Over 60 Nevada/ULL (1 unit) -LOSER Nawlins, ULL hm field addy, ULL 41 Nev 38
Air Farce +2 1/2 (5 units) WINNER Flyboys can run and WM is not good vs run, AF also familiar with smurf turf!! AF by 4
S Ala -3 (3 units) - LOSER Jags almost a home game, BG bounced LY in their bowl by Pitt, have leaky bucket "D".
Under 54 1/2 USA/BG (1 unit) LOSER
N Illini +10 1/2 (1 unit) -LOSER Marshall had their day in the sun.
Over 59 1/2 Fresno/Rice (1 unit) - LOSER both teams giving up over 36 pts per game on the rd.
Under 49 1/2 N C St/UCF (1 unit) -LOSER N C State first bowl on Doeren vs crafty O'Leary's club.
4 team 10 pt tease (5 units) Duke +17, Penn St +13, Over 30 P St/BC, Miami +7 :00hour
Over 61 Illini/La Tech (3 units) - :sadwave: La Tech 45 Illinois 30
La Tech -6 (3 units) - :00hour La Tech and Holtzy can score pts, Illini can't stop anyone from scoring.
Penn St +3 (3 units) - :00hour *Frank over Addazio, will take the Nitts in a close one, 19-17!
Duke +7 (1 unit) - :00hour Duke 37 ASU 35
Over 66 Duke/ASU (1 unit) - :00hour Duke not as high scoring this year, but should vs Sun Devils.
Miami -3 (1 unit) - :sadwave: S Car not stopping good running teams much, Duke Johnson is for real.
Nebraska +6 1/2 (1 unit) -:00hour Seniors for NU want this one, Abdullah could rip USC a new one.
If Line for Neb/USC total for 2nd half is < 35 pts, play it OVER for 5 units!! :00hour
Under 54 1/2 Clem/Okla (1 unit) :00hour - Sooners get QB Knight back, Clem with Watson out.
Under 67 WV/Tx A&M (1 unit) - :sadwave: could be a weather game, both teams playing tons of players Trickett out for WV
Texas +7 (3 units) :sadwave: - Current roster has a few Houston boys on it and this is a big area for Strong to recruit from, I'm sure Swoopes confidence came back the past 3-4 weeks, Arkie had big season end wins and big blowout to skew their points ave and margin of victory, strength Arkie has is two RBs and edge to kickers (Arkie has 2 of them) - Bielema is not that great with his bowl record and Strong is undefeated as an underdog, remember he had Teddy B vs Fla?
Texas +235 (1 unit) :sadwave:
Already have the TEX/ARK UNDER at 47(5 units), it's down to 42 now back up to 43 - So Over 43 (1 unit) :sadwave: Almost had the backdoor at the goal line! :facepalm:
Notre Dame +295 (1 unit) :00hour
Maryland +440 (1 unit) :sadwave:
L'ville +245 (1 unit) :sadwave:
Notre Dame +7 (1 unit) - :00hour LSU should be favored by more, almost in their backyard too.
Louisville +6 1/2 (1 unit) - :sadwave: Card "D" keep this one close
Mississippi +3 1/2 (3 units) - :sadwave: TCU with better W/L record, Ole Miss with matching "D" and seniors. Southern homefield edge, Miss played here to open the season.
Arizona -3 (3 units) - :sadwave: Wildcats Rich Rod not a great bowl record with AZ but they win. Boise out-manned in this contest. AZ by 7
Ga Tech +7 (1 unit) -:00hour strong running game vs weak defense run stopping "D". GT has played in Miami before, Miss St had a great run and last 3 games started to run out of gas. GT will miss Smelter but others stepped in for him vs Fla St. I'll take the points.
Going with Miss St -4 (5 units):sadwave: to middle this one and buy back a unit on GT.
Also going Over 59 GT/Miss St (10 units) -:00hour Revenge Total play!!
Ohio St +9 1/2 (1 unit) - WINNER BU QB for Buckeyes vs Alabama "D"? Ok. Auburn scored a few on Bama.
Florida St +9 1/2 (1 unit) -LOSER Heisman jinx, players' team who won doesn't cover often. FSU win streak!
