Bowling Season 2019 and the PAC 12 Days of Xmas

[Riff-Raff]

Bahamas Bowl
I bet a small amount of money on the Under at 57' when line opened on the advice of a couple of friends who said the weather forecast was possible precipitation and wind for this game, wishing I had put more on it but don't trust weather forecast so far away. Whoops, this game plummeted and now sits at 51' and I think their is still value here as both teams play strength on strength (ie : Charlotte is proficient at running the ball with a very good OL, while Buffalo ranks in in Top 30 of FBS in protecting the run and against explosive offenses. Bulls are in Top 8 of all FBS allowing 3 ypr all year. Add to the fact that gusts could hit 40 mph and this will more than likely limit big passing plays. Both teams are more comfortable running the ball so theres that.

Bahamas Bowl is a typically entertaining game and known for craziness and high scores and think this could end up entertaining also albeit with less scoring. I bought the Hook to get +7 with 49ersand since HC Healy decided to stay after being courted by Mizzou, no lame duck worries here. Bulls have never one a Bowl game and they could get upended here with Charlotte playing in its 1st FBS College Bowl.

Charlotte +7.....10 u

Under 51'.........7 u

Frisco Bowl:

I actually toyed with going to see this one but with full basketball slate menyana staying put.

Too much drama behind Mormons QB J Love and RB G. Bright getting arrested for Marijuana possession this week, and uncertainty as to whether Love would even suit up as he's a projected 1st RD QB and besides the arrest has to take into consideration getting hurt here, but HC is letting them play and they are certainly in the right city to be embraced for their Ganja fascination. Kent is playing in its 3rd Bowl Game of all time (lost both in '54 and' 72) but HC Sean Lewis seems to have the program playing in the right direction and I think the higher motivation is for Kent St to win this outright as they certainly played well down the stretch.

Total has been bet up to 67' and this one could see some points with neither D bringing much to the table and I'm betting a few dollars on that but my larger play is on Kent St +7......10 u / Over 67'....... 5 u

Good Luck

On the 1st Day of PAC 12 Days of Xmas...

Boise St +3'......10 u

*Anyone that has ever followed my Bowl Games posts should well know that despite living in PAC 12 territory, I have a healthy disdain for the conference and refuse to watch any game with a PAC 12 team involved. Over the years, I have made a healthy retirement nest egg simply betting against any PAC 12 team in each Bowl they participate in. I won't post my record over the years (just a tad superstitious) but suffice that over the years it has been a winning proposition. So with that said, let the Holidays begin.

Huskies sent Peterson out in style

Well Washington has me started out on a sour note, but I keep the faith

Iowa -2.......10 u

Air Force -2'......10 u

OK St/TX Am Under 55.......10 u *Also have 8 units on the 1st Half Under 27.... Aggies play one of the slowest tempos in College FB. Ok St last 3 games have been U. I see Sanders is playing now but question his efficiency and in 3 games he missed this season, Cowpokes could only come up with 18 pts.....I wish Madubuike was giving it a go but understand how freak injuries happen all the time. TXAM leading RB Wallace is playing also, and the Nation's leading rusher only needs 64 yds to get 2,000 yards, but I question if he will continue to play once he gets it. ...... Lots of?? marks make it a difficult task but think OKSt can pressure QB as Oline for Aggies is fairly weak.

Oh PAC 12 gives the gift that keeps on giving........ Back on track

Sadly, no PAC 12 to wager on today :0045

Guess I'll turn my attention to these College Playoff games..

Oklahoma +14........10 u *Books have been getting hammered on LSU money all week, and each time the number shoots up to 14, the bigger players shoot it back down. As of this moment there are plenty of +14 to be had, and I like Sooners chances to stay within the number. The 76 is the highest total in College Football Playoff History, and when the number opened at 79' sharps bet it down quickly. I'm sitting on the fence with this one. Oklahomas loss of DE R Perkins is a concern as the Soph was leading the team in sacks and 7th in TFL. Also, RB Rhamondre Stevenson avr 8 ypc w/6 TDs. Still, I think Sooners can hang here.
