absolutely no damn way

Fader - Florida is the only listed consensus play and as of this moment, I have 4 cappers on it with no one on Oklahoma, so based on my criteria it is indeed a consensus pick at this time.  Obviously that could and likely will change as I get more capper input...

And thanks, glad to be out of the box myself....

Thanks for all you hard work on this manifesto... i meant no disrespect; I personally have picked several favs early thinking the public would drive those lines higher... for that same reason; I am waiting to get more points on the dogs that I like... i suspect a lot of cappers are doing the same thing...

Enough with the good...now the bad:
That VA TECH pick is garbage
Cincy is going to kill them.  
1. Cincy has had massive injury issues so they will be getting healthy at the right time.
2. Va Tech is a very mediocre team.  Fine the ACC has a lot of bowl teams - it is a garbage conference.  I know the Big East is as well but Cincy is the best team Va Tech will have faced all year.  Cincy has already faced Oklahoma, hung tight with them for three quarters even though they lost their QB to a broken leg.  Bradford had 5TD passes - if that is Cincy's biggest weakness then Va Tech is not a team that can exploit it.  Va Tech gets nothing out of their QBs.
3. Va Tech is very young having unprecedented special teams meltdowns all year but working hard and hanging arounddoing just enough to win.  Not gonna cut it in this game.
4. Throw out the Hawaii game.  Cincy completely mailed it in having already won the Big East and still won the game.  Word was that people were shocked to see that Cincy was staying in a hotel on the beach because most teams know that you have to decide between making the trip to Hawaii a vacation or business.  Cincy made it a vacation and still won.


Uneducated rambling with egregious assumptions.

welcome back bro.
 
I have been there myself.

There are some here that are more interested in running a social club than making money.  Some will rat you out just for the pleasure of doing so.  Steer clear.  keep doing what you do which is make money.  There is NO WRONG in that.  I am not interested in bickering or playing social favorites.  My only interest in money and how much of it I can take from the Book and put in my own pocket. 

Did you check out the dude I emailed you about?  Currently, my roll is increased 4x off of his plays. there is some quality input too.  His analysis is dynamite.  Of course, I dont play all of his picks.  Personally, I never bet on or against a team I personally like and if I sniff a personal favorite from a capper, I avoid that like the plague too. 
 
Love what you do bro and I respect how you do it.
 
You take input from some of the best....Pimp, Bibendi to name a few.

I think Florida will kick OU to sleep. 

Stats aside, OU lost to Texas and gave up 45 pts in the process.  Both OU and Texas are loaded offensively. Fine. I  have no problems with that.  Yes, OU has put up crazy numbers, consecutively no less.  But who have they done it against?  With all respect possible to the Big 12 faithful, it pales in comparison, DEFENSIVELY speaking to what U of F brings to the table. Florida throws up NICE numbers too.   But the real issue is defense.  How much has U of F given up and who have they given it up to?  The fundamental issue in this game is the vaunted OU offense vs the U of F defense. 

Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.  When the tire hits the road, I will ALWAYS take the STRONGER defensive team.  The stronger defensive team hands down is U of F.  Stevie Wonder and Hellen Keller can see that.  I am laying LARGE LOOT on U of  F. 

I feel really good that thus far it is a consensus pick from cappers that I really respect.  I am gonna lock that puppy in HARD and HEAVY.  I suspect the line will climb and fall 1-2 points as the oddsmakers will carefully manipulate this magic number to balance the money out so they ensure that they cash regardless of outcome.

Just my 2 cents

As always BOL to all.  The best part is that with the best cappers blended in to a consensus, there is very little luck involved.  If you arent making money with Festo, then you arent managing your money at all.

Adding 2 Cents:

Checking the famous Max Clucko pool and making an unscientific extrapolation, based solely on my biased leans towards certain Covers Handicappers, there appears to be some consensus on:

CMU
Troy
TCU
S Carolina
UGA
UCONN

manifesto - good to see you out the pen.  hope they didn't bend you over too often in there. 
 
"It's no big deal"
 
lookin forward to seeing the consensus play movement.  I'm sure there will be quite a bit as the picks roll in.  Good move on updating the strategy, I'm sure it will be difficult to find many games that are "number-zero" due to the fact that games will get more action.
 
Best of Luck to you this bowl season, and I'll be checkin in regularly.

Yes Bendi is correct for the most part....not really promoting banned members but including their names in my capper list in the thread and also I did post a link which is a really bad idea as I found out....
