Vanzack bowl games picks thread.....

Van- what happened with LSU?  Thought you were on them large when the lines were released.

Im picking every game in order....

LSU comes later - but I am on them big.

This is the first 14 or so so far  in order...

 

BOL 

Vanzack

Iam not a huge follower of NCAAF but I have noticed over the years that a team that knows the coach is leaving for a bigger better school tends to lose.  They feel betrayed because the same guy that recruited them talking long term plans ends up leaving.

Any games fall into this?

Thoughts?

Van, looks good to me.  On several of these, too.  GL

Dont have stats on this - but would be curious to hear some numbers...

1.  Fresno -2.5 (.5 units) No Play

2.  UCF +2.5 (.5 units) Agree

3.  BYU +2.5 (1.5 units) No Play

4.  Utah +3 (2 units) Agree

5.  SMU +15.5 (.5 units) No Play

6.  Marshall +2.5 (1 unit) No Play

7.  UNC +3 (4 units) No Play

8.  BC +9 (1 unit) Agree

9.  Kentucky +7.5 (3 units) No Play

10.  Georgia -7 (1 unit) Agree

11.  Miami -3 (5 units) Agree

No love for S.Miss vs. M.Tenn.St.?

I did forget to list that one...

Probably because I cant pick a winner in this one with a gun to my head -

But I will throw out SMiss -3.5 (.5 unit)

Let's start this off right! 

the opposite of this is true sometimes also.  reference WVU vs. Oklahoma a couple of years ago when Dick Rod left for Michigan.  WVU also lost their last game to Pitt as 28 point favorites and would've been playing for the national championship had they won.  the team used Dick Rod's leaving as extra motivation and played one of their best games of the year.  i see a very similar situation with Cincy/Florida..........

Fresno team total over 32.5. 

I would rethink this: when michigan state lost Nick Saban, they went to the citrus bowl (in florida) and beat the gators.  Michigan wolverines did the same to florida when Lloyd carr had left. West Virginia was impressive in their bowl game when rich rod left.

With that said, I think Florida beats Cincy by 30 points.  I can see Florida scoring on every possession.  I don't see Cincy doing the same against that Florida defense.

I may have 5k on that game depending on my bank roll for the rest of this month.

Disclaimer: I had my first losing season betting football (down about 30k) so I wouldn't put a lot of weight on my opinion this year.

GL ALL

When is the MWC going to get some respect?

The system is built to not give them respect.

BYU, Utah, and TCU can play with anybody.

Its too bad we dont have a sport in college football - we have a beauty pageant.

5 units on miami and lsu ?    can u tell me how much per u bet per unit vanzack... i think imma tail you on both.

You must love your lines on SMU & BC now...Early bird caught that worm

Happy Holiday's Van

Just lucky....

Some are more important than others though - Miami at -3, I got a lot of LSU at +3, and UNC at +3....

I only bet in Equatorial Guinea Communaute Financiere Africaine Francs.

1 unit = 10,000,000 CFAF's.

Kentucky line at +7.5 is a big one too....
