Great to see you capping the bowls ul lafkid. Always look forward to your insight on the games. I've been getting beat up capping both the nfl & the early bowls. Hopefully the worm begins to turn.

Knowing you are on the Falcons gives me hope here.

GL and have a Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas Colonel Jim... how ya been? 

I am on Air Force as well for one unit.  Support the troops!

I doubt Nesbitt will play. No one from Tech that I know expects it

Cmon man- are you serious?

 GA Tech lost to ever good team they played except UNC.  They lost to KANSAS and a 6-6 UGA team.  They lost to Miami and Clemson, teams that are clearly mediocre.  They got destroyed by NC State.

All other wins other than UNC came against cupcakes, Wake Forest, Duke, MTSU, SCSU (South Carolina State) and Virginia. 

Do your research or don't post

Sports is all about discipline & execution.  We all should know by now about both teams abilities & tendencies.  I think the Air Force will get the job done.

Air Force -2.5 & over 56

Irish great take on this one, and as usual I agree. I see the same thing based on the stats & schedule. In addition Techs QB's have a below 50% completion percentage, so if they have to start throwing they make struggle. Tech may have a slight edge in total pysical makeup but that smarts aspect is not to be under estimated. AF have been a Jeckel & Hyde for me when betting. Tech not having a good year and only shows up every few weeks. AIR FORCE -2.5

Good Luck & Happy Holidays!

If I'm not mistaken I think GT has some players that will be out for the first half of this game due to being late to a meeting so definitely not playing the first half of this one but those key defensive players should be real fresh in the second half of this game.

This is basically the triple option bowl. Both teams should be able to defend the triple option so it should not be a factor in this game. As always in games involving military teams I tend to look at the size difference. Military teams still need to stay within military standards as far as weight so of course the other team is normally bigger. GT's leading rusher Anthony Allen is a big boy and will probably need several Air Force defenders to bring him down. I like the way Allen keeps his feet moving while being tackled to get those extra yards.

Still tough game to cap but leaning on GT on the final.

We are on opposite sides on this one bro but good luck

 probably the smarter play but the degenerate in me knows the games are winding down and season is almost over until another few months....gotta play while i can

uhmmm, no angles? HOW ABOUT THIS ONE:

EVERYONE on covers is on Air Force... LOL.   Paul Johnson and GTECH cover, regardless if Nesbit plays.

Air Force can not stop the run.  Someone stated how hard it is to get into the airforce and when the going gets tough they are mature blah blah blah. this is football, not a test.

GTECH has the speed and ATHLETES.

gtech alltheway.
