Tally thread:
Utah St -7, line has dropped by 5 points? WOW!! I know their HC left, but the players remain and NT played a weak schedule and faded down the last 5 games, Aggies are two TDs better imo. WINNER
ULL +3 - Green Wave could be dangerous however the QB for ULL isn't that bad and Rajin Cajuns have some athletes on both lines as well, this is a neutral site game and ULL should hang in there. LOSER
Arizona St +5 - Herman Edwards 1st Bowl Game as a HC and this is a recruiting statement, Bulldogs off big revenge win vs Boise for MWC Championship, Sun Devs has enough "O" to keep this one close or win SU. LOSER
Over 47 1/2 EMU/Ga Southern LOSER
Middle Tenn +6 1/2 - App St and MT are equal in talent and App lost their HC to another program and MT very focused on winning their Bowl Game. LOSER
UAB -1 - Blazers got thumped in their Bowl Game this year and MAC can be dangerous in bowl game matchups however the Blazers have a better HC imo and talent from Bama. WINNER
Over 66 1/2 FIU/Toledo, add Over 56 FIU/Toledo - Should be one of the higher scoring bowl games for sure, Rockets have a nice offense as does FIU, should be some future NFL players displayed in this tilt. WINNER WINNER

Minnesota +4 - Gophers HC back in Michigan where he coached before in the MAC and the Gophers have enough to keep up with GT who are playing for their outgoing HC Johnson, FG game. WINNER
Over 40 Cal/TCU - Bowl games with low lines like this typically go over, so sticking with that trend. LOSER
Duke +3 1/2 - Duke has some players folks and should compete well in this tilt. WINNER

Today's games 12/28/18:
Syracuse +7 1/2 - Cuse have a shot to win this one SU should Dungey be on. This game's line has gone from +7 1/2 Syracuse to Syracuse -3 since WVU QB Grier announced he was sitting out so he will be ready for the NFL. I like the coaching style Syracuse uses and Dungey is a decent QB, WV "D" shows up on occasion depending on what offensive scheme they are playing. QB Allison will be starter for WV today and he was 6 of 10 this year behind Grier. The total in this game also went from 74 down to 66, so a good middle opportunity. I locked my line in at +7 1/2 and I still feel Orange win SU, but I'm not going to give 3 or more points.
Iowa St +4 1/2 - Cyclones should hang with the Mustache dude.I loved getting more than a FG in this tilt in the Alamo dome and the line has gone down to as low as +2, the total moved from 54 1/2 to 57 1/2 which means over players pounding the line, though the pundits think this one will go under. Games in the Dome during Bowls which are typically just the Alamo Bowl tend to trend Over with a few unders. I won my GOY a few years back when UCLA/K State played and Huntley QB'd for the Bruins, in 2015, K State about backdoored the Bruins LOL, but I won my wager in that one. I have no clue on the total in this one as the Cyclones D also plays up/down D depending on the offensive scheme their opponent uses. I still like the Cyclones to win, Wazoo has had a long season and played better than many expected with that quirky HC Leach.
The Purdue/Auburn game I have no dog in the fight, Gus is going to call his own plays, something he hasn't done in a bit and Auburn has underachieved the past few years, but they have the talent to roll over Purdue. If Stidham plays like he's capable this could be a 7 pt game in favor of Auburn, but they are too iffy. Purdue playing with their 12th man, an emotional kick, but I don't get into those things when it comes to who's better on paper. Purdue shocked Ohio St at home and that's the only loss that kept Ohio St out of the playoffs. Purdue doesn't have any high profile players that Mel and Todd Todd Todd Todd, talk about, but the Boilers just get things done. Senior QB Blough has decent accuracy and smarts for the Boilers O. Could be some points in this tilt, total went from 54 to 57 1/2. A turface game played in Nashville, weather shouldn't play any part today and be at least Partly Cloudy perhaps with a wrap around breeze.
No weather should have any effect on the 2 outdoor games, as the Alamo game is indoors.
BOL on whatever you play today, I like the card Tomorrow and next week better!!

2-0 on Saturday with my early locked in numbers and Syracuse/Iowa St still covered and/or pushed the closing lines. Had a good feeling on Auburn but couldn't pull the trigger, thought 7 pts would be enough well they won in the 1st Q for sure!! LOL
Today's a larger card and my plays are still locked in with my opening lines though Bowl Total on Nevada/Arkie Jr game has gone down a bit, went to 56 now back up to 57 1/2/58 depending what off-shore book you look at.
BOL today, I feel one of the big dogs will win SU between ND & Oklahoma, which one? I think they both cover, which one will win SU? I really like OU's chances better with Murray so long as he stays healthy in the game.

