This here NCAAF Bowl Season!

Thanks man, turns out the Rutgers feel was right on - but nothing more than a feel.

Also, not sure who was on the Oklahoma game with me... BUT... I was putting in a new video card for my desktop and watching the OU game on my laptop... with about one minute left the battery went out and it died. I log in and apparently they scored and miraculously covered? Well then, alright! :)

Looking at tomorrow's games now!

Thanks Irish, appreciate it. Pretty sick the way the ending went, but what can you do - hope a true freshman goes down when he's got a clear path to the endzone in his first bowl game? Meh, just happy I was on the winning side.

Saturday:

Kept going back and forth with the Northwestern/TAMU game and ended up settling on the overs, so o70 it is for four units. I'd lean Northwestern though.

Also kept going back and forth in the GT/Utah game, just one of those games where GT looks so good on paper if they can keep their running game and particularily third-and-short offense going... but ends up being a late Utah cover, or SU win... so I'm going to stay away since I haven't got a good grip on ACC play this year.

Cincy/Vandy - ended up taking Cincy -1 here for four units. Mind goes back on Collaros and his bum ankle, but being a senior he's got the leadership role and he can lean on Pead. I don't like Vandy's offense here against a defense who's played together for a while now.

Illinois/UCLA - nothing on this game. Two teams that looked like crap, especially in the second half of the season and two teams playing for interim coaches. Just don't think this is a good game to bet.

Virginia/Auburn... another game with a talented squad from an inferior conference that just might get it done. Lean Virginia here, and might end up making them a play... Auburn has had trouble from QB position all year, and if Dyer doesn't go - this could be a SU win for Virginia.

Recap:

TAMU/NW o70
Cincinnati -1

Both for four units.

GOOD LUCK DRAKE

I'm gonna take a shot with NW

Persa and Fitz - Good Coach QB Combination

If you look back over the last three years this is a NW team who shows up in the bowl games which leads me to believe they prepare well.

They go into A&M's back yard and upset the Aggies today

38-35

:thumbs:

Let's go AK! GL :beerbang:

Thanks fellas, unfortunately NW didn't show up, but at least Cincy did!

I'll have the day off tomorrow and looking to bet most of the games...

Houston -7.5 vs Penn St. - Houston was exposed vs So. Miss in the CUSA Championship game, and did not play well. They'll be looking to redeem themselves against a legit Big Ten opponent... (not so much that PSU is "legit," but rather beating a B1G opponent in a bowl game is a huge deal) Case Keenum has one last game to improve his stock before the draft. The struggles of PSU is documented and if they have one defensive liability - it's their secondary and particularly their safeties. Expect Houston to test them early and often en route to a three-td win.

South Carolina -3.5 vs Nebraska - SC has overcome the loss of their starting QB and RB and have played well since Garcia was dismissed and Lattimore was injured. Nebraska's Black shirts still haven't earned their monicker yet this year, pedistrian by their standards.. and we all know how one-dimensional their offense is. Rex Burkhead will not be 100 percent and expect the SC defense to contain him and get after Taylor Martinez and force him to beat them through the air. One advantage Nebraska has is Pelini's bowl record vs Spurrier's... we all know Spurrier doesn't do well in bowl games - that scares me a bit.

Oklahoma St. -5 vs Stanford - I hate to boil such a huge game down to one thing, but the athleticism of Oky St vs Stanford is so apparent to me. I don't think Stanford's offense can hang with the Pokes.

Will stay away from Florida/OSU, and maybe Oregon/Wisky. Georgia will probably be a play, but I haven't finished researching that one yet.

Monday: 2-1

Wednesday:

West Virginia +3 for four units

[akatdrake]

And unfortunately for me, my text to my bookie did not go through so that is -4 units of potential gains :(

Saturday:

Pittsburgh -4 vs SMU - among the coaching issues with both teams, the Big East has went 5-0 in bowl season and SMU is riding an 0-6 ats run in bowl games. Pitt will go no-huddle, but run the clock as much as they can. Gotta think SMU didn't like that June Jones was going to bolt for Arizona St. A once-high flying offense has only scored over 20 pts twice in their last six games and that was vs Tulane and Rice.

Four units. Good luck gents.
