The totals are routinely in the 50's , and this is with much of the season being played in cold weather. I understand that the SEC and Pac 10 have these big TV contracts, and nobody is watching the Big 10 games much, but these preconcived notions are just the reason why so many are losing gamblers. They just can't get over what they "think" they know...
the Big 10 was 1-6 in bowl games last season, also they have all of their games on ESPN every Saturday Morning so many get to see them play

I appreciate your hard work David but as I told you, I deserve a good kick in the ass for this season, not an award, I have been terrible for most of the season, that being said, I never got nominated for season's past when I killed it so I guess it all evens out, Happy Holidays

you pose some very good questions

Oregon is not my favorite bowl play, I like a few of them quite a bit starting with Rutgers tommorrow (one of my favorites)

the hardest thing when considering a bowl matchup is knowing which team will come out rusty, read to play, nervous, etc

that is such a hard thing to predict so I just go with who I would go with during the regular season in most cases

I don't like Ohio St very much, that isn't a secret, I also like the Pac10 quite a bit, that isn't a secret, but no matter what I bet what I think will win, not with bias

I have said many times that I can see this game being very close for a while, maybe the Buckeyes even leading early, but I think the Ducks style of play will eventually wear out the Buckeye defense, they play so fast and when they get in rhythm then it is like a fastbreak offense, the Buckeyes don't face anything like that in their conference, alot of people say the Buckeyes are too physical for the Ducks but the Ducks beat USC by alot and the Trojans are just physical as the Buckeyes if not more every single year, USC always has better offensive linemen and a better defense than Ohio State (maybe equal this year) but USC did win in Columbus

I like the Duck offense and QB much more than the Buckeyes offense and QB, I think the Ducks win bro and I think they do it with relative ease in the 2nd half, 34-20 sounds about right for that game to me

Happy Holidays and Best of Luck for the Bowls

The thing about Oregon is their home/road dichotomy, which is perhaps the biggest of any top 10 team. You guys are saying, "they killed USC, they destroyed Cal", which is true, but that was at home, and the Rose bowl is basically a road game / neutral game. I don't see either team really having a home edge here, but the OSU will have the edge in that they have been a better road team, more consistent, and a good defense usually travels well. If you look at Oregon's road games, they were destroyed in Boise, they beat some weak UCLA and Wash teams, they lost to a good STAN team, giving up 52 pts, and they beat a decent Ariz team but gave up 41 pts there. This road performance is not exactly awe inspiring.

Every year people look for reasons to pick the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl and year after year the same result happens...

  1. Oregon - 2.5  (LARGE MONEY) bought
  2. Marshall + 3
  3. Rutgers -2
  4. Iowa + 4 
  5. Ole Miss - 2.5
  6. LSU + 3.5 (hook)
  7. S. Fla - 6
  8. Oreg St. - 2
  9. West Virginia - 2 
  10. Sou Miss - 3 (hook)
  11. Kentucky + 7
  12. Arkansas - 7
  13. USC - 6.5(hook)

 

 

Oregon is upgraded to LARGE MONEY, the original play was for regular juice but I didn't want different lines so I had to buy it down from a couple of different numbers at various books to get my original number, higher juice than I would normally ever pay on a big bet, but if it wins like I think it will than the juice is a n non factor

 

 

Best of Luck & Happy New Year

Goooooo Ducks!!!

don't know how I just won Ole Miss, if Snead wasn't on the take today then he really is worse than I thought earlier in the year, dude led the FBS in picks this season, needless to say he will probably come back for his senior year and with a splendid senior season he might be holding a clipboard in the CFL, Mel Kiper had him going as the 1st QB taken before this season started, wow, he is worse at predicting the draft than I am at predicting the games

6-5 (but down money because of getting smacked around with Oregon) 

have Arkansas & Iowa pending

will probably add another play or two for   prime time fade material, this season just can't end fast enough for me, I don't think I'm gonna get drafted now either, I might not even make a practice squad next season after this year's performance
