Florida -3 (3 units)  should be a Fantastic Game ... You might to Alt line this as well.. Who ever wins it wont be close IMO ..
 
Ohio St +11 (3 units)  We can't agree on all of them .. I love Texas ... Ohio St has not played 1 Good Offense this year .. This could get really ugly ...I Have been way off on some of my Largest Plays this year ... So you could be money here  
 
Georgia -7 (2 units)   Michigan St gets dominated by good teams .. Hoyer will make a ton of Mistakes .. another game where
the Alt line makes sense ... 
 
Ole Miss +7 (1.5 units)   Ole Miss is in my top 10 in the country .. I can't wait to watch this game .. Im afraid to lay anything on it right now ..waiting   
 
PSU/USC under 45.5 (1.5 units)   I thought this total would be realeased at 40... shocked it's this high
 
Cincy/Va Tech under 41   The Hokies have an excellent D.. I think the total is right were it should be but I see less than 40
 
BC/Vandy under 41 ... No read yet
 
FAU/CMU over 61.5   Both of these teams could score 40+
 
Wisc/Fla St under 52.5  agree .. I see a 20-16 game either way
 
Wake Forest -3    Wake has been getting no respect all year 
 
Fresno St -2.5  I never thought Colorado St would make it to a Bowl .. Pat Hill will have his squad up for this one
 
So Carolina +4  Iowa might not score ...I will be Alt lining this as well
 
TCU -2.5   with ya ... D should force Moore into some mistakes
 
UConn -4 I am a U at Buffalo Homer so I am sitting this one out
 
BYU +9/MiaFL +13  NO READ
 
Pitt +9/Tulsa +8.5
Utah +17/under 51.5
 
Nice Card Brother  Nos
 
I Hope you hit 90%+....
You sir are an excellent Capper and may you be Blessed with a Bigger Bank account during the Bowl season  //
 
BEST OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS,WEALTH, BLESSINGS and LUCK TO ALL !!

double - always good to get your feedback on the games, enjoy the holidays and BOL this bowl season bro
 
 
Wake Forest 27 Navy 17 - WF looking to avoid season sweep here and had 6 turnovers in first matchup, WF won 44-24 in 2007 and type of defense that can contain option, Grobe solid coach and time to prepare probably benefits WF more.
 
Fresno St 34 Colo St 24 - neither team is very good, favor matchup of Fresno running game against poor CSU run defense and FSU coach Hill and Bulldogs have good bowl record winning 4 of 5 and probably also benefit more from time off to get healthy.
 
TCU 30 Boise St 20 - Horned Frog defense very solid allowing more than 14 points only against OU this year. Boise St schedule fairly weak and although defense is pretty solid gave up 33 ppg to Oregon and Nevada two of the few quality opponents.
 
UConn 30 Buffalo 17 - look for UConn to have success running the ball against medicore Bull run defense, Huskies capable of coverting defensive or special teams TDs and play solid defense allowing 30 pts in only 4 of last 25 games.
 
So Carolina 23 Iowa 20 - SC fairly solid run defense a key to containing Iowa and Stanzi only throwing for 200+ in two games this year. SC offense should generate some points with Spurrier effective with time to prepare in recent bowls, SC only one loss by more than TD other than FL. Mild upset.
 
Florida St 28 Wisconsin 17 - FSU defense matches up well with run oriented Wisc offense (10 TD passes this year), none of the Badgers last 5 bowl games have exceeded 45 points including some against decent offenses UGA and Tenn (at the time), might eventually cancel this and instead go with team total under for Badgers (around 24) since FSU more likely to extend into the 30's.

Ohio St...4-0 in the Fiesta Bowl in recent years...I agree Nostra that with the points it is a definite play, and they can win outright....

johnnynumbers - BOL
 
actually all teaser amounts are closer to 1/2 unit, not enough coffee this morning

updated bowl games
 
Florida -3 (3 units)
Ohio St +11 (3 units)
Georgia -7 (2 units)
Ole Miss +7 (1.5 units)

Cincy/Va Tech under 41
BC/Vandy under 41
FAU/CMU over 61.5
Wisc/Fla St under 52.5
Wake Forest -3
Fresno St -2.5
So Carolina +4
TCU -2.5
UConn -4
BYU +9/Mia +13 (1/2 unit)
Pitt +9/Tulsa +8.5 (1/2 unit)
Utah +17/u 51.5 (1/2 unit)

possible impact injuries for bowls if interested
 
UNC - LB Paschel (out)...leading tackler
MiaFL - QB Marve (questionable)...possible grade issues
Rutgers - DE Westerman (out)
Maryland - WR Heyward-Bey (quest)
Ore St- RB Rodgers (quest), WR Rodgers (doubtful)
Cincy - CB Mickens (quest)...looks like he might recover soon
Tulsa - WR Marion (doubtful)...25.9 ypc

