  • Bowls Fri-Sun incl/major play

    CFB YTD 32-27 +2.2 units
    Bowls 1-1 +1.9 units
    4* 0-1 -4.4 units
    3* 1-1 -0.3 units
    2* 8-4 +7.2 units
    1* 23-21 -0.3 units

    CFB/NFL Combined 54-53 -7.25 units
    4* 0-1 -4.4 units
    3* 1-1 -0.3 units
    2* 11-8 +2.0 units
    1* 42-42 -4.65 units

    I won a big 3* Wednesday on Notre Dame as one of my most importnant bowl criteria worked---play the better coach. Charlie Weis vs. Gregg McMakin was one for the ages but there are two more this weekend.

    Friday:

    1* Florida Atlantic +7
    First off, I am prepared to go against the MAC the entire bowl season. This was a down year for the league yet somehow the MAC got a bunch of bowl bids. Central Michigan scores a lot but has no defense. Howard Schnellenberger won a national championship and has been succesful everywhere he has been. Give him four weeks to prepare against the CMich coach who is winning with Brian Kelly's players---no contest.

    Saturday:

    3* North Carolina +1 1/2
    This is the most staggering coaching mismatch of all---Butch Davis going against the befuddled Bill Stewart. North Carolina made major strides this year while WV underperformed and is not happy to be stuck in a nothing bowl. NC won numerous close games this year and is battle-tested. The game being in Charlotte helps. The lone worry is whether WV's strong run game can overpower NC. I look for Davis to put seven in the box and force Pat White to throw. Imagine Bill Stewart trying to counter that.....

    NOTE: I posted the NC play earlier as a 1* when the line was "pick." The above play is an upgrade. I'll rate it in my record as a 1* at pick and 2* at +1 1/2.

    Sunday:
    Opinion only:
    Louisiana Tech (as I stated, keep going against the MAC)

    NFL:

    I'll write these up later but am betting them now at the lines listed:

    3* Texans -2 1/2 (-115)
    3* 49ers -2 1/2 (-120)
    1* Jets -2 1/2
    1* Bengals -2 1/2 (-115)

    Gris best of luck with the plays. I am on FAU also. Funny you say that about the MAC. About a month ago on a Saturday I posted 7 or 8 plays and went something like 4-4 or 3-4 or 4-3, dont recall exactly. Anyway, I got up here the next day and trashed the MAC because I won all the non MAC selections and lost all the MAC picks. Even think I said something to the effect that I would be betting against them in the bowls. I also love your coaching theory and like you, was one of the reasons I went with ND yesterday. Havent made up my mind on the UNC game yet, but Butch is a top notch coach imo and sometimes Bill Stewart looks like a deer in the headlights out there. Just that when WV brings their A game offensively, they can be tough to stop. Ah, enough rambling in your thread. Good luck with the games and happy holidays.

                              I unfortunately bet NC too early and lost one unit at pick em and won two units at the +1 1/2. So my record will reflect a gain of only 0.9 on the pick, not 3.0.

                              This is exactly how I bet it, and posted it, and that's why I'll rate it that way.

                              I'm normally good at judging which way the line will move and I was wrong this time as WV took all the action.

                              The lines have moved in my favor in several other games so I'll continue to post when I bet.
