RECAP
TULANE .. They were the shoe in for the playoff and it wasn't much of a surprise they got some amazing calls like the free TD on the fumble etc .. but in terms of capping yeah Tulane at home getting +2 we felt pretty good about the situation .. NTEX in sortof a mania becuase they can beat alot of teams up but vs sliiiiightly better comp like SFLA at home .. tulane on the road .. we see the systems fall apart .. 5 TURNOVERS TO ZERO is a sure thing loser .. miraculously they were still in the game and can't take anything away from them because a couple small fixes and they'd have been a really dangerous G5 team heading to the playoffs .. as it is tho they'd get murdered by Ole Miss just as Tulane did earlier in the season ..
TTECH / BYU .. expected a very slow game from ttech usnig their QB at a min .. very risky situation with the backup being true fr basically off the bench .. and we relied on our .. maybe but very realistically possibly .. best pass rush and best run D in all of CFB to keep BYU at bay and despite a few passes that got thru TTECH D got us a win .. hit TTECH in game -6.5 after BYU had that nice early drive .. note to cappers .. lotta big games we see the dog have a nice script to open up .. maybe even 2 .. you gotta know that very often this big early mojo fades out and not get fooled by this naturally occurring phenomenan ..
D.JOHNSON .. sheesh-louish .. guy ended up with I think 5 rec for 60 or so yds .. and he became the go-to receiver that game .. need 2 xp throw that fade to him .. country introduced to MR 6'8 REDWOOD DUDE .. will be tracking where he goes next year for sure .. anyway .. I feel like JVILL got jammed up very often on offense and woulda been great to hit alot of the props .. they shoulda gone yard to DJ instead of have him run traditional 5-15 yd routes which was pretty much what we got from him .. and you got a dude like Cook leading CFB in rushing .. a QB that's ok throwing but can really run .. and 6'8 DJ MOSS .. like how in the world were they getting stiffled at every turn .. pathetic .. bad coaching bad OC'ing all the way .. fire em ..

RECAP CONT'D ..
UVA .. pathetic showing .. and here I was thinking UVA would get the calls not reallllly understanding that in the background if UVA loses they'll pull a swap-a-roo to get Miami in .. I thought about the situation and figured the committee had in-deed made their decision on ND / Miami .. ALAS .. shoulda considered that a P4 conference with 18 or so teams commands alot of respect and while ND is a bigger brand than any ACC team you can imagine the problems the ACC can cause the committee should they get completely left out .. and I think we didn't get any ref help .. in fact .. that roughing the passer in OT which was soooo ticky tack set UVA back to start the drive in a very tough spot .. almost wonder if the refs were keying on them to throw a flag as by that time it coulda been known what the Miami contengency was .. I gave wayyy too much credit to the committee and shoulda relied on my read that this is a real (luke) fickle bunch and not put it past them to ensure they'd take Miami with that whole rankings gambit they had .. feel pretty comfortable saying that if UVA won then they'd stick to their guns and let ND in .. the pathetic creatures we have to cap around .. love to see them and their crappy rankings vanish ..
UNLV .. total no show dud .. didn't count on Boise having that QB back .. when it was announced couldn't believe he would be playing at the level he was playing on .. and couldn't believe UNLV showed up looking like that .. the weather said it was like 43 degrees in boise .. idk how it was that they were just suuuuch a fish outta water in that gm .. pathetic ..
BAMA .. My read was Kirby being up late in this one will allow Bama to equalize .. it realllly seemed like they were trying not to score that last TD and doing all they could with prevent D to let bama come down the field late .. like 3 lineman prevent just run for 2 yds for a first down .. Deboer kept passing and losing .. even at the end .. 2 runs up the gut .. gun stock just gives em a free sack .. another run up the gut we know is coming .. 15 yds for a first down .. kneel down handshake time .. universe conspiring to help bama just keep it close and they couldn't do it .. word to the wise here .. BAMA SUCKS BIGGER DONKY D!CK than the final score showed .. UGA coulda run it wayyyy up on em if they wanted to ..

