Bowl Game Money

the USC players don't care about playing in this bowl, Pete isn't going to get them fired up and the line is somewhat high, that being said, the ACC is a bad conference this year and Boston College performed horribly away from home this season, the game should be very low scoring which would make me lean to the dog but USC just has such better athletes than Boston College that I would very hesitant to feel like I had a great bet, I will not be betting this game bro, but a 17-10 USC win wouldn't surprise me one bit

interesting you are betting on the Snead again WahooS---thought you had sworn off that team?

Current Bowl Card

1. Oregon - 2.5
2. Rutgers -2
3. Ole Miss - 2.5
4. LSU + 3.5 (hook)
5. S. Fla - 6
6. Oreg St. - 2
7. Sou Miss - 3 (hook)
8. Kentucky + 7
9. Arkansas - 7 (hook)

 

card is growing rapidly, I will be on more dogs but waiting for better lines, not even sure I will keep Oregon St. but I grabbed the line now in case because I think it goes up to 3 or higher, I won't be around for a few days and will answer insults or questions at a later date

 

best of luck

 

their run is going strong with McCluster now and Snead played well in the bowl game last season, I just think Ole Miss is in a great spot to beat a "down on their luck" Okie St squad that had their eyes set on a BCS bowl, all they needed was a win over their rival, they got exposed and blown out, they will not care about this game as much as Ole Miss and Nutt will, I think Ole Miss wins easily

At first glance looks like I see a lot of things your way... Like Kentucky and LSU, probably be on more just really getting into looking at these matchups

This is a rare first Wahoo...you and I see identically, with the exception of Rutgers. Lean UCF, but would need 4.

I'm scared   This NEVER happens. We usually agree on a couple, disagree on 1.5, and that's it.

I'm on half those already and will be on all of them eventually. I hope I don't mush you

with ya on LSU

The Oregon teams should be on everyones bowl cards with out a doubt.

Good Luck in Bowl Season WahooS

Buck

1. Oregon - 2.5
2. Rutgers -2
3. Iowa + 4 
4. Ole Miss - 2.5
5. LSU + 3.5 (hook)
6. S. Fla - 6
7. Oreg St. - 2
8. Sou Miss - 3 (hook)
9. Kentucky + 7
10. Arkansas - 7 (hook)

 

the Iowa line moved exactly where I wanted it, didn't even bother to buy the hook, up to 10 plays now

BOL Wahoo; with you as always.

Totally Understand Brother

The Colors and Fonts are Insane

Agree with you 1000%....

The Ducks having a  Month to prepare for the Buckeyes boring offense will help ... and yes there is NO WAY Richard Pryor beats them through Air

Ohio St. will always have their Backers/bettors... The Oddsmakers know that and I truly believe that this line is about 3 or 4 points too Low for that reason... Why would they give up Ohio St. Value when they know they will get all the action they want at 3-3.5

13	Nebraska	109.4	18
14	Texas Tech	109.3	25

BIG 12 was/ and is  really Overrated this Year ....

Nebraska,Texas Tech,Oklahoma St.+Oklahoma could all Lose to Anyone of the Teams in my Top 70...

 

a very good point most "line readers" don't consider... if a book feels strongly about a side and also thinks they are gonna get action on the other side no matter where they put a line, they will shade it slightly to create a cushion on the side they are backing... why inflate the line against themselves?

having said that... i do agree that is the case with Ohio St (as it is with Texas, USC or most high profile programs), i don't necessarily think Oregon has that big of an edge in the Rose Bowl... (-4) seems about right to me...

BOL bro

card is shaping up nicely

gotta appreciate the deeeeeeep pockets comment  its a marathon and there's only a few Kenyans like yourself

Actually one is getting excellent value on Ohio st at +3.5. Oddsmakers know that plumbers will line up for Oregon. They know all that people will remember is that OSU got killed in their last 2 title games. (not that it has any real relevance here) They know that plumbers are thinking that the Big 10 has not had much success in the Rose bowl lately, although that is mostly due to USC playing in them. You factort his in and books may think that OSU is actually the slightly higher rated team here, and you are getting about 5 extra points w/ OSu here.

Sound advise....I especially like # 2.  Nobody knows the outcomes of these games and there is no worse feeling then being on the right side and than second guessing yourself and ultimatley end up losing.  Card looks strong...lean to several of the same plays.  Lets finish strong

Get 'em, Wahoo

Ohio St. will always have their Backers/bettors... The Oddsmakers know that and I truly believe that this line is about 3 or 4 points too Low for that reason... Why would they give up Ohio St. Value when they know they will get all the action they want at 3-3.5

Respect your opinions but disagree here.  The perception is that OSU is slow, poorly coached, does not have athletes like the SEC or PAC-10, comes from a bad conference with poor OOC schedules.  They could have made it 6 and still got alot of public Oregon money.  Maybe the linesmakers know Ohio State is gonna make a statement heading into next year. 

The funny thing is as bad as the big ten is they are gonna have some winners because some of these other conferences suck too.  Iowa, Wisconsin, and OSU will all win

comment was meant for double...

OSU was dominated by a bad ass USC team last year.  Dominated by 2 SEC teams who dominated the lines of scrimmage. 

Oregon has neither of these things.  Oregon has a flashy offense and a subpar defense. 

1. Oregon - 2.5
2. Rutgers -2
3. Iowa + 4 
4. Ole Miss - 2.5
5. LSU + 3.5 (hook)
6. S. Fla - 6
7. Oreg St. - 2
8. West Virginia - 2 
9. Sou Miss - 3 (hook)
10. Kentucky + 7
11. Arkansas - 7 (hook)

 

add WVU, just can't see FSU beating them without Ponder and with that laughable defense, considering about 5 more games, will probably start adding soon
