Hi everyone - hope everyone had a nice Xmas - I know mine was nice as usual w/ the family - always the most important thing in my life (as it should be for everyone). Looking to keep a nice bowl season going - last played Boise which came in for a cover.

Going with a Dog/Under play tonight. I've seen this total go from 62 to 70 now and I locked in under 70. That's an extra 2 scores from the opener - if you take advantage of this over and over and over again, it really adds ups. 38-31 means the under comes in - as well as the dog...Florida Atlantic now a +7.5 point dog - waited for that extra hook and got it off the 7...CM defense I think will have problem holding a lead - in fact I have this as a fairly even matchup tonight - so I'm taking those extra points, as well as the under 70.

It's easy to call for a shootout in this game - and those who hit the over at 62 I can see the argument for that, i no longer can at the 70 number...offensively FAU avg about 25, while CMU 30 a game...won't be surprised if this one finishes in the high 50's...i'll force both offenses to turn this into a shootout...what people fail to forget is the defenses actaully will be trying to stop each other out there...bowl game on the line, I think it's enough to keep this scoring under the total...I'll force these teams to have 10 tds and another score...if one of these offenses struggle even a tad, going to be tougher to get that over...the time to play overs is when you sniff out a shootout when the totals are int the high 40's, low 50's...just not much margin for error when it's 70...

I also believe FAU can win this straight up - or cover late if they need to...

Good luck w/ your plays - here are mine:

FAU +7.5
FAU UNDER 70

GL!

Thx - how about them Owls? Great effort tonight...I felt really good about both plays - a game like this reiterates a few things:

1) Suspensions are sometimes blown out of proportion - there are always others to step in and play - line played well for FAU, and kicking game was smooth as well

2) Perceptions are often formed incorrectly - I've said this lots of times - when you have these high totals and EVERYONE expects a shootout, the total gets so high it becomes so much harder to cover - total went from 62 to 70.5 at it's peak - wow! Likewise you often see those low totals when everyone expects a defensive struggle go over, because of the formed perception

I always try to look at wins and losses as learning tools...it's been a wonderful bowl season, made a nice chunk on this side & total...closing out 2008 w/ a tremendous return...and looking forward to another successful 2009...gl rest of way in the bowls...

Great calls,glad to see you're still posting.When that total went to 70- I played the under after having played the over 65 on chrisrmas eve,before it started really shootong up,20-1 odds on it hitting 66-70.It is amazing the line movement on some of these games,most of it wrong.GL