BOWLS
Welp I hit all of these yesterday as they were coming out and boiii do those lines move quick .. hard to play fair with the records reporting these but I'll just say what I got and some notes and we'll see how it does ..
WAGER / WIN (IN UNITS)
ARMY +1.5 .55/.5
UCONN +2.5 .44 / .4
ARMY / UCONN OVER 48.5 .55/.5
ARMY / UCONN OVER 50.5 .44/.4
ARMY / UCONN UNDER 52.5 .33/.3
Had a chance to middle on this one with + points and 4 points on the total .. expecting over but we realllly don't know if all the Uconn guys are showing up .. would expect them to if the coach was still there .. might depend on number of seniors and such .. I lean over as their D stunk and if Joey Faggs is playing we have a dude that doesn't throw many picks and I expect Army in these spots to play a little more open with the offense unlike what we always get with ARMY / NAVY .. The academies always seem to show up ready to rock and wouldn't mind playing them for more if we get the sense UCONN and some of their key dudes aren't interested .. they are at Fenway and weather could be an issue for the total .. but also proximity to Uconn is maybe a + for them .. won't be a fish outta water playing there and maybe the kinda thing they rally around ..
DELAWARE +2.5 .33/.3
DELAWARE +3.5 .33/.3
I think Hens got a little lucky to get in the bowl game with ND and K-State both opting out .. Expect this to be a big deal for them 1st year in FBS work hard for bowl elig and land one .. I expect em to show up .. ULL is notorious for pulling NO SHOW JOBS in bowl games .. Billy's last game was the last game they showed up for .. Since then its 3 losses and a MAMMOTH LOSS last year to TCU and Jville's first bowl game before then Cocks with a big win .. They showed up vs Houston in '22 but lost by a TD in the end .. I fully expect Del to show up .. ULL maybe depends on whether LUNCH is showing up or xferring.. he's a dude and maybe only chance to win this one .. if he's out and/pr there's ill sentiment bigger bet on DEL unless they have some kinda mutiny on their hands or something really unexpected ..
HOUSTON ML .49/.4
HOUSTON +1.5 .22/.2
HOUSTON -3.5 .33/.3
Prob shoulda waited before laying the -3.5 but we hit the ML early and got +1.5 .. LSU was on my list of 'who cares' spots and expecting a possible major no show here .. the coaches are all gone so have to find someone to step in .. I would imagine Lane and his crew are real busy and only reason to be involved is for the practices and evaluating who they wanna keep and who to let go .. I can also imagine anyone they wanna keep won't be playing and this turns into a situation where the only guys playing are ones who want to boost their stock in the portal and some seniors .. I can't see this going well .. Game is playing in NRG Stadium in Houston .. I absolutely expect this to be a spot where Houston shows up and tries to TROUNCE this team in front of their home town .. Weigman at QB is a guy who just wants to play and a total leader .. 21/31 201 passing and 22 carries 121 vs Baylor in the finale @Baylor .. a game that ensured Bay Bay didn't make a bowl game you'd think they were trying .. yeah I could see this line spike further as we discover who LSU is / is not playing, very easily see this be Houston -7.5 by kickoff and a total romp ensues .. thats of course if things shake out as expected and this is bowl ssn so .. Maybe Wiggy doesn't even play .. who knows .. maybe Lane takes over and its a hard core max effort lol .. doubt it but .. its bowl ssn ..

