What if rules three and six don't go together. Example TCU versus Michigan State.

#9 Posted: 12/4/2012 12:38:08 PM Those schools out west are never rated that highly (most of them are "little brothers") but they all have good coaches and QBs. The QB is very important in a Bowl game, unless their is a physical mismatch between the teams.
The SEC has 6 of the top 10 schools, and maybe the top 6 schools period. The other 3 (MIss St, Miss, and Vandy) are top 25 at worst. This conference lives football 12 months a year, which means they will all show up for the Bowl. If I had to make an exception, I might bet against Miss St. They seem to be a little off this year.
The bottom 6 B10 teams this year are worse than the top 6 teams in the MAC this year. B10 has tough traditional bowl matchups and with no Ohio St and Penn St, the rest of teams are playing in a bowl a notch or two better than what their talent dictates.
The same goes for the ACC. After the top 2, there is a huge dropoff. And Clemson and Florida St are talented, but not top 10 caliber. Clemson has a underperforming defense and Florida St an underperforming offense.
The Big East is not great, but they are better than the average B10 or ACC team. I think there is usually line value in backing BE teams, because a lot of people assume they are the worst BCS conference top to bottom. Teddy Bridgewater is a top QB and if healthy he will have a big day win or lose. Pitt is playing its best football now they have everyone healthy. Cuse is also on a roll. Not sure about Rutgers or Cinci...

#21 Posted: 12/4/2012 9:23:29 PM 7. Never wager on a team who's HC's name rhymes with either His Fault or Cocky Dong. They will likely be either 1-5 or 1-5-1 ATS in Bowl games. 
Tom O'Brien is 8-1 ATS in his last 9 Bowl games and would have been a nice dog play against Vandy.  |

#23 Posted: 12/4/2012 10:08:26 PM Good way to see the BOWLS... i am more oriented to your last rule... GO to the underdog... not always true, but 60% or more is true!
I learned that when i lost so many games years ago with the "champions" not the underdogs...!

I don't like being against you on any pick, but SJ St is one my top 3 picks, system or not. BOL to you, I hope you sweep the rest of your card. |
