is that the team you are handicapping for these bowl games are entirely different than the team you handicapped during the regular season. Yeah there might be some semblance of it but given all the transfers and opt outs you really are handicapping a team without any data points or past performances as it is structured for the bowl game. Perhaps that is why a lot of dogs and unders have been hitting this season. Take a look at today's first bowl game between MD v NC State. These two teams today are completely different than what they were during the regular season - the Terps have lost 4 good receivers (3 - WRs and 1 TE) and this was a team that did well in its passing game. While NC State isn't as affected as the Terps in terms of players not playing, can you trust whoever they have playing QB???
As a gambler when I handicap games i tend to look at past performances and data points that i can examine and say well they may play to this level again today or today's opponent is not as strong as what they faced during the regular season but the plain fact is that it is sort of impossible to do so when the make up of a team is so completely different in a bowl game. Really the only teams not affected by this I don't think are those in the college playoffs. And what will happen when we expand the playoffs - will players still opt out??
All i am saying is that the thing about these bowl games this year is the team on the field isn't the same during the season so you better be careful how you bet. This might be obvious to everyone but worth stating as a reminder.
Good luck today.