JMU / OREGON UNDER 50.5 .9/.8
Might be over my skis here but I hit this one early on when it was a hypo line .. went to 49.5.. back to 50.5 when it was formalized .. idk I don't think JMU is doing much scoring in this one and what they get might be from really long n drawn out drives .. hallmark of the playoff and playoff teams in general .. DEFENSE IS BACK BABY .. we got pretty low n slow action outta most early games last year sans maybe Tex and Clem and Oregon's D is extra nasty .. but JMU's is also very credible esp up front the run D can play and they have some legit players in the secondary .. I expect Oregon to rely on their VERY GOOD OL and just try to run the ball here .. do what they have an edge .. don't let the QB get hit much .. basically you saw what PSU did last year and we saw Bama do this vs Cincy .. play it safe with the run game where they have an edge .. and really makes sense with the home field to make JMU a fish outta water and just out play the Dukes in the trenches .. take em into the deep end and drown em .. if they do it should be an easy win maybe 35-7 or so .. dick around with higher risk pass plays and might be kicking themselves .. we've also seen JMU's offense struggle in a few spots .. last week for one .. struggle all the way vs Wash State .. GA State!!! .. Louisville .. just tooo many spots to say they won't really have a tough time here .. not taking the side yet .. I think 21 sounds right but if JMU is held under 10 this could be an easy cover if they can't stop the ducks on the ground .. I'd also say if yer Oregon .. don't show off yer best stuff here .. got a real game on deck vs a verrrrrry good TTECH D .. break out the goods vs them that bunch is naaaaassstaaaayyyy..
LA TECH -6.5 .75/.68
Max hit under a TD at FAN when it came out .. I can't say La Tech is even good but recall they have a team that signed up last year to get slaughtered by Army when Marshall dropped out .. can at least say this is a team and a program that wants to play in the post ssn and besides last year it had really been a while .. pretty solid year with 7 wins and this game is played once again in .... SHRIEVEPORT LA .. just like last year I expect them to show up and put up some effort and fight .. they lost big vs Army but they did fight and show up esp on D .. Coastal is on my list of POTENTIAL DISASTERS .. Coach fired and rightfully so nothing's really going quite right for them since he was hired .. they were in realllllly bad shape for last years bowl and got totally slaughtred by UTSA .. the ONE BIG THING to look for on them is whether JUCO NATTY DUDE Samari Collier gets healthy and shows up ready to rock .. I could see it .. kindof a one man band and wildcard that could potentially give Coastal a shot here .. I could also see him just still be injured or hit the portal in which case I think its major trouble for this team .. maybe other good thing for Coastal is former La Tech DC Jer Johnson is the interim HC .. he at least did get La Tech's D ready to play last year albeit short handed .. he never had 'the dudes' this year though and I think its likely big trouble for Coastal this bowl ssn .. that said JJ is obvi auditoning for possible HC role .. if Coastal hires someone else I'd say count on dude to maybe have his attn turned somewhere besides helping a helpless hapless team do well in their bowl gm .. either way I like La Tech showing up here and very very big red flags all over for Coastal in this one .. def looking to play for more if we see certain leaves start falling in the tea as we get closer to this gm ..

MICHIGAN / TEXAS UNDER 47.5 .33/.3
Nothing much to say here .. I wonder if Texas cares at all about this game or Michigan .. maybe both do .. feels like I'm sorta expecting offense to be tricky for Michigan with their best RB's out vs OSU and maybe we see Texas' D put up some effort .. maybe Arch goes HAM here .. idk just felt like maybe one or both offenses don't show up ..
MINNESOTA -3 .31/.3
MINNESOTA -2.5 .21/.2
Was realllly hoping we'd get New Mexico vs some hapless brain dead bowl team .. that is a team that went on a journey this year and no doubt has some unfinished business to attend to .. But they draw Minny with just the most PRISTINE bowl records of any team in the field .. 7-0 SU .. 6-1 ATS .. ATS Win Margin is +12 .. the one ATS loss was to Cuse in '22 and both teams showed up for it .. Minny really likes those bowl games and can't bet it biiiig here but yeah I'll take something even vs a NM team I fully expect to show up .. All that said we def should see NM backers drive this line as they are a pretty obvious 'show up for a bowl' team .. NM hasn't made a bowl since 2016 .. lost to UTSA in that one .. well before the RR's were good btw .. they prob coulda made one last year but didn't even try to beat Hawaii in the finale and took a vacation in the notorious 'vacation bowl' spot .. Bronco and VAN-DAM-Pierre and others on a shocking LOBO cast prob knew they'd be hitting the portal and team pulled a no show and missed the bowl .. this year they once again had a season win total of like 1.5 and that culminated in the BIG SDSU HOME WIN .. took some rigged up CPU rankings to keep them out .. I'd file this as an obvious case of 'unifinished business' .. and double so because they missed the bowl last yr .. and quadruple so because of how long its been since NM went bowling .. NM lost to AZ in 2015 .. you gotta go back to 2007 to find an NM bowl win!!!! .. Beat Nevada 23-Zip in the New Mexico Bowl .. They have only a handful of other appearances and 2 other bowl wins in their HISTORY .. 1961 Aviation Bowl over W.Mich .. 1946 SUN Bowl 34-24 over Denver .. and one tie the 1947 Harbor Bowl 13-13 vs Montana State .. I mean holy smokes this bowl and a win should mean a WHOLE LOT to this NM team .. Sadly I do respect Minny as a well known bowl winner and coverrerrrer so took a few bucks early on them .. Line is -3.5 now I have no interest playing over a FG here and would in-deed kinda love to find a way to middle this one and root for the LOBOS cuz win or lose THEY COMMIN ..... I think .. check their portal first tho .. lol

