Week 3 Bowl Picks

[BGFalcon]

I know it's still Week 2 but I had already totalled my games for Week 2, and I was drinking last night, and I had basketball games to cap, and my q-factor is in the red, etc.

Anyway...

Mississippi St. +3 over UCF


Bowls YTD: 5-1

Overall YTD: 90-69, +11.85 units

 

[BGFalcon]

Wake Forest -2 over UConn--Have not been impressed with UConn this year. Don't think they have the horses to hang around in this one.

 

[BGFalcon]

Saturday results: 2-0

Bowls YTD: 7-1

Overall YTD: 92-69, +13.85 units

 

[BGFalcon]

Cal/AF under 57.5--Fading some steam on the total. Cal has stayed under this number in 5 of their last 6 games. AF has been under this number 8 times this year. AF running game will help.

 

[BGFalcon]

Clemson -2 over Auburn--Two very good defensive teams but I think Clemson has better balance on offense. Auburn has really struggled to score at times. I also like the under but got the opening number which is no longer available.

 

[BGFalcon]

Monday results: 0-2

Bowl results YTD: 7-3

 

[BGFalcon]

New Year's Day

New Year's Day

Tennessee -1.5 over Wisky--Continuing to fade the Big 10 in the major bowls.

Michigan/Florida over 60--Michigan shoud be much healthier on offense and they typically open up the offense in their bowl game. Florida should be able to score a ton against a very mediocre Michigan defense. You can also throw in some type of special teams score for Florida against Michigan's atrocious special teams.

Georgia over 37 (team total)--Once Georgia gets going I see them scoring a bunch today (much like Cal did yesterday).

Tuesday results: 3-0

Bowls YTD: 10-3

Overall YTD: 95-71, +14.65

Awesome job BG!!!! Keep rollin!!

Good job so far on the bowls. How many points do you think your Falcons can put up on Tulsa? Highest total I can remember on a bowl game (76) and not sure if it is still high enough :scared BG seems to like shootouts and Tulsa might throw 70 times!

 

[BGFalcon]

I don't play many overs, especially not when the total is in the 70's. But, this may be one time that the over is the correct play.

 

[BGFalcon]

Oklahoma -4 (H1) over W. Virginia--Sooners jump out early while WVU wonders who is going to be running the show for them.

 

[BGFalcon]

Bowls YTD: 10-4

Overall YTD: 95-72, +13.55

Ruptures/Testicle Tech over 61--I'm sure Ray Rice is fired up about going against a defense that gives up almost 200 on the ground per game. Rutgers will have its hands full trying to shut down Nate Davis and all the passing Ball State will have to do should make this a long game. I'd like to lay the chalk but I think Ball State has enough offense to get in the back door.

Thanks krc. Only two more bowl games to go but there should be some good prop bet opportunities for the championship game.

 

[BGFalcon]

Bowls YTD: 11-4

Overall YTD: 96-72, +14.55

Nice record so far. What do you think of Bowling Green tonight? It looks like they have a lot of injuries in the front seven.

 

[BGFalcon]

I think if it gets to 6 then BG is the play and if the total gets to 78 the under is the play. I'm not playing the game; just going to sit back and watch the fireworks.

If you check in during the game, I'd be very interested in hearing your take on whether the Falcons will make a second-half charge.