Under 64 Auburn/Wisky (1 unit) LOSS Gordon's last hurrah as he will be going pro, Wisky coached by interim HC and Auburn off loss to Bama this year and Fla St in BCS LY. Should be tough in the trenches. Auburn 28 Wis 24
Over 70 Michigan St/Baylor (1 unit)WINNER Both teams feature strong QBs, one is a better runner than passer and visa versa, State vs top 5 teams this year did not fare well vs Oregon & Ohio St, Baylor won all their top games including 3 pt win over TCU at Baylor but lost @ WVU. Baylor 38 Mich St 37.
Under 47 Minn/Missouri (1 unit) LOSER Missouri undervalued, Minny also a bit undervalued but strength of schedule edge definitely to Mizzou and "D" for Missouri should atone for lackluster performance vs Bama in SEC Chmp. Mizzou 27 Minny 14.
Under 74 1/2 Oregon/Fla St (5 units) LOSER Big one in Orlando, not a fast track and Noles' goal is to slow down quick paced Duck offense and dump and dunk vs Duck "D". Heisman jinx angle values on this one as well as Heisman winner of that season's team has failed to cover over 80% of the time, in this contest you have two Heisman winners, JW from 2013 and MM from 2014. All the hype for this one, FSU 34 ORE 31.
OVER 59 1/2 Ohio St/Ala (1 unit)WINNER Sugar Bowl hype, BU QB for OSU has the eye of the Tiger, he's focused, it will be a jam packed Nawlins Dome, lots of Bama supporters, Urban Meyer vs Nick Saban, the Mentor vs the disiple, Lame Kiffin the young stud OC know it all vs Urban Meyer once again, Bosa is a beast for OSU and so are their DBs for the Buckeyes, Bama features a talented group of run stuffers, so it all will come down to field position and kicking game. Bama got beat down by Oklahoma LY in this facility and by Utah in Sabans first couple of years at Bama while he was rebuilding. All out War in the trenches!! Ohio St 34 Alabama 27.
Ohio St +255 (1 unit) WINNER
Fla St +250 (1 unit) LOSER
Over 56 Okla St/Washington (1 unit) - Okla St another team that can't stop anyone from scoring
Michigan St +3 (3 units) - :00hour Baylor is pissed they didn't get a better bowl? State will expose them!
Under 62 1/2 Neb/USC (5 units) - :sadwave: Neb seniors wanna go out in Style, USC rid itself of some coaches
.
Over 68 Boise/AZ (5 units) -PUSH Neither team should stop the other much.
Missouri -5 (5 units) - WINNER Tiger run "D" and Matty Mauk should be the edge over Minnesota
Maryland +14 1/2 (5 units) - :sadwave: was tough on the rd on the year, Stanford bleh.
Under 45 1/2 Tex/Ark (5 units) :00hour
BOWL TOTAL OF YEAR: Over 66 1/2 Rutgers/UNC (10 units) :sadwave: RUTGERS 40 UNC 21, 3 red zone fails by UNC- both teams on the rd giving up over 40 pts per game, UNC hot of late scoring, Nova for Rutgers may find some holes in Tarheel "D" while Marquise Williams should be able to get some open runs. UNC 42 Rutgers 31
BOWL GAME OF YEAR: UCLA +1 1/2 (10 units) - Kansas St folks is a good team, however on the rd they did not fare too well and the Alamo Bowl typically favors teams that have an offense that is pretty diverse and favors grass teams when they come indoors on the turface. Hundley for UCLA should have his passing gear on and get some open reads on running plays, watch the big WRs (Payton is NFL material) and RB Perkins, another strong north/south runner who can get outside as well, like Auburn did @ Manhattan earlier in the year, look for UCLA to out play K St DBs. UCLA was 6-0 on the rd this year with some close wins and some close wins vs teams who had pretty good overall "D", including Virginia, Arizona St, and Texas. K State on the rd had a quality win @ Oklahoma and W Va, but both those teams are not nearly as close offensively to UCLA. K State barely beat Iowa St in wk 2!! :mj07: UCLA wins this one 42 to 24!
