iovekim: Good job on the pick but I think it's really stupid to buy a point.
That $540 you are risking could win you $470 but instead you are litterally giving up that extra $70 for an insurance that if Utah loses by 4, you push. Insurance is bad bad bad 
You are paging KVEGAS to brag about your pick when in fact you are truly a moron.
Think of it in perspective:
Utah wins or loses by less than 4, you are winning $470.
But then you are giving away $70 (7.7% of your risk amount) to protect that $540 in case they lose by 4.
This means that one game in 13 would have to end by Team A winning by EXACTLY 4 for your point-buying to make sense.
Now if I was to make a bet in Vegas that Cal wins by EXACTLY 4 points, how much do you think they are offering me on my money? Most definately more than 13-to-1 odds, and this of course means the odds are much worst than 13-to-1.
If you were buying points into key numbers I would understand, but in college 4 is much less of a key number than in the NFL.
Merry Christmas Eve guys... I hope everyone is enjoying their time spent with family and friends. With that, lets move on to...
THE HAWAII BOWL
PICK 1) NEVADA -10 (4 UNITS)
PICK 2) OVER 70 (2 UNITS)
Write Up:
With the recent result of bowl games (underdogs winning straight up) and all the media attention and publicity being placed on Nevada's missing players, I think a lot of people feel comfortable backing the underdog tonight.
From my understanding, here is what SMU backers are thinking:
Everyone knows Nevada is a running team that relies on rushing yards. BUT Nevada will be playing without both of their top two running backs. Without these guys, SMU should be able to cover. RIGHT?
Well my answer is: WRONG!!!!!
The reason why Nevada has had so much success is not becuase of Taua or Lippincott. Although they are both decent backs, Nevada's bread and butter running attack comes from their OFFENSIVE LINE. Regardless of who Nevada's back is tonight, Nevada's O-line will be pancake blocking SMU defenders left and right. I think this one will get ugly by the second half. This Nevada team put up 33 points against a Boise State team that held Oregon's offense to 8 points. Hope that tells you something. Nevada will score from beginning to end and I don't see SMU stopping them. SMU should score just enough to cover the over.
As always, GOOD LUCK COVERS!
