Like the NFL, the forum has gotten lazy with discussion, so I'm here to resurrect it. I'm typing from my phone from work bc I'm bored so sorry for typos. I'm also in a bowl pickem and wouldn't mind getting some thoughts on several close games.
Wv -3 vs ncst
Initial lean was ncst but have since backed off. Ncst with a strong aerial attack and maybe the best player on the field in Wilson but wv def has been very stiff all year. Ncst has the stronger SOS and may be the more excited of the two teams to be there. I also like the better qb and offense in a game most likely decided by one score but it's tough to call
Okie st -6 vs Arizona
Line stinks flat out. Anything between 4.5 and 6.5 I tend to lean dog but az rolled over and died down the stretch. The schedule was tough but losing to asu at home was the kicker for me. Okie st def is not good but the offense consistently moves it making it tough to go against them
Miami -3 vs nd
Miami more talented but finished awfully. Nd finished strong and more excited to be there. Miami has one of the best pass def in the nation an not sold nd can move via the ground. Tough call
Sc -3 vs fsu
Statistically similar and ponder is coming back. Most likely a one possession game an I lean fsu although they won't be stopping anything. How does sc react after getting blown off the field
Stan -3.5 vs vt
Vt not as strong defensively but always play well in tough games. Stan is a wildcard and will be a very physical unit for vt. Lean Stan in a shootout but not sure if they can make any stops defensively
Osu -3.5 vs arky
Osu off undervalued as well as ark def. Best bowl as far as excitement IMO. I like the points and I think arky is under the radar here. Curious to see arky off vs osu def. Osu has struggled vs sec
Lsu -1.5 vs a&m
Haven't capped but a&m has been the best team in the big 12 to finish. If it was ou lsu would ou be dogged? Doubt it. Again another one score game most likely. Leaning with the more excited team but tough call
