Bowl Games

[theshiek]

LW 0-2
Reg Season 87-104-3

Let's hope bowl season is better than reg season. Let the games begin.

Ut St -6- US QB Love needs a showcase game after the pot incident. He's being mentioned as a possible 1st rounder. Too much
talent for Kent to overcome.

SD St -3- Hate laying pts w/ D minded SDS, but CMU D is average at best.

SDS >41 Last 5 SDS games have been 37 or less. Contrarian play here.

FAU +3- Despite Kiffin being gone, FAU hangs with SMU and nips them at the end.

Boise +3 More a play against Wash, despite it being Peterson's last game.

App St +16- ASU ran away with LY's NO Bowl. A bit worried they're complacent, but new coach and wanting to prove they should
be considered for non-Power 5 bowl slot in coming years. Blowout.

TY Hawk. Hope everything getting better with your family.

Bowls 3-4

La Tech +7 Basically a home game for Tech. Several Miami starters sitting out, saving themselves for the NFL. Although the
Canes are more talented, that hasn't translated to W's this year vs inferior (?) opps. Think Tech is more motivated.
Can't believe Canes want to be in S'port for Xmas.

La Tech >48- Been thinking about this one. No good reason to like the over, I just do. Based on my record it's a def fade. Just
think (hope) Diaz opens up the Mia O today so should see some big plays. Will probably need a turnover or 2 (short
field) to get this, but it's worth a shot.

The reasons you give would lean me towards the under. GL on the play. I?ll root for ya. opcorn2

That'll teach me to add a late pick. Kudos to the under bettors. They could have played 4 OTs and that one wouldn't have gone over. Saw an article just before the game that Canes may fire their OC. I'd say his fate is sealed. Not all his fault, but somebody needs to go under the bus for that performance.

Tomorrow's early one:

Temple +6- Just like the way Owls play. UNC games always seem close. Plus, if Canes are an indication, it's going to be a long
bowl season for the ACC.

Bowls 4-6 (already counting the Temple debacle)

MSU -3- Try another bad team. I keep waiting on MSU O to show up. Maybe today. Will probably need a D score to cover this.

Bowls 5-6

From a quick look a few folks picks, seems like I'm going against the grain today. Hate being on the other side, but so it goes.

PSU -7 Memp stepping up in class here. Think they hang for a half, but PSU wears 'em down. New play callers on both sides
today, plus new DC for Memp. THis late in the season not sure those are important However, Memp will be w/o LT who
started all 13 games TY. Left the team "mutually".

PSU >59 Memp will get enough to push this one over. 42-27

I St +4 ND's last 4-5 games impressive, but competition had name recognition only. Scrappy ISU hangs tough, and won't be
surprised if they pull out a W.

OU +14 Banking OU O can keep getting pts. LSU is good, but I think this line is inflated. Biggest worry is Hurts ball security.

OU >76 It's a huge number, but I see a track meet. Both teams need to keep the pedal down because the other team is
that explosive.

OSU +2- I'll probably hold out to see I can get 3, but need to get this in. Key to the game will be OSU getting pressure on QB.
Both teams will see speed they haven't seen yet this year.

Bowls 8-9

Ill +6- Pts should be a premium. I'll take 'em

L'ville >63 L'ville gives it up like a cheap hooker. They'll get enough to put it way over.

Flor -14- If Gators want to be here they romp.

Bowls 9-11

Two last minute TDs yesterday. One good, one not.

VT -2 This will be a grinders game. Like VT's O a little better.

K St +2- Like the Power 5 team here.

Geo St +7 I'll grab pts in a close game

Ut -7 Utah out to prove a point.

Bowls 9-15

Bowls going about like reg season, but didn't get beat at the end as many times in the reg season. Watching the game I mentioned to a friend that VT and my -2 were toast when they kicked the FG with 4th and 3 from the 9 in Q4 The way nobody was stopping anyone, they needed the TD to go up 10. Worst case was poor field, and maybe UK plays for the FG and OT. K St was crushing as well. Kudos for Navy on the 4th down HB option call. Oh well, at least I got blown out in the other 2.

Here we go for you faders out there.

Aub -7 If Auburn shows up, they win easily. Minny improving ,but not physical or deep enough yet.

Aub >54- 35-24 type game

Mich +7- Banking on 'Bama not being 100% into since it's not the playoffs. Harbaugh's job is safe, but he needs this one.

Mich >59 Even w/o a motivated 'Bama they do have O firepower.

Ore +3 Might be the best game of the day.

Baylor +5 I'll bite because of all the Geo injuries and sit outs.

Bowls 11-19

Can't wait for Bowl season to end

Indy +3- Why not

Indy > 55- 31-28 is my guess

Bowls 12-20

Went 1-1 last time out. Felt like a winning day.

SMiss +7- Classic passing vs running matchup. Going w/ pts here as I don't see much difference, other than their styles. Both
lost to the better teams in their confs, and beat who they were supposed to beat. As a bonus, if I need a back cover at
least I'm on the passing team.