Added BOWL GAME OF THE YEAR:
BOWL TOTAL OF YEAR: Over 59 1/2 Ark St/Nevada - Looking for a shootout in Tucson!! line is now 55, still expecting more points than what's being played in Vegas due to the fact Wolfpack can run the ball and that's Arkie Jrs weakness and there is some talent in this game as well as a fast track in Tucson!
Florida +7 1/2 - Gators should keep this one interesting, line is down to +5 1/2
BOWL GAME of the YEAR: S Carolina -4 - Gamecocks have more weapons than the Cavs, line now -3 1/2, SC has a strong running game and Cavs have played who down the stretch? GT? VT? Both teams were banged up and Cavs still played like crap, S Car I have winning by 7-10 points, not the blowout fashion Auburn put on Purdue, but anything is possible, it's called gambling right? S Carolina 34 Va 21!
Over 55 ND/Clemson - Expecting points due to ND having some weapons back they didn't have vs USC and Clemson has given up some points before, with or without their big cog in the middle Clemson is deep in talent, expecting a 38-30 type game here.
Oklahoma +13 1/2 - Oklahoma is fast folks and Bama knows this so they will try and slow that part of the game down, problem is, they haven't faced a scrambler with the arm and accuracy of Murray and Heisman winners favored in a game are not fairing well in bowl games but Heisman winners as dogs do fair well. Oklahoma's RB that filled in once their top RB got hurt early this year are big and fast and could be the key in this tilt. Whether Tua plays or not he will not be 100% running wise, so he'll have to scramble which means Hurts will be in often and I see this as a 34-24 type of game and feel Sooners can stay under the # here, if not, win SU with a couple of breaks. But they way refs have been calling shit during this bowl season who knows what fucked up call will happen?
ND +11 1/2, I know there are better lines out there, get them if you can. Expecting points due to ND having some weapons back they didn't have vs USC and Clemson has given up some points before, with or without their big cog in the middle Clemson is deep in talent, expecting a 38-30 type game here. Book or Winbush, one of the two will have to be point on in passing to the big TEs in this one.

Had no feel for the S. Car game, so I will definitely jump on your Bowl Game of the Year bandwagon!
Counting on DBs for Gamecocks to give Perkins all he can handle in passing situations and front "spy" to stick it to him when he runs, that's his asset is his wheels, he was sacked 30 times this year and he had big losses vs Indiana, non bowl team, Pittsburgh, GT and VT. S Carolina hung with Clemson for a point though they were huge dogs and they have 4 RBs who all average over 4.5 yards a carry which will challenge Wahoos front line. Turnover may decide this game early and late!! Hence my pick on Gamecocks purely gut and numbers comparison.
Nevada with losses to Vandy early in the year by 24 on the road, lost to both Fresno & Boise, and UNLV? They gave up 35 points to the Beavers of all teams, so now look at Arkansas State, they beat common opponent UNLV early in the season 27-20, Nevada lost their last season game to UNLV, Arkie Jr loves to pass and they hung good numbers through the air vs their conference, something Nevada had trouble stopping. That's why I like lots of points in this game, opened 58 1/2 went up to 59 1/2 then down to 54 1/2 at it' lowest now at 57 1/2 to 58 depending which book you look at. Both teams have speed at WR and in the backfields and Arkie Jr takes advantage of turnovers, and Arkie Jr has a 12 turnover edge vs Nevada in that respect. both teams give up almost 5 yards per run!! SCORE BABY SCORE!
I?m on it too for a good amount. 2* or double an avg play:00hour. Need offense to pick it up:0074
My faith is diminishing. SC be lucky to stop VA and score before the half. Not looking good
I?ve seen enough! Bailing at the half. South Carolina no answers on offense or defense. May come back to haunt me but I?m out:scared
Thankful to have bailed. I thought Purdue and Miami were a joke. This SC team is bad and an embarrassment :0002.
No more posts in this thread for me. Great capping so far Wildbill. sC still gonna hurt as I bailed for less. Good luck rest of way
Had to chime in. Been more interested in VA second half pick. Took both of the year picks. I?ve been warned against those types of Game of years and decades. Usually don?t go well when I bet them. Today a perfect example. Got sucked in bad!
