good man NEIL V................

Good luck bro .. 

ok, i just dont see Clemson get past Oklahoma, not the way they close out their last 4-5 games, just a crappy team, barely escaping a bunch of cakewalks, worst #1 team , oklahoma will take them to da woodshed , championship game will be oklahoma - bama wich will be a cointoss, and if by any means clemson kittens get to the ncg, who ever gets there will crush them

*might add to smaller plays (or reduce larger) as we go /stuff happens.....Ole Miss my top play so far.....Ducks a few units behind


I'll (probably) have at least a short write-up on each bowl......

you too man BOL /  Happy Holidays..........

Just LOVE those Sooners?........Clempson has no shot?

Here's what you do..........
  *sell everything you own....borrow against your home and car...pimp out your dog and as many chicks as you can round up............THEN put it all on mighty OU......but watch out...because the last time they saw a QB this good was?......last year's bowl game when Clemson bent 'em over Deliverance style 40-6.................

That's right.....and I have NEVER heard it mentioned........
   *wonder why?.....

Baylor > TCU > Okie St..........all QB's OUT
 * Russell arguably a Heisman finalist....Boykin a Heisman winner?....Rudolph having one of best season's in school history
(BTW should play in bowl)
  *and somehow.....getting pounded like a cheap blow-up doll by sorry Texas....doesn't really count either

A talented.....but extremely lucky team (sure often you create your own luck).....but when has a team faced their 3 toughest opponents (all) with their QB's out?
   * OU at home with Mayfield out 2H almost got beat by a totally decimated TCU team  > many more besides Boykin / Doctson were out  

good news?.......all 3 are beatable
  *Bama is just a big / fat bully that sits on you until you can't breathe.................................................BOL.....

WinsNow999.....WAHOO.......thanks boys / BOL......

the  best  of all tks  

RELAX.........anytime I see / hear....a theirgonnakillem' type statement ....I will usually issue a warning of some sort
  *ESPECIALLY the annual <  Big12 LOVE >... in bowl season


Simply my message to ALL emotionally invested Sooner backers here..............

NOTE:  Clempson is not one of my plays....I just think they'll probably win .....listed here as hunch / small play ok type thing
  *used by me in a ML parlay maybe / or at 4 > a 6 pt teaser maybe

NOTE:  B12 in key bowls........

 *8-11 SU / 5-14 ATS in BCS / play-off games
 *JAN bowls?....14-21 SU / 9-25-1 ATS...........

vs that crappy / overrated SEC?
  *5-18 SU / 5-17-1 ATS,,,,,lately 2-11 SU / ATS

AND............................................

PAST results?....mean EVERYTHING
  *this game not so much.....OU takes Clemson maybe a little more seriously.......Clemson maybe comes into this one a little more confident........
most guys here say that because they are LAZY.....and / or don't know what to do with the info they DO have................ 

Joyeuses fêtes et bonne chance...............

HOWEVER........... I will issue a theirgonnakillem' myself
  *a 5 unit+ play for me

WHY?.....because it's an example of where PAST RESULTS are extremely important..........IMO
  *this is a very common (huge) mistake....to handicap games standing ALONE....in a 'vacuum' for you science guys

In the biggest of games.....where each team (should) be 100% focused....the effect of outside factors is minimized.....but for the rest...........it can be extremely important



Many are confused by Ole Miss.....they can beat / or lose to most anybody it seems....when key guys are out.... they will lose focus and maybe don't have the depth to overcome the injuries...
  *last year their season turned in ONE PLAY.....WR  (best player maybe) Treadwell broke his leg > fumbled going into score ....they lose to Auburn.....off a tough loss at LSU the week before + too many injuries......that was it wtf.........

They got it together... after losing to Ark by 30......to whip their rival Miss St 31-17 (+2').....their season was OVER
  *but wait.....it wasn't......to make it worse their bowl opponent was a team rested.....healthy...hungry.....AND pissed off........TCU

So the Rebels get destroyed.....leading many to conclude that Ole Miss sucks / TCU and Big12 are back!!!.....and awesomer than ever!.....< because all that past stuff don't mean nuthin' right?...

This year they again have a really strong / dangerous and yes flawed team......screwed up vs Florida and could not recover
  *my guess is a lack of strong leadership among the players.....their best players are still young guys and are maybe reluctant to assume that role.... 

NOW....mostly healthy with a lot to prove........vs an opponent in Okie St ......in a spot similar to Ole Miss in 2014.....talk of the town then 2 crushing losses to end their season.....they're DONE
  *but wait.....one more game to play.....................

I also like the fact OSU won their bowl last year in a huge way.....embarrassing a talented Washington team........>> less pressure this year......T Boone is happy

note :   Hugh Freeze COVERS games.....period
           COVERING 42 of his 61 games as a head coach (10-3 at Ark St)

You might notice another game I like a lot.....Oregon / TCU
  *fits within the same parameters.....Ducks are just getting started kinda sorta.....Frogs are beat to hell......and DONE

Patterson is too good a coach to say they'll get killed.....plus Oregon's D is just way too weak......but a terrible spot for TCU IMO.......also I like that this will be the final game (on American soil......  .....................for VTB.....Vernon the Baller
  *no doubt at this point one of the nation's best players....

Boykin with a future in the NFL.....he will be very good here sure...but I'm guessing his focus will be to not get hurt...... 


BTW....I'm not EMOTIONALLY invested in EITHER....and HOPE that most here disagree...........
 *I'll put in the work.....not bet more than I can afford to lose....and will not PLAY or COACH in either game.

  one of my larger plays last year was WKU.....I thought that  (nasty moose).....  was funny as helll

Awesome work guys and I thank you GL this season extra XMAS money 

thanks Bookie for all you do, a must read before I put anything down.

thanks BA.   I like Ole Miss a lot for the reasons you cite.  I also like Boise and Washington...I think these two will be ready for bowl season and both have favorable matchups...

As far as Boise goes, I have a hard time trusting them after watching them 4 or 5 times this year. Washington is a great play I feel.

Bcboyz...         thanks man BOL.........

boomersooner18.....hopefully I'm wrong and OU wins...Bama / OU a more compelling match-up?... than Bama / Clemson (or MSU / Clemson < no shocker to me at all).....kinda funny the more resistance I get for pointing out flaws in the OU resume (a ton)....the more I push for Clemson (just a lean really).......

LonghornHoosier......Boise and Washington should work....working on that UW / SMiss match-up now (a few unfavorable areas for UW)...but looks like Huskies should be able to RUN...and stop whatever S Miss tries to do...pull away late
  *PAINFUL.....but better pull for Aggies....Sumlin get's fired BEFORE Charlie......THEY get Herman.........

Urbanwildlife......Boise at 3 much better you bet / Huskies a dangerous road dog for sure....could happen sure...but seems unlikely Broncos simply continue to slide / don't bounce back......

Kick behind record you have there buddy I always read your thoughts and I appreciate them. 

Great reads BA! LOOK forward to your game previews.

Love the Ducks as well; GL Bookie.