NAVY ML .4/.63
NAVY / CINCINNATI +4.5 1.81/1.68
NAVY / CINCINNATI +5.5 .66/.6
So yeah I like Navy in this one .. We were one of the few who gave Cincy a shot this year we liked the team as a 3 phase turnaround potentially and they showed their stuff nearly wading thru the B12 schedule and making the champ game .. 60-1 ticket unfortunately died before we reallllly had a chance to hedge it out .. bummer .. Anyway I did not expect them to show up in their finale @TCU after losing at home to BYU .. a game dubbed by me as 'the totally deflated bowl' and I think the writings been on the wall in terms of their prospects for really showing up to any bowl game .. but tack on one vs Navy instead of some big fun Vandy squad .. tack on some more 'no thanks' to that .. but even more so .. they have to wait around nearly a month off and play Navy in Memphis on Jan 2nd .. the day the portal opens .. idk about you but if yer leaving you aint playing in that one .. and I could imagine some NFL prospects skip out on that too .. and anyone injured shouldn't be in much of a rush to hurry back for it .. great team but its just such a nasty spot with the draw vs Navy and the timing and the way the season ended .. On the flip side we love the service academies in the bowl games .. always show up no portal junk in the way to worry about ... its such a great marketing opp not just for the Naval Academy but the service branch as a whole .. but also a way for the current and veterans to be engaged and stick out and show some pride .. esp when Navy or Army or Air Force is takin down a BIG SCALP in the bowl games like the way Navy did last year .. Horvath's 90+ yd run was one of the greatest highlights of the season .. I believe this will be his last game and yeah best believe Navy is showing up to this one .. if Cincy shows up fully engaged maybe the line should be Navy +4.5 or so but this feels like big trouble all the way .. would take any free points and if the signs start pointing badly in the lead up for Cincy I think this line might close Navy -4.5 and could see even that not being nearly enough .. hint hint .. wait and see for now but might blast this again if this is hangin at +1 or a pick'em and we start seeing Cincy guys moving on n out in droves .. good luck ..
NAVY ML .4/.63
NAVY / CINCINNATI +4.5 1.81/1.68
NAVY / CINCINNATI +5.5 .66/.6
So yeah I like Navy in this one .. We were one of the few who gave Cincy a shot this year we liked the team as a 3 phase turnaround potentially and they showed their stuff nearly wading thru the B12 schedule and making the champ game .. 60-1 ticket unfortunately died before we reallllly had a chance to hedge it out .. bummer .. Anyway I did not expect them to show up in their finale @TCU after losing at home to BYU .. a game dubbed by me as 'the totally deflated bowl' and I think the writings been on the wall in terms of their prospects for really showing up to any bowl game .. but tack on one vs Navy instead of some big fun Vandy squad .. tack on some more 'no thanks' to that .. but even more so .. they have to wait around nearly a month off and play Navy in Memphis on Jan 2nd .. the day the portal opens .. idk about you but if yer leaving you aint playing in that one .. and I could imagine some NFL prospects skip out on that too .. and anyone injured shouldn't be in much of a rush to hurry back for it .. great team but its just such a nasty spot with the draw vs Navy and the timing and the way the season ended .. On the flip side we love the service academies in the bowl games .. always show up no portal junk in the way to worry about ... its such a great marketing opp not just for the Naval Academy but the service branch as a whole .. but also a way for the current and veterans to be engaged and stick out and show some pride .. esp when Navy or Army or Air Force is takin down a BIG SCALP in the bowl games like the way Navy did last year ..

