    should be a great bowl season. better matchups this year, imo. though last year was pretty easy to bet.

    Can't help but remember the first time I was ever allowed to ride the team bus to a game.  9 years old.  NAIA playoff game at Carroll College....  About a 10 hour bus ride one way.  To this day, probably the coldest game I've every sat through in my life.  Bottom half in a down sleeping bag.  Carroll coach was Bob Petrino Sr.  The QB was some cocky red-headed kid named Paul Petrino.    I wonder whatever happened to him (nice year for the Vandals BTW)..... Now he's just older and feisty.  Will probably fade Idaho -- like the way Colorado State has been playing late in the year.

    Good luck on the bowl games to you as well!

    Hey BA, I just started using Betonline about a month ago, how's the withdraw process?  Is there a best way to get your money out?  Are there minimums, and do they take a fee?  TIA

    In the past underdogs in the week between Christmas and New Years have hit a high percentage.  

    When the New Year hits, favorites have dominated historically.

    Favorites with more than two losses usually are good fades.

    WARNING................................


    I already see (many) handicapping these bowl games like a regular season game game.........

    The FIRST question you ALWAYS ask yourself...
      *is THIS where they wanted to be...when the season began?....and you go from there

    When Wisconsin reported for fall camp.........if told..... bust your azz for several months?.....your REWARD would be to play stinkin' W Michigan in the Cotton Bowl.............all good?...............NOPE

    Again.....stop thinking GAME DAY......
       *hahaha BA you idiot.....oh they'll be fired up !!!.....you just wait !
    HOW.....could they not?.............................


    THINK 1st day / week of  bowl practice....just lost a really tough game.....your season is really OVER ain't it.....now you gotta start OVER again....for WHAT?.....to spend NYE in Arlington TX (actually Dallas / Fort Worth)  < not much better

      *getting in QUALITY work?...........no way

      ** can they get it together ENOUGH to win / cover? ............is their talent edge ENOUGH to overcome any of this?.....will their (leaving for ) NFL draft soon guys ....cruise here / not get hurt?????

    A great example of this was Texas / TCU
      *especially since I made this mistake too...... 

    Did Texas players REALLY want to send Charlie off with a W?............sure they did
      * plus you saw how bad TCU was at home vs Okie St / Kansas State

    What happened ?.....most likely
     *were Horns focused during their week of workouts?.....were their minds on TCU.....or on something else?.............

    They got ZERO quality work in no doubt....
      *FIRED UP?......like crazy..........immediately got pounded by a WEAK TCU team........who WERE focused like crazy ...all week you bet............

    and i know your plays are pointing out soft lines which should move and usually do, the army has already moved to 7. how much movement will you see before no play, and also do u ever look to middle. there were a few games this year that would move 6-7 points. 

    my local allows upto 8 team 7 point pleasers that i can open and fill as the week evolves. the 6 teamer pays 6 to 1. i would open with your ealy lines in one and if a heavy mover would go through some key numbers id middle in another sometimes getting 20+ point middles. i know teasers are sucker bets but i have had my best year this year and a lot was due to your insightss. thanks again

    yep guess I could have clarified those..
      *discount shopping frenzy..........one unit play at 10

    probably still good at 7......recent games have been tight...here's last 10 years......Army has covered 4/5....last 10 under

                                                SU               ATS
    ARMY    17    NAVY    21    L    -21.0     W    49.5    U
    ARMY    10    NAVY    17    L    -16.5     W    55.5    U
    ARMY    7    NAVY    34      L    -13.0      L    49.0    U
    NAVY    17    ARMY    13    L    +7.0      W    55.5    U
    ARMY    21    NAVY    27    L    -7.0       W    55.5    U
    NAVY    31    ARMY    17    L    +7.5       L    52.5    U
    ARMY    3    NAVY    17      L    -14.5     W    41.5    U
    NAVY    34    ARMY    0      L    +10.5     L    43.0    U
    ARMY    3    NAVY    38      L    -13.5      L    64.0    U
    ARMY    14    NAVY    26    L    -19.5      W    50.0    U

    difference this year?
      *Army with the better D....pretty good LB play + they now have a FB who can grind 4-5 yds /whack.......giving you 3rd / short instead of the dreaded 3rd/long....
       *punt return is #1.....giving them much better FP than usual.....they still make too many mistakes (killed them in this game).....#83 TO margin....ST still terrible at #127.....Navy #60 ST / #56 TO margin

    BEST thing?.....of course
      *Navy QB and top RB Gulley (one of 2) are OUT here....most others beat up.....Army has been off since Nov 19 (only Morgan State)

    If drops below 7.....I would go small....or maybe just play the ML
      * UNDER....or teasing with the under......should work?.....if thinking that way......

    Hey BA, thanks for your contributions regarding bowl games. I have never done with bowl games so hoping to match my plays against a few others. Has your bowl philosophy treated you well in the past? I'm guessing it has been profitable and I'm hoping it continues this year!
