'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,
LA Burns was stirring, he felt like a louse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
But of the Camellia Bowl writeup no one was aware;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
Whilst visions of Panthers and Cardinals danced in Burns? head,
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Were both in dire need of a pre-Christmas day nap -
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
That made Sharp Insight clients wish their wallets were fatter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Is there any good info that might make us some cash?
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Made everyone dream of winning some dough
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a line that rose from 3 to 6 ? oh dear!
MAC vs Sunbelt, who?ll be the pick?
We all need to know, it?s a 1:30 kick!
GSU started 1-4 but gave Auburn a game
And their starting QB was pretty damn lame
They made a change under center and that started to fixem?
But will their 6-1 finish be enough to picks em??
There were no bad losses from the State of Ball,
And the games they should win were W?s all
Off a 7-1 season with 20 starters back
Could they be the side to make us a stack?
But the Panthers were trying to get to 8 wins
To set a school record to the Cardinals? chagrins
G-State boasted two 800 yard backs
Behind an OL that were anything but hacks
Both teams won bowl games the last time around
But which side should we unmercifully pound?
The MAC?s 1-4 and the Sunbelt 2-1
But is that enough to help make us all a few hun?
The Cards beat Army which was a pretty good win
And G-State lost to the Knights 43-10!!
But a close game against Akron seems a concern,
As we don?t really have much money to burn
The Panthers do have a win at CCU
But the Chants were missing McCall at Q
UL needed a late touchdown to beat ?em
And the GSU fans are ready to meet ?em
For Montgomery is just a 2 hour drive
Even though the calendar will read December 25
Doubt the BSU fans will want to drive 10 hours
For anything less than P5 powers
Dogs in bowls are 9-5 ATS
But should that make us like Ball State any less?
We really don?t even have to make a bet
As the last thing we want is unnecessary debt
But it might make our Christmas a little more fun
As our kids play with toys in the bright winter sun
Either way we should probably all keep it small
As under Gamblor?s spell we don?t want to fall
At last bigger games are coming closer to sight -
So Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night...........
Merry Christmas guys ? and as always, good luck
