized what i...

    Who doesn't have Netflix?

    we have netflix... i'll have money on the games... and still no chance in hell i'm watching them. i can't stand watching the nfl except on redzone. and i really hate watching sports on streaming. haven't watched a single thursday night game this year, and it's been nice. oddly, i've had...

    Hawai'i Bowl

    just watched the final 7 minutes of regulation and the OTs. good thing i set it to record an extra hour. was just barely enough. wow, that was certainly a christmas gift to all of us. and quite the roller coaster in OT.
