Looking at the early game and tough to not like Ohio. They have already played a much better Central Michigan team tough in Detroit and they're now healthy. Add in the fact they will have a home friendly crowd & it's tough to not like the Bobcats against the Thundering Turd IMHO. Turd HC Mark Snyder already resigned before this bowl game. No offense to Marshall fans, but this team really doesn't belong in a bowl game except with 34 bowl games, almost everyone eligible is invited. I expected 5th year Senior QB Scott to have a monster game and Ohio to pull away for a 7 to 10 point victory at a minimum. Scott was injured vs. Central Michigan otherwise Ohio might have won the MAC.
Ohio -3 for 10* - Debated the ML, but it's -150 and -160 at my offshores. I'm confident Ohio wins by at least 4 points.
Ohio 1st half -1.5 for 5* - Should be up by a FG at a minimum at half. Typically go lighter on 1st halfs due to variables like turnovers, etc.
Ohio 31 Marshall 17 - Probably higher scoring since almost every bowl game is high scoring.
Pittsburgh @ North Carolina - Heels are probably used to playing bowl games in their North Carolina as this is the 2nd or 3rd I remember in Charlotte in recent years. It also doesn't hurt that Butch Davis is 5-0 ATS in bowl games and 7-1 ATS his last 8 as an underdog. I just hope UNC doesn't lose by 1 point like they did last year vs. West Vagina and I end up regrettting not grabbing the 1.5 to 2 points available. However, I don't see Pitt being very pumped up for this game after their debacle vs. Cincy where they lost by a point. I also believe UNC has the better defense and the partisan home crowd in Charlotte should be more than enough to help UNC garner a bowl victory. UNC finished #6 in the nation defensively giving up just 268 YPG and huge RB Ryan Houston (goes about 6-2 and 250) should wear down the Pitt front 7.
UNC 24 Pitt 17
UNC ML 10 for 11* - Hopefully not grabbing the 1.5 or 2 points won't bite me!
UNC 1st half +1 for 5* - Really like this play, but will play 1st halves at a minimum for now.
Leaning Boston College, but still waiting to see if McKnight is playing and if I can learn how pumped up USC will be for a December 26th bowl game.
