Emerald Bowl

[Destructor D]

I've been hotter than doughnut grease since December 24th (9-1 on sides and totals) so beware...

Tonight, I'm going with the following and already played:

Under 39 for 4*... I know the Under players have gone 7-1 during the bowl games. I know a string of Overs is bound to begin sooner than later. However, you have to cap every game individually and this game has Under written all over it IMO.

Florida State +4 (-120) for 10*... In a game where points will be tough to get, I'll gladly take 4 points with a Florida State team looking to make amends for a disappointing season. Public should be all over UCLA and Favorites have gone 6-2 ATS in bowl games up to this point. I think this game marks the beginning of a dog run in bowl games :mj23: :mj23:

Bowl Record (I haven't posted all my plays):
Sides 5-3 ATS
Totals 4-0 ATS

I agree D. Statistically, FSU seems to have an edge, pub is on UCLA, FSU an underdog in a bowl game?? seems like a receipe for a bet on FSU...

My only concern is...there any chance that Bowden and company have lost leadership/control of this team?

Answered the question for myself...

Adding Florida State ML (+145) for 3*... Too much value to pass in a game that I think is a true toss up. However, your article made me realize the Criminoles are going to come ready to play and their defense should hold UCLA's offense in check.

Prediction: Florida State 17 UCLA 13

Added Plays for Thursday:

Texas A&M +4 for 10* - Going to keep fading the Pathetic 10. Not at all impressed with this conference in bowl games and Cal was disappointing late in the season (lost to Zona and snuck by a terrible Stanford team).

Kansas State +7.5 for 10* - Freeman is the wild card for KSU. If he plays like he played against Colorado and Texas... KSU wins this game. If he plays like he did in KSU's remaining games, Rutgers is going to roll. I think the Freshman comes ready to play and KSU hangs very tough with Rutgers.

Adding Florida State 1st half +2.5 for 3* as well. Probably not the brightest play as FSU hasn't been a good 1st half team this season, but playing it small since I'm going to watch this game.
