The O/U is tough, but I'd lean under because of the long layoff, and these teams both have their defenses twice as good as their offenses.

I know you meant tulsa, but anyway i agree with you on this. Strength of schedule is not close. Iowa State has played way better competition. they win by 7. |

So if every team ISU lost to is better than Tulsa, why is the line pick 'em ?? I know why - because Vegas is stupid and they want you to win so they put out lines that are easy to beat, ESPECIALLY this time of the year. Wake up. Whenever something looks too easy in this game, it usually is. Give me Tulsa for full three unit play

I had a chance to read most of your analyis on all the bowl games so far...You are spot on ..! I wish I saw your post earlier before all the games, I would save some money. Even though so far.. Iam up couple of Units last week.
Thanks for posting your insight and picks..!

1. Revenge in a bowl game is a powerful criteria. The most recent example was 2 years ago when Wash played Neb. Neb killed Wash 52 -10 in regular season. Wash, as 10 pt dog, beat Neb 10- straight up with Locker at QB. in the bowl game. Small sample size but many other examples can be found. Play Tulsa on the revenge angle. Works much better in college than in pros.
2. Consensus favors Tulsa but not by a huge margin - I would not bet this on consensus indicator if that was all I had but there is more. Play Tulsa
3. Sharp / Square ML indicator does not yet show a play on Tulsa but is leaning that way. May be a full play on Tulsa by gametime.
3. CE Diff is 10% on Tulsa - 10% is the minimum adv I will play in a bowl game but the proven handicappers like Tulsa by this margin. This is only hitting 50% in bowl games but it looks pretty good when used in conjunction with my other indicators.
Tulsa will be a 2 or 3 unit play for me depending on the late steam. Late steam on ISU will take me off the game. Late Steam on Tulsa would move this from a 2 unit play to a 3 unit play.
3.

#23 Posted: 12/31/2012 10:53:10 AM Tulsa + 2 over Iowa State!
Must take Tulsa plus 2 points here! Key Iowa St. RB Shontrelle Johnson (504 YDs rushing) is now out! And Iowa State starting QB Steele Jantz is very questionable for todays game.
Plus, much improved Tulsa now 8-2 straight up and 6-2 vs. point spread last 8 games!
Expecting Tulsa's mobile QB Cody Green (2499 YDs, 225 YDs rushing and 17 TDs) to team up with RBs Trey Watts (959 YDs) and Ja'Terian Douglas (857 YDs) to get their revenge and win this one outright!
Tulsa plus 2 points over Iowa State!

Steam from smart money betting late should not be ignored. You can do what you want with it, I have no interest in whether you win or lose.
