I enjoy the banter and I try to anticipate what picks you will share (not very well). At any rate, thanks for all your effort on my (our) behalf. I hope you both have a wonderful and Merry Christmas, and that we all find the season profitable in our own way.

what a post, thank you

Bettors also think running on the field 'fired up' is all it really takes.  Both takes are extremely stupid - yet most everybody does it .....   FACT: you play like you practice      >> bowl practices over the holidays is tough - you don't actually think Georgia is practicing with the same FOCUS vs Fla St / Orange Bowl, as they would for a play-off game, OR vs Bama do you?. Of course they 'care' - but it ain't 100%.  This carries over to coaches BTW - who are without a doubt recruiting more than they would otherwise. They also don't bring the same intensity to practice. Notre Dame just killing itself for the stinking SUN BOWL ya think? Ducks really fired up, ready to get down to work for LIBERTY?  Maybe it won't matter sure, but if handicapping you have to factor it in.   SO, rather than AX yourself do they care :   * where did they want to be when the season began?   * what was the realistic goal? - a winning season, bowl game, bowl game W, conf. title, play-off spot, nat. title.   * has their goal been met, or is there more work to be done?        " HAS THEIR STORY BEEN WRITTEN?"    Then check on the head coach - some simply don't care about bowls at all, and do a poor job - they would rather be recruiting (Kiffin). Some feel they are very important and do a great job. What direction is the program heading - getting worse each year, or better? This game might be HUGE for a program on the rise. Ton of factors, esp. who TF is gonna even be there? But always go back to:         " WHO WANTS IT MORE?"            BOL this bowl season boys .............

 

Bowl prep differs amongst coaches. Depending on the bowl, the matchup, and the available personnel some coaches treat these practices like pre-season practice for the fall meaning they are trying to develop the players that we will see next year more than they are working with current starters. Different coaches have different strategies. 
With UGA this is the first time they are playing a game where at national title shot isn’t at stake in almost 3 years. I don’t expect to see their best effort.

Allllllllllllll aboard 

 

Recommendation Number 2 

 

Texas St - 4.5

squads with different mindsets heading into this game, Texas st sold out their ticket allotment in 2 days, they haven’t been to a bowl since the 1700’s, it’s a smash, recommend any number under 7

 

we are slowly but surely bringing this together, time to snipe from the rooftop on these books

@WahooS

 Being a Marshall Grad you all are spot on...We  are a hot mess...QB1 out RB1 out WR1 out 2 starting OL out just to name a few...along with the HC throwing the fanbase under the bus about trashing players and no NIL....I am all over UTSA...

 

Like the TX State angle 

 

The Funbelt in play in both investments like it! 

 

Happy Holidays!! THX for all the hard work!

cheers to you, I don’t like laying 9.5 in a bowl game but I can’t see this one remaining within that number, Marshall is simply a disaster from my view 

we will find out soon

HooTrain…so you guys anticipate any of the bowl games this weekend to make your list? Just trying to decide if I should take Jax St at -2.5 before it goes up, but also waiting to see if the HooTrain is on either side of that one. Much Appreciated!

Utsa is our first bet, we aren’t taking those games on the 16th

im battling a virus at the moment so I’ll be chilling & getting our slate prepared after Utsa 

 

for those wondering, 13 isn’t enough for Marshall either

 

runners should get us all paid 

 

I annihilated that line
