Gasparilla Bowl

let me start by saying i don't love this game. if i had any discipline, i wouldn't play it. on the bright side, the line movement since i first bet this game 2 weeks ago has gone in my favor.

this is definitely not the same ucf team from the last few years. they are vulnerable. hell, they lost at tulsa. but make no mistake - marshall is offensively challenged. if they fall behind, game over. green only completed 57.5% of his passes for 14 TDs and 9 INTs. Not good. Brenden Knox needs to have a big day on the ground against a disinterested ucf defense. this is the same marshall team that only gave up 14 at boise early in the year, so their defense is capable of keeping them in this game. marshall needs to play a nearly perfect game, but crazier things have happened in bowl games.

one big advantage that i like... doc holliday against josh heupel. doc has never in in his life been outcoached by a josh.

marshall 1st H (+9.5) 1 unit
marshall (+18) 2 units
marshall (ML) 1 unit to win 5

God the vikings looked bad last night. To lay an egg like that in a huge spot against a decent but by no means really good Green Bay team says a lot about the team and Cousins. Never gonna win a big game. Owner pissed away a lot of $$$ for a slightly above average q.b.

Anyway, always enjoy your perspective and write ups. Continued success. By the way, where "upstate" are you? Has different meaning depending on where you live. I am in the Albany area myself.

ugh. just brutal. cousins looks like he's terrified to make a mistake. i only watched the first half, but i don't think he completed a pass more than 5 yards downfield.

i think it says a lot about the nfl these days that he is considered a good qb. when they released bridgewater and signed cousins, i wrote here about what a mistake that was. bridgewater is absolutely perfect for a team built around defense.

thank you for the kind words. always appreciated. my longer write-ups are really just me typing my thoughts as i handicap a game. so they help me quite a bit.

nice! we're practically neighbors. i'm in the mean streets of CP. :toast:
