AR, hate to beat a dead horse but it seems that teams that think they deserve a better game never seem to play well. It becomes a distraction and takes them out of the moment.

Updated Bowl play record.
11-3-1 +5300
Only losses were Michigan Gtech and an impulse second half over on BC.
One of my strongest feels go today.
Music City Bowl
Virginia 12:00pm
Minnesota ET
Virginia coach Al groh has endured a tough off season basically losing all of his staff to new jobs. I don't care who you are this has to have an impact on how you prepare and your kids psyche as whole.Bring in Minnesota who averages 5.51 ypc and 279.91 a game playing against a tough big ten schedule. Including the best run defense in the country (Ohio State). By the way they got 188 on the ground against the buckeyes which is twice what Ohio state allows. Virginia allows 3.99 a carry and 146 a game so i look for minnesota to get 5 or better a carry and about 225 for the game minimum.
Ball control, power and dissaray for Virginia equal money for Clem
Minnesota -6

Sun Bowl
Northwestern 2:00pm
(17) UCLA
Well here we go again with the pac 10 again. Very soft defensively and physically but all the offense you want. Ucla fits this pattern giving up 5.38 yards a carry and 238 a game on the ground. Northwestern averages 5.01 and 195.91 a game on the ground, so they should be able to move the ball just fine. The thing is Northwestern gives 5.08 a carry and 209 a game. Ucla rushes for 4.19 a carry and 147.63 a game which is respectableexcept for one thing, they play in the Pac Ten.
take a look at how Ucla finished the season.
Sat, Nov 5 at Arizona L 14-52 --
Sat, Nov 12 Arizona State W 45-35 --
Sat, Dec 3 at (1) USC L 19-66 --
Do you think they rebound after that fine showing against Usc?
Now to be fair Northwester got drubbed by OSU in its second to last but had a win after that. Albeit againnst Illinois
Iowa W 28-27 --
Sat, Nov 12 at (10) Ohio State L 7-48 --
Sat, Nov 19 at Illinois W 38-21
I'll take my chances with Northwestern

Clem: Only fear I have about Minn is their Coach, Mason has a way of losing big games. I think the Minn offense will move the ball with great ease, but the Minn "d" and Coach Mason are my only worries. Nce run thus far, lets keep it going!! GL Cash
best of luck today Clem.. great record in the bowls, too... weather not an issue here in Nashville for the Music City bowl, just cloudy and overcast. field should be o.k., no game played here since Dec. 18. (Titans-Seahawks) supposed to be going to the game with a friend for something to do...........
Hi Clem -
Great job so far! Are you wagering on the SC-Mizzou game or the LSU-Miami games today?
I like Mizzou and LSU tonight. I think LSU-Miami is one hell of a tough one to cap though. However, gotta take LSU.
Looks like I'm on both dogs.

Clem any reason the Minn line went up to 6 -6.5 this morning? I also like Minny a lot, and put a good chunk of change on them yesterday at -4.5, and was going to add some, but a 2 point swing overnight seems like a lot.
Missou +3.5 over South Car.. I know Im like a broken record with the rushing stats but this is by far the most telling stat in betting the bowls,
Missou 4.79 per carry205 per game.
South Car gives up4.03 per carry and 171.6 per game.
South Car only rushes for 3.0 per carry and about 91 per game.
Missou gives up 3.79 per carry and 152 per game
So we should have another Double Rushing team.

Why the over in the mizzou game? I figured this game to be well under. Maybe under 40. The running of mizzou should slow things and SC is not explosive. Thoughts?

I see this game In the range of Missou 30-36 to south Cars' 24 to 29. Think Missou will catch the cocks sleepwalking early and get out to a two td lead which will lead to some throwing and hopefully turnovers.
Clem: This Minny "d" looks awful, I hope this not going to be another Maosn melt down, he is famous for them. GL I am on minny large as well!!
