Well guys my last football bet was Wednesday when NIU woke up in the 2H and beat Toledo. 1-0 day +$600 46-37 on the season +$7,800. I have 4 plays today lets not waste anymore time:
1. UCONN +7 for $1,100
This would be the game no one will be watching as 0-9 UCONN is in Philly to take on 1-8 Temple. This is a revenge game for UCONN if they had beaten Temple LY they would've been bowl eligible. UCONN lost 17-14 after leading 14-0.In that game UCONN was sacked 6 times a season high
Also in that game the following happened
1 Temple was sacked 4 times which was a season high
2. It was the only time LY Temple held an opponent to under 130 yards rushing{UCONN had 88 yards on 41 carries}
3. UCONN threw 39 passes a season high
4. It was the only game Temple won with a negative turnover ratio
5. And probably the most important UCONN missed 4 field goals
Both teams have been disappointments as i picked both for bowls this year. In a game no one cares about i like UCONN to win outright and get win #1 on the season
2. LSU -5.5 for $220
I'm continuing with fading A&M like i said i'd do. Picking between Manziel and Les Miles is like picking between herpes and the clap so i'm going with the clap today
3. Washington State -1.5 for $770
With a win today Washington State is bowl eligible for the 1st time since 2006 though their last bowl game was 2003. WSU is coming off a 24-17 win over Arizona which imo was their best game of the year. LY when these 2 met in Salt Lake City WSU got the snot kicked out of them 49-6. Afterwards Leach went on big rant about his teams effort including mentioning that Utah consistently with Lotulelei got pressure on the qb with 2 guysWell fortunately for WSU Lotulelei is in the NFL
As for Utah they are 4-6 losers of 4 straight since beating Stanford. they got the bad news this week about Travis Wilson who may never play football again due to concussions. The reason this play is not bigger is i worry about the intangible of Utah coming out playing hard for their teammate who may never play again combining that with the fact that Utah's next loss eliminates them from bowl contention. But nevertheless i think WSU comes out today and wins the game by 10-14 points getting them to bowl eligibility for the 1st time since 2006
4. 2 team 6 point teaser Illinois -0.5 North Texas -1.5 for $110
Illinois comes in having lost 20 straight Big 10 conference games and 11 road games in a row. Coach Beckman is on the hot seat and if you lose to Purdue his fate may be sealed after just 2 years
North Texas comes in with a record of 7-3 vs a UTSA team who is 5-5 in year 3 of football. North Texas should they win out will play in the C-USA title game in 2 weeks as they have the tiebreaker over Rice. Also with Rice pulling 1 out in OT vs UAB Thursday Night the Mean Green need to keep putting wins on the board to get to the conference title game
Basically i need both teams to win by a field goal and i like my chances with that
BOL guys your thoughts are welcome