NC STATE -1.5 .33/.3
Didn't realize the line would go off like that .. but did recognize that Memphis maybe in one of those terrible spots for a bowl this year and was worth betting NC State who may not be a great team .. and a routine bowl offender .. at current lines I'd be a little careful ..
OHIO +4.5 .66/.6
I know the HC has something going on with him .. placed on leave .. very hushy shushy stuff .. welp ok but we also know that THE BOBS are a well known Bowl Shower Upperrer and both a routine winner and ATS Coverrer .. and some of these have come when you least expect it outta this team .. UNLV feels like a portal heavy bunch of goobers who'd show up to a conf champ game just for the free lunches and not much else .. maybe show up to the bowl game just for the goodie bags .. a critical piece for Ohio is the QB obviously and Collandria for UNLV .. but really like the Ohio guy and the team shows up I think UNLV will need to be on their game in a big way or its trouble for them .. bigger bet possible as we get closer .. hoping Ohio coach sitch doesn't cause us probs .. some things to monitor w this one for sure ..
PSU / CLEM UNDER 48.5 .33/.3
Bowl committee being funny with this matchup .. This coulda been the NATTY CHAMP GAME projection in the pre-ssn .. instead its battle for whose power rating dropped the most this year .. Clemson's OL stinks bad .. real bad .. PSU's offense is heavy heavy run oriented .. and I do see Clem as more of a Band of Brothers and one that tends to show up in a bad year in a bowl game .. thus I hope the solid dudes on the DL show up here as well .. think it is at least a matchup worth showing up for .. like under for a pittance and no thought on the sides just yet ..
SOUTH DAKOTA +7.5 .25/.23
Duck special here .. he noted this was up at B365 and we took a little hit on it .. GO YOTES .. Apparently Yotes are playing great and taking a TD is worth looking at .. not my pick but I'm playin it ..
TEXAS A&M -3.5 .44/.4
Remember how bad the road teams did last year .. waiting around a month then showing up to a RAUCOUS Playoff crowd and getting their heads taken off?.. welp .. I think TAMU with best OL .. great run game .. very strong couple of WR's .. and a DL with a PRESSURE DUDE off the edge that can rival what Miami has with BAIN .. I see why the line is thin esp with TAMU trailing off late in the year but BIG comeback vs SCAR is .. in my view .. a positive sign that they can snap out of a trouble spot and comeback for a big win .. very tough spot vs Texas thats clearly improved at this pt and MAX EFFORT in Austin for the big rivalry .. TAMU was off their game early and at least its a quality loss IMO .. Think TAMU's odds around 17-1 are actually not bad right now for the NATTY but yeah tough path .. just does feel like the spot for these first rounds going on the road late in December makes it very very tough for the road team ..

