I follow the college game quite closely. This is the first season I have entered an ATS bowl pool. Just thought I would post my picks, and track them in this thread. I'm not betting all of these plays, but I will play the ones I like the most, obviously. All comments and feedback is welcomed!
December 20th:
UL Lafayette +1.5 -102
Utah St. -10 -103
Utah -2.5 -110
Air Force +2 -106
Bowling Green +2.5 -106
The only game I am putting money on is Utah -2.5. I have liked what I've seen from this Utes team all season, and I believe they will be too much for this Colorado St. team to handle. Hoping to start this pool off on the right foot! Let the bowling commence!

Flawless start to the bowl season on Saturday. Hit all five games for the bowl pool I am in. I sit alone in first place, as nobody else went
5-0. I guess you could say that I control my own destiny now. LOL. I only put additional money on Utah -2.5 easy winner!
Bowl Pool ATS Picks: 5-0
Money Plays: 1-0 +1 unit
December 22nd:
BYU +2 -106
I am throwing a unit on BYU +2 as well. I just feel that this BYU team has had time to adjust to their injury situation, and that their coaching staff will have these guys focused to play here. I question the Memphis mindset here on the big stage with this being the programs' first bowl game in six years. I also really like the under in this game, but I am not much of a totals guy! Good luck today everyone!

Tough one with BYU yesterday. Both teams played like garbage and deserved to lose, but you have to give the Tigers credit, they made plays when it mattered the most.
December 23rd:
Marshall -8.5
San Diego St. -3
Leaning towards the chalk today, but not putting any additional funds on these today. I went back and forth on the Marshall/NIU game for hours. I just believe Marshall's overall talent level will be good enough to get them the cover in this one. I really like the way NIU played down the stretch, as I backed them a lot, but I like the Thundering Herd to finish their season strong.
Navy is the kind of team I usually like to back, but I feel the SDSU defence matches up well with what the Midshipmen like to do on offence. I look for the Aztecs to continue their strong defensive play that they demonstrated down the stretch.
Bottom line is that I just don't trust Marshall enough laying this many points to put a play on them, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Navy beats SDSU, so I will just be cheering for my pool picks to do well today. Good luck this evening everyone!

I threw a unit on Rice last night. Obviously, there is a better line available now. I still like them. The Chippewas are just a pool pick with no additional money on them. Short on time today. Merry Christmas all. Enjoy your time with family and friends!

Throwing a unit on UCF. The other two picks are what I played for the bowl pool I am in. Short on time once again. I will try to post some thoughts on the UCF play later today.

Throwing a unit on Nebraska, and I am buying the hook with Miami -3 -122. For my pool purposes, I am grading Miami at -3.5 though. Good luck today guys!

The pool I am in uses a website that tracks the line moves, and moves them accordingly. So, this pool is a bit sharper than your standard ATS pools. With that being said, I am waiting a little longer on the Texas/Arkansas game. Will be back later with my pick. The Oklahoma pick is also a 1 unit money play. Think they flex their college football muscle today. If Deshaun Watson was playing, it would make a huge difference IMO. Cole Stoudt is trash.

Terrible picks today! I'm not even going to get into Oklahoma. Chalk it up as a loss and move on! I was going to play Texas tonight, but the Big Ten is getting worked today! Just picking them in my pool, which for all intensive purposes, I am out of after today. LOL. Good luck the rest of the bowl season guys.

Loved this play when the bowl match ups were announced, and I love it even more after seeing the Big 12 get worked over yesterday. I just think Ole Miss matches up very well with TCU. I can see a similar result as the Oklahoma/Clemson game yesterday, maybe just not as lopsided. Oklahoma essentially gave up after they fell behind early. Clemson did it with defence, and I expect that to be the game plan for the Rebels as well against TCU.
I was really down after that Oklahoma debacle because Clemson is the type of play I really like to get behind. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but undervalued dogs that can play defence vs perceived "good teams" with a high public backing is, more often than not, right up my alley! This is what I believe to be the case again for this game. Get that cash!
