Anyone else scared to make bowl picks because they’re afraid of players deciding to sit out?

I’m just waiting. If I make a pick/bet and a Star player sits out because of the risk of getting injured. I’m gonna get pissed.

Do your Due Dilligence and use it to your advantage..some call it handicapping. 

i would think that players sitting out along with covid, probably best to wait until at least a day or two before game to bet. 

wait as long as you can, I agree that you will probably see a few sit out

 Betting bowl games now is the same as betting futures. Many things can happen in the next 2-3 weeks. 

I usually do good on bowl games I just stay away from the main playoffs, many of the Bowls are what I would call "show off" games one that comes to mind is Western Kentucky, App state,  the only players with no sweat on them will be the running backs game Hell it started out at 66.5 that game should go to low 80,s or more if not in the high 70,s I could really care who wins and I think the teams feel the same way. plus there are a few more that will be in that category.  It was 2 or 3 years ago it was either Huston and Army or wake forest and Army over and under was 54.5 for some strange reason I picked the overs, even though Army was usually in low scoring games, Hell Army was the only team that showed up they won 66-10. normally all military teams will play at their best so due to their "Disciplinary" training. so Good Luck Gents!

 Don't think I'll be jumpin on the Okie/Oregon game real early.....

I am from Oregon but I am very practical with the teams, I would defiantly go with Oklahoma, they didn't have to go through what Oregon went through plus Oregon will have one of their highly defensive players not showing up, and those last two games with Utah has them back on their heals....but you make one good point and that is they don't play until Dec 29th, who knows who will be Oregon's coach by then. They will have a fill-in just like Oklahoma. But I honestly feel those last 2 shellackings Oregon took from Utah at the end of the year, are tough to deal with maybe if you lose one then come back and lose a very close game the second time things would be different. but 2 games by the same score for a total of 72-17 I would go with Oklahoma. Oregon needs to reboot and that might take a few months. with a new coach, a new system and don't forget Oregon will be taking Ohio State at home early next year. 

Thanks guys for the advice!
