  • NFL Monday/CFB Wednesday

    NFL YTD 22-26 -9.55 units
    2* 3-5 -5.2 units
    1* 19-21 -4.35 units

    I was 2-2 yesterday, winning with the Seahawks and Titans and losing with the Bucs and Chiefs. Tonight's play is my strongest so far of the NFL season, a season that needs a massive turnaround.

    3* Bears -3 (-130)
    Weird as it seems, Green Bay has played badly in cold weather for a year and a half. The frigid conditions should help the Bears as Green Bay simply can't stop the run. The Packers are worn down by a series of close defeats and may be ready to toss in the towel. The Bears have extra motivation because of Minnesota's loss yesterday. I posted this play Sunday and made a double point buy as I strongly expect the line to go up before game time and I may try to hedge back for a middle if the line gets to -5. In a game like this, points mean a lot and I would do the buydown (although many disagree with this tactic).

    CFB YTD 31-27 -0.7 units
    Bowls 0-1 -0.1 units
    4* 0-1 -4.4 units
    3* 0-1 -3.3 units
    2* 8-4 +7.2 units
    1* 23-21 -0.3 units

    I lost my only bowl play so far on BYU.

    Wednesday:
    The following play was posted last week at the line I obtained at the time. It has since moved two full points but I still consider this a very strong play.

    3* Notre Dame +1
    This is one of the most bogus lines I've ever seen (even with the movement to ND being favored). Yeah, I know the Irish went only 6-6 and their offense was anemic. But the talent differential here is staggering. Hawaii hasn't beaten a decent team all year and was an also ran in an inferior conference. They're worse than Fresno, Nevada and Louisiana Tech and all of those teams are weak. Notre Dame has a lot to prove here and won't treat this game as a vacation. Charlie Weis' credibility as a coach is on the line. I think all of this points to a supreme effort by a fairly decent team against a lousy opponent that is happy just to have made a bowl and would probably be done for the year if this game wasn't played in Honolulu.

    Previously posted:

    1* North Carolina pk
    1* Vanderbilt +4
    3* Penn State +10 (my favorite play of the bowls)
    1* Mississippi +5 1/2
    1* UConn -4
    2* Ohio State +10
    2* Tulsa +3

    Good luck Gris on both call, like em both. I agree with you 100% on the Notre Dame game. Weis' head has been on the chopping block all year. It has died down a little after the Notre Dame AD decided to bring him back another year. He has had 4 weeks to prepare his team to beat an inferior opponent. If they go in there and lose everyone will come out of the woodwork again and be calling for the head of both Weis and the AD. After losing 7 or 8 bowl games in a row ND needs this one bad. I think this is almost a must win for Notre Dame.

    Besides I read one of the reasons why Weis wanted to accept the bid to Hawaii was he wanted to use it as a recruiting trip. One of the top high school players, a kid named Manti Te'o, is a 6'2" 225 linebacker from Honolulu. He is going to be a guest of Notre Dame at the game. Obviously a loss would greatly hurt their chances of signing this kid. I think Notre Dame will run up the score if they get half a chance. I don't htink this is even close. Good luck.

                Excellent call on ND Gris. You nailed this one. It unfolded just exactly like I thought it would. Keep up the good work.

                  I don't intend to crow here because I know others had big plays on Hawaii but between having the sense to buy my big Bears play down to 3 (resulting in a totally lucky push) and being dead on about the insanity of Notre Dame not being a big favorite over a very bad team.......this has been a good Christmas week.