UTAH -14 .88/.8
Marked Nebraska during Bowl Prep as possibly in real trouble for the bowl game .. Hoping the Utes show up .. they're oft in the bigger game but they haven't closed the deal winning many of these esp in recent years .. If Utes show up here I think its a real tall order for the Huskers to keep up .. HORRIFIC run defense all year .. lost QB .. the MAJOR DUDE RB .. Emmett or whatever his name is declared for the NFL right away .. can't imagine he wants to mess around in this gm .. Huskers got ALOT on their plate this off ssn and this game IMO doesn't fit into their turnaround / comeback plans ..
UTSA -8.5 .33/.3
Road Runners aren't well known for their Bowl Prowess but playing in Texas and I think they'll show up for a last hurrah against a very hit and miss FIU team .. Note FIU is one of those 'haven't made a bowl in forever' teams and this might be a big deal for em .. can't pound this play .. yet .. if FIU is not all into this game tho this feels like trouble for them .. and wouldn't surprise me if they had alot of guys xferring out and others who aren't totally endeared to the team and dying to play in this gm ..
VANDY ML/O46.5 .4/.74
Took right away as Vandy line was getting pummeled .. Iowa is a well known show up to a bowl team and they can run the ball .. but you can also bet yer bottom dollar that Diego & Co are showing up here too and I like their prospects to do what they do .. ML/Over parlays was 1.85-1 not GREAT odds but think we have an edge on both the ML and the total where it was .. you can still get similar odds but with the higher total .. I like where I got mine personally ..
WASHINGTON -7.5 .31/.3
This is a GREAT NORTHWEST Matchup and we've seen them in bowl games before .. I like Wash to be building up for a big year next year and we've oft seen these teams take that MOJO into the bowl games in the past .. springboard into the next year .. and Wash had a great comeback last yr vs Ville .. Demon Williams is a major dude's dude .. Boise is just off their champ game and clearly Mad Dog Maddox is back at QB and playing decently well .. This bowl game is played THIS SATURDAY and it creates such an interesting spot I think for Boise because it really adds another BIG GAME to a string of BIG GAMES they've played and one they werent expecting to add .. so no time off after their big win to celebrate .. but in reality I think they are def celebrating this week and will enjoy their trip to LA .. and maaan I could see the spot making this trouble for them .. if Wash shows up flat they might be in trouble too but bigger stronger team has some room to be iffy .. Boise gotta be MAX .. could just roll right into it .. but idk lol we'll see ..

TARLETON STATE -8.5 .55/.5
Another Duck special with the FCS plays .. best line out there and seems like under 10 is worth a play .. Nova had a miracle win vs Lafayette last week in a game they were completely dominated in and got very lucky with turnovers in their own red zone .. barely eeked out the win .. Reports are that TARL at home is a solid bunch and not expecting them to suffer from FULL RETARD SYNDROME after putting excellent drives together .. that's just what the reports say not my words .. GOOD LUCK!

PAVIA .. I'm hedged for something but man o man not quite where I'd like to be after that MASSIVE ODDS MOVE from that big Indy win huh .. it was a heisman moment for sure for Mendoza to hit that huge pass the way it happened .. ODDS SPIKED he was -6000 and Diego I think was like 50-1 right after .. welp .. I'd imagine sportsbooks with TONS of pavia tickets were happy to offer cash outs for pennies or maybe penny n the dollar right after .. take yer $25 bucks you ain't winning the 5k or whatever .. and we suspected Pavia might still have more life than the books PSYOP was posturing .. Our Cat clearly has 9 lives and hope he had one in the chamber .. we may not win the war when alls said and done but frankly odds been inching closer together ever since Mendoza's big first down throw and appears we still have a dog in this fight .. heisman season vs heisman polaroids .. the spectacle of Indy going 13-0 and winning the B1G GAME certainly sounds heisman worthy tho ..
OSU .. sure looked like a team that never faced any pressure situations all year .. they had some very seat of yer pants drives late to maybe tie up or equalize .. kicker misses an easy layup and Sayin clearly never did a QB sneak before .. quite a few little things they need to work on .. def give Indy their due ..
TTECH .. that D sure gives us a BIG CHIP in the BIG GAME here .. possibly the nastiest D Front in the country and its not just a trend of last year where D is the Key to win .. we just saw #1 vs #2 decided almost entirely by defense .. D is the Key .. Tech has a nasty one .. Hope the offense can rally in the big moments coming up .. GUNS UP!!

OU / INDY -7 .575/.5

Bama and OU are IMO the two VERY VERY weakest links in the playoff here and its not a surprise the committee would murder their integrity to a new low and keep Bama ranked where they were to pair these two duds up and ensure one of these jokers can advance to the semis .. Very easily coulda dropped Bama into playing TAMU and watch them get WRECKED .. and think Miami would have a fighting chance going to Norman with OU's offense being total dog sh!t ..
Indy's D will roll up Bama's offense into a ball and punt them out the stadium worse than UGA did .. and I think OU might not score any TD's .. got a good FG kicker maybe get a few points that way if they're lucky .. Indy to 'make the semi's' is -310 as it stands the lowest odds of anyone and these 'HYPO' lines don't jive with that reality .. these spreads imply the odds to be around -200 vs Bama and -250 for OU .. yeah idk guys .. I could maaaaaybe see OU's D mucking it up and keeping it semi close but recall this team had alot of trouble vs a down n out LSU team at home .. lost fair n square to Ole miss at home .. hangin their hats on beating Bama late in the year aint sayin much to me ..

