GL GD today

M-OH +6

12-9

LSU +1

12-10

GASO -10

I placed the bet in at 3AM this morning (GASO -8.5, and GASO -5.5 1H) but it was too early to post. I did not think it would shoot up to 10. Who is playing QB for APP St? APP St did not know they would be playing in a bowl until late opt out by many teams. Heck, more than half of the team is not playing this game. This is just a fun trip before new year for them. In my opinion, they should not even be accepting the invitation.

13-10

Independent bowl: lots of opt out, lots of unknowns for Coastal Carolina. But 10.5 points looks enticing. I will check out the players report then decide if I still want to back CC in the morning.

good luck -- game kind of reminds me of yesterday's game and expecting a similar result here ....

Coastal Carolina +10

LIVE Music City Bowl OVER 61

TCU +5

2H Illinois ML +135

TCU +3 2H LARGE

Today, two SEC teams are in action—and both are favored to win.

A few things to be cautious about taking Vanderbilt:

– Line movement

– Their starting TE is opting out

– SEC teams have struggled in non–playoff bowl games

That said, I’m still taking Vanderbilt -3.
