Been doing this a LONG time and this is normally my worst weekend of the tear for college games. I have learned (the hard way) that Rivalry Week = small bets. |

With you on GB, but Seattle-Minn. is a no bet for me. Normal conditions, Seahawks by 10+. Having played in 12 degree weather in college - it makes a difference - a big difference. I remember not wanting to go back out after halftime and we were winning by 14 points. PACKERS 31-24 BOL & thanks for your informative posts!

Agree with both your picks. Chiefs need to jump out early, which I believe they will do. If Houston gets an early lead and the fans get loud - could be a long day... KC Chiefs 27-17 Pittsburgh has Big Ben and his experience (also some great WR's). The Bengals are better everywhere else and a much better team. Cincy 23-21 BOL

***Bowl Season Thread*** Its hard to be sharp when you're so well rounded......
in College Football Our leader either has a job or a wife. Hard to pick all the bowl games 2 & 3 weeks out. Luckily, I have gone 14-8 since Monday. My picks today: GA -6 - 1* OVER 43.5 (GA-PSU) - 1* Kansas State +13 - 2* WV -1 - 2* OVER 62 (WV-KS) - 2* GLA |

Happy New Year DAVID I agree with you over in the NW-TENN game, though I got it at 49. However, I took Michigan -4. While both have excellent coaches, I just don't feel Florida can score more than 10 points on Michigan. And I just can't ever get myself to bet on Notre Dame... My big bet of the day is OVER 69.5 in the Miss. State - Oklahoma State game tonight. I feel the total will be in the 80's and possibly 90's.

Through 27 bowl games - prior to USC-Wisconsin game: (my bookies line) 17 - over 9 - under 1 - push 17 favorites have covered 10 underdogs I like your over picks in the first 2 New Years Eve games. I also like the Houston +7 and Michigan State +9.5. What are your thoughts?

Love the AF pick! Teams that can run the ball do well in bowls. I absolutely love the over 69 in the Baylor-NC "NO DEFENSE BOWL."

Thanks to Train and his help with the college picks, I am +47 units. This is NFL & NCAA combined. My units are $25 and most of my bets are 1 to 4 units, though I did hit a 20 unit ($500) bet earlier to help my total. I worked in Vegas for a few years in the early to mid 90's. I would like to share a few things I learned there and since: ** Lay off the parlays. The bookies make a large % of their money on 3-5 team parlays. This is especially true for local bookies that count pushes/ties as losses. ** Always bet against the MNF winner the following week. ** Lean toward the UNDER in mid-week (Tues.-Fri.) night games. ** Lean toward the under more as the season enters the 2nd half. ** If a college team changes coaches mid-week, BET on that team in the following game and lean against that team in their 2nd game, after the change. ** Stay away from "free picks" from those that are trying to sell you picks! Thinking that they will give you free winners, so you will pay them in the future, is wrong. They know you are more likely to pay for picks when you are in the hole, not when you are winning $. ** Don't trust anyone (Train69 included) for all your bets. Make your picks before you start looking at what everyone else thinks. Then use their knowledge and expertise to tweak your picks. And most importantly, don't be giving grief to the people you follow for picks and advice. You are the one that placed the bet. BOL to all and know that Train69 is as good as there is in picking college football games ATS. 55% is your goal, 60% is out-frigging-standing!

Train - I enjoy your picks and your humor. You have kept me out of the poor house on Saturdays. Keep up the good work! It's all about perspective. My dog wonders why I crap in his favorite drinking bowl...

NCAA WEEK 13 **** Heart of gold. Balls of steel. Sh!t for brains. ****
in College Football Thanks for all your help this year! I seem to do better at the NFL, so you have helped me keep the college picks on the winning side. I am wondering how good you are at picking NFL games - any stats on your NFL picks? Romo isn't the savior. He makes Dallas a lot better, but they still aren't better than the Panthers. PANTHERS WIN Bet the farm!

Defense isn't the strong point of either team. TCU has better offensive skill players and the secondary is WV's weakest link. I realize that the visiting team has won each game in this series, but WVU isn't as good a team they have been. Being from SC and not having a dog in the fight, I am betting on the home team minus the 13 points. TCU 44-20 |

Marshall is the highest rated play of the weekend, according to my computer analytics. Then again, Miss. State -20.5 was the 2nd highest play and that didn't turn out too well... Anyway, got to play the numbers: Marshall -7 for 100 Under 60 for 50 |

Being a follower of Clemson, I also need to add that when things go wrong for Clemson, they tend to snowball. When they lose, they normally lose bad. If the 3's aren't falling at a 35-40% rate, it could easily turn into a 72-49 game. I think I'll place a small bet on the OVER 114.