ILLINOIS +5.5 .44/.4
Very disappointing year for these guys but I think we got a team that makes a point to show up for these bowl games and not always win or cover but when getting 5.5 the key word here is 'show up' .. There's something to wonder still about Tenn too .. fully expect Joey to play his last game however coach might put a prospect in half way thru and play a little 'next year practice' in this one .. Vols are losing some guys to the portal and nothing says problematic like boo carter hitting the portal before the season was done and here they are losing quite a few guys already .. no doubt they'll have some guys to play with but again we've seen them crater in playoff games and this game is very very far off from that .. very tbd as to who shows up and what they show up looking like .. just a sitch I can get on board with grabbing a few points .. I could see ILL as a team rally to this spot and try to go out winners as well .. - Good luck!!

Vols are losing some guys to the portal and nothing says problematic like boo carter hitting the portal before the season was done and here they are losing quite a few guys already .. no doubt they'll have some guys to play with but again we've seen them crater in playoff games and this game is very very far off from that .. very tbd as to who shows up and what they show up looking like .. just a sitch I can get on board with grabbing a few points .. I could see ILL as a team rally to this spot and try to go out winners as well .. - Good luck!!

HOUSTON -3 1.1/1
Put my notes in up above .. Bottom line .. Houston playing at NRG .. LSU in turmoil and I can't imagine Lane cares what happens here in a bowl game before his first season .. frankly you might as well make it look bad and make himself look all the better next year .. In-deed its not an easy bet to make but we've seen what happens when SEC teams collapse vs teams that wanna show up .. Florida vs Oreg State, anyone?! .. 30-3 in the LV bowl .. how about LSU right before Kelly showed up ?... 28-7 at Q3 .. ended 42-20 .. MAULED .. In-Deed I think Kelly did a good job of getting his teams to show up in bowl games and other spots we weren't sure if they'd show up or not .. But that was then .. this feels like a horrible situation and I'll take -3 for the home team w the bigger bet before we really get to see how the portal turns n churns these rosters around .. good luck!

WASH -9 .77/.7
Let's get a full unit on this one .. its such a massive turnaround spot for boise and off the big home win conf champs etc etc .. it will take alot to roll into LA travel time and bowl activities and think they'll be just ready to roll in this one ..
Seeing that Wash has confirmed their roster is ready to go with no opt outs on the team .. walters 'everyone healthy is ready to roll' ..
This is also a semi rivalry between these clubs and you know Boise would love to show up the big dog and compete against the big boy in the NW Territory .. But the timing is really quite tough here
I wouldn't look at Wash and think they might go easy on em here .. this is that sorta "program" level rivalry and while they haven't played a bunch of games Boise has beaten them a couple times I think ..
I had Wash as very much a 'next year' team coming into this year and I suspect they'll try to get the MOJO kickstarted early with a big boise win if they can .. they out man and out gun them in a big way already and I think have the spot advanrtage with the time off and full roster ready to go and more flex time to get those practices in .. not as much party time ..
Hate to lay this many in a bowl game but early on for this one I can take a stab .. good luck!

Sup uni .. hope all is good my man ..
Yeah hard to pick totals in these bowl games so many wild twists n turns .. changing the QBs .. going on 4th .. shenanigan plays .. if we knew these teams were showing up playin an honest game then sure can try to hit totals ...
I'd like to hit one like that Iowa State / Miami over last year that was in the bag in Q1 or so .. those are always fun!
Enjoy bowl season bud!

Bama does suck and has no business in the playoffs. No mention by committee that they LOST to Freaking bad Florida St. It was like that game result did not exist. Doubt they score a TD vs Oklahoma D. See them losing 13-3. No way they should be giving points