MIA/CAL-Marve or Harris will maintain the U.....The U Def. is the difference maker in this game

Numbers for both teams are almost equal....Mind you UM has about 75% Freshman on the squad....Still, The trip to the Westside I dont see factoring in as it would be a 5pm game in FLA......Ill take +7 all day  

----NOS---

I read ur write up on SC/IOWA.......I dont recall SC beating a good team all year, and IOWA/PSU is burnt into my mind....I think they both have pretty solid D, but would deff. give IOWA the advantage on offense and the ability to at least cover 3-6pts......BOL

I really like Colo State against Fresno State. I think this game is bigger for Colo state and something tells me Pat hill might not be there next year. Who knows? I just think Colo State Running back can take Over and I seen this team give teams a run for there money...

I like Cal in this almost home game in SF
 
I hope Marve does play as I think Harris is the better QB and they have problems when they keep shifting them
 
Get him a tutor and keep flip/floping them
 
Cal is 8-0 ATS in last 8 home games and this is basically a home game

parlaid - Iowa and SC heading opposite directions last couple games, SC did beat Ole Miss which is good team, pretty even teams overall and if SC can contain run Iowa not great passing game, SC will score some against solid though not dominate Iowa defense, not a strong play since 3.5-4 not much too work with if SC loses SU which is at least 50/50 shot
 
LTE - two bad teams hard to say for sure, Hill tends to have team ready for bowls and TV so lean towards that continuing, CSU inability to stop run giving up large rushing yards to everyone including SD St, which might play into FSU game
 
jordyn - true Cal is tough at home and playing close although if recall this stadium is grass (Cal would benefit if it's turf), also crowd will be subdued compared to true home game, neutral on game for most part and Miami not good on defense lately so could be 38-20 type blowout, although might benefit from getting couple players back (have not checked recently)
 
putz56 - two great teams tough to separate on paper and hard to make strong case against team scoring 60+ five straight, believe FL has the better defense only allowing more than 21 once this year and proven big game experience last couple years, similar OU defense to recent years has given up 43+ in 3 of last 4 bowl games
 
GL all - only 112 hours until WF-Navy kickoff

bird, putz56 - BOL
 
einyx - probably would lean the over, even though USF offense only over 21 pts a couple times since early in the season, Memphis defense could be the cure, probably playing in dome and on turf could help as well, closest similar matchup might be Memp-UL which went over, maybe 34-20 or 38-21 type game, GL
 
skipster - still like OSU at lower number, although not quite as strong, might wait for possible move back up to 10-11 again or if not eventually move might buy 1/2 pt or even leave at 9.5, BOL bowl season

bama ox - lean towards BC based on bowl record and better offense. Neb-Clem total is tough - on one hand Neb tends to play over this total, on the other Clemson has only had one game (excluding Citadel) go over this total, so pass for me. GT-LSU tough to figure with LSU decent against run (although option tougher to defend) and GT not really one to extend score winning by TD or more only 3 times (excluding Jack St), although option is clicking late in the year and LSU QBs sloppy. BOL bro

Nos,
 
First,
 
Second, you know Pat Hill got caught interviewing for the Washington job. (he tried to keep it on the lo-lo)
 
Now he is rumored to be on the short list for the Iowa State job.
 
Doesn't that seem like a lot of distraction to try to overcome.

Nos, we both like Calif, I have it -61/2. Now because of the Marve suspension it is up to 8.
 
I personally think Harris is the better QB and will now play relaxed and not looking over his shoulder. I liked it better when they played musical QB,s. If it goes up to 10 I may try to middle it
 
Any thoughts

Hey Nos!  Great run this year bud!
Ur thoughts on the GA game.  Obviously I'm a DAWG, not the lock they were against Hawaii, but we should still be playing a better team than Mich State, what a rip.
Solid win here, I agree 100%.
BOL

cardinal - FSU players should not be distracted based on what I've read on their website and since Hill withdrew from UW interview and claimed work left to do at FSU, who knows for sure though- GL
 
jordyn - have not quite figured out how that matchup plays out although will be good to see what Harris can do in a full game
 
dawg, drudatt - BOL
 
westside - i like to play 2 team teasers once in awhile usually for less than a regular play, maybe rare 3-4 teamer if sets up really well. Like to look for certain teams that consistently give a good effort and talent enough unlikely to lose straight up (if laying 7-10) or unlikely to get blown out (if dogs 2-5) and just maybe 1-2 a week with the two best that can be found, for example someone like Va Tech going from +2.5 to 8.5 (or 11.5 if 3 teamer) would sound pretty good as team tough to blow out and gives a good effort most times out. GL
