Tuesday Bowl games.....

I like the Navy play myself and glad to see someone else on it as well. By the looks of it we maybe the only ones on it.
Good Luck

Seems like it, doesn't it? I just think TT will have as tough of a time stopping Navy as the other way around. Close game late imo. GL.
That's true, but this TT defense is horrible. Especially against the run. I don't see them stopping this option attack at all.
Remember Navy isn't a normal college football team. Army was basically their championship win and I read they've only practiced 9 times since then for this TT bowl game. We can expect a very hungry TT team from the big 12 whos practiced their ass off and ready to win. For that fact alone I like TT big.
Obviously the consensus is that TT will put up a bunch of points. If you think Navy will be able to stay with them, then isn't the over the best bet?
The only problem that I see with this total is that if Navy sustains some long drives, there may not be enough possessions to get to that number.
Consensus loses 80% of time, I wouldn't look there to place my bets. But if you think TT will put up a lot, which they should, Navy to stay with em, my big question, and that bad TT defense against the Navy rush, over does look pretty good. I haven't decided yet though.
Not sure I agree with the statement "consensus loses 80% of the time" - my sources show me that in this current NCAA football season, betting with consensus is around 47%, so losing 53% of the time, not 80%. Now I think under certain circumstances, when the public is all over one side, with lines opening or moving certain ways, in certain circumstances going against the public can lead to a good winner. But, if you bet only anti-consensus, I would be willing to bet NO ONE would be 80% effective, even in one weekend of football, let alone an entire season.
i was looking at wash st
i was looking at wash st
but two key questions gnaw at me.....
1)are the pac10 rushing stats legit?......there are few powerful rushing attacks in the pac10.....certainly nothing like what texas puts on the field....usc seems more "finesse-ish" in their ground game....more so than texas........benson will run over or around you..
2)kegel.......if he goes down,it`s over....and from everything i`ve read,unless it`s all b.s..,he`s still nowhere near 100%.......
in wash st`s favor?.....mack brown.....and a potentially strong passing game.....texas has struggled a bit as a big favorite....and on the left coast....i don`t trust texas as a favorite...there`s something missing there....all that talent...could be the " mack brown factor"...
still looking....g.l.

Oh 80% was a bit high, but I believe your numbers are a bit low. Anyway, my point was don't just look at consensus and make a bet either way, do your own research and go with your instincts based on that research regardless of consensus. Guess I would have gotten my point across a lot better not beating around the bush.
There are many people on Navy,me for one.I am about 25 units up on bestbettor.com in college football this season. The line moved from a 13 or 13- opener to 11-or 12 now.That means that for better or for worse,most of the action up to now has been on Navy,not Texas Tech.Air Force is traditionally underrated in Bowl appearances by guys who love their teams from big conferences,they covered against Vir Tech last year and usually play great in Bowls.Navy today will be no different.They have a very effective offense,and I'm betting Techs defense will not be able to control them enough to cover the big 12(get it?),careful with the total,the over may not be the lock you think it will be.And no,Tech will not be major pumped up to knock the stuffing out of Navy,they'll think like the socal guy does,that they're gonna throw their Big 12 jocks out on the field and kill Navy with the stench alone,that will help the play.Navy+12.
Take A Look
Take A Look
Take a look at the Las Vegas Bowl, Insight Bowl, and Motor City Bowl. If you had no idea who to take at kickoff and bet on conference alone you woulda been 3-0. In 2/3 of these bowls the stronger conference won outright, the Insight Bowl, Northwestern covered against Bowling Green, so in all three the stronger confrerence covered. So don't act like theres nothing to be said about conference.
