I'm in one of those "confidence" pools too, but straight up. I won my #28 last night with So. Miss. Tonight I have UTEP at #4.

Nice start to the bowl season

1-0 +2 units

For tonights two games, I think I might go against my pool pick and take BYU. Cal has showed last year that they didn't feet like being there as they were snubbed and didn't show up to their game against TT. This year, while they didn't get snubbed, it's still a minor bowl game and I don't think they will play as hard. Everything seems to point to Cal and everyone is all over Cal, but my money is going on BYU. I like the fact that BYU is 7-1 SU all time at this field.

In the second game I really like Navy. This will practically be a home game for them with the naval bases in SD. Also CSU struggled down the stretch going 1-2 in their final 3 games scoring only 16 points in those two loses and narrowly beating horrible UNLV team 31-27. So they aren't exactly coming in on a roll. Navy on the other hand comes in as winners of 3 of their last 4, with the lone loss being to BCS bound ND. Granted their 3 wins were against Tulane, Temple, and Army, but they were wins and give the team confidence to continue their winning ways against a CSU team that beat a bad UNLV team to get to this point.

BYU +8 -115 1 unit
Navy -3 -120 3 units
parlay Navy -3/under 61 1 unit to win 2.5

3-1 +6 units

only missed the parlay yesterday,

Going with the dog, in what amounts to a home game for Houston.

Hou +3.5 -105 4 units

 

[Kodiak9er]

Nice start and I like it to continue for you tonight...

gl this bowl season

 

[c20916]

Well yesterday wasn't a good day.

This is my best pick of the bowls so take that for what it's worth. I see this being a blowout for Nevada 41-24


Nevada -3 10 units

 

[c20916]

well eveyone knows how the nevada game turned out, that hurt.

3-4 -9.6 units

Today like everyone else I am on Memphis -4 2 units

 

[c20916]

back on the winning track after yesterday.

BTW could someone let me know if Williams was going for an NCAA record yesterday, I wasn't sure but I thought I heard the announcers say it like 500 times

Anyway on to today:

4-4 -7.6 units

Going with the two dogs today.

Colo +9.5 1 unit.

Ggoing into the game I feel like Colorado will play tough D and keep this game close. Plus it seems like Clemson was playnig in OT every week so why not here. Of course this could be one of those games, where I watch it and see how bad Colorado is and then I wonder why I put my money on them, lets hope not, but just throwing that out there.

Rutgers +10 1 unit

While Rutgers maybe happy to be here, I don't think ASU is, and their play will show it. None of ASU's wins really impress me. The only game they seemed to show something was against USC. I mean they did only beat AZ by 3 at home.

 

[c20916]

OK two more wins yesterday, albeit one was by a missed xp, and the other came thru the back door but a win is a win and I'll take it. Getting closer to being in the black.

6-4 -5.6 units

Todays games:

I now Boise is at home and they are 31-0 in their last 31 home games, and I know everyone is on BC, but I don't think this team has as many playmakers as past Boise teams, that won those previous bowl games in Boise.

Take a look at Boise's schedule this year and I see only one quality win, and that was Nevada. Their other wins were against Bowling Green, Hawaii, Portland State, San Jose St, New Mexico St, Utah St, Idaho and La Tech. Their 3 loses were all on the road, but 2 were against the bigger conferences, GA, Ore St, and the third on the road v a good Fresno St team. Other than this game being at home, I don't see a different outcome with Bosie stepping up in class against a better team who is looking to keep a streak of their own alive, winners of 5 straight bowl games, and they are looking to make it 6.

BC -2 4 units

in the other game, just a small play on Michigan -10 1 unit

 

[Clem D]

Good luck Im on both of them as well

 

[c20916]

Well BC made me nervous, but they still got the cover, and well Mich didn't get the job done.

Record 7-5 -2.7 units, getting closer to the black.

Don't like todays games that much, just two small plays:

Utah/GT ov 46 1 unit
OU +3 1 unit (following volfan on this one)

 

[c20916]

OK almost back in the black after yesterday:

9-5 -.7 units

I really like Minny today, I bet them yesterday at -4.5 5 units and was going to add some more today but I see the line has moved against me to -6.5 so I think I will just stick with my 5 units at -4.5.

The other games I like today are:

NW +3 1 unit
Mizzou +3.5 3 units

And I am passing on the LSU/Miami game

 

[c20916]

Adding one more play

Vir/Minny under 61 1 unit

I know the overs are like 11-3 or however many games have been played, but I just see both teams grinding it out on the gound and eating up the clock.

 

[Cappin Kirk]

I agree, I played the under at 60.5, now I see 61's and 62's out there.
