It's bowl time bay-bee. You gotta love gambling. Im ready to run through a wall for this Northern Illinois - TCU game tonight.

3* Northern Illinois +13

TCU is on an absolute roll, easily one of the hottest teams in all of college football. I don't have any stats to back this up, but history tells me that these type teams are always backed by 70% of bettors, and rarely cover their bowl games. The layoff does strange things to teams. Also, TCU feels shafted about getting this bowl assignment, and again ... those teams never fare well ATS in bowls.

Northern Illinois on the other hand is happy to be here after getting the shaft last year, and not getting a bowl invite despite a winning record. This is a good team that underachieved this season, and will look to make a statement against the heavily favored Horned Frogs. Garrett Wolfe, after a great start, had a disappointing second half ... and I expect a big game from him tonight.

TCU 27 Northern Illinois 23

Huskies, lock em up ... 3* play ($60) to get this madness started.

by **jjgmyers** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 1:38 pm

Over 47 is a lock as well

by **jd jr** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 3:15 pm

the over 214 in phx tor game is the play of the day

by **yargs7** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 8:04 pm

That's compelling stuff Swerb...but I'm taking the Frogs.

TCU -13 ** (@ $30 per *)

Over is the play tonight

by **swerb** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 5:13 pm

I'm playing ...

3* BYU -4

Will try and provide a writeup before kick off.

by **yargs7** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 10:32 pm

1-0 (+2 units)

BYU/OREGON Over 63.5*

With no score late in the first, this looks like a horrible bet.

by **swerb** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 11:13 pm

There were ten dropped passes in the 1H alone.

I like John Beck as a pro prospect.

Lets go Cougars ...

by **yargs7** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 12:17 am

I don't know which is worse...Oregon's offense or their gold helmets. Maybe they should stop designing uniforms and start drawing up some ball-plays.

by **yargs7** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 7:55 pm

1-1 so far (+1 unit)

Troy +4**

Rice gives up nearly 200 yds per game on the ground.

by **swerb** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:05 pm

Im taking a pass on this thing tonight. I've been back and forth on it, Im just gonna sit on the sidelines. Slight lean towards Rice and my boy WR Jarrett Dillard tonight, but no play.

Good thing I took a pass on that thing last night, that was ugly for Rice. Nice hit Yargs.

Like all three favorites today.

2-1 (+3*)

I'm with you on 2 out of three today Swerb.

So Fla -5***
SJSU +3*
Utah -1.5***

by **swerb** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:51 am

SJSU has been a cover machine this year. However, 1st bowl in a long time, those teams traditionally get a little swept up in it all and perform poorly ATS ... may be a little happy to be here.

Home game for NM, and they've played in this bowl before, should be much more comfortable.

Line opened at NM -6, and the public has pounded the shit out of SJSU.

Should be interesting ...

by **jjgmyers** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 1:30 pm

You can never underestimate the Skip Holtz factor.

E. Carolina +5.5 in a very close game

by **swerb** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 1:45 pm

ECU was the best bet in all of college football this year.

10-2 ATS this season.

South Floridas the better team though, and coming off a really impressive win at West Virginia. ECU got smoked in their own crib by West V.

So Fla - their only losses this year were legit. At Louisville, at Cincy, and vs Rutgers and at Kansas early in the season in games they really shoulda won.

by **Guest** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 2:20 pm

The Skip Holtz factor?

7-1 on the bowl season (+$387).

jjg, I suck at pros man. I can't pick my nose when it comes to pro football. I'm just gonna chill and wait until the bowl games pick up again. Hopefully I can ride this hot streak out for one more week.

by **swerb** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 5:25 pm

Taking a pass on this gutter trash game tonight ...

by **yargs7** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 5:52 pm

I don't like to keep taking all these favorites but I think this CMU team is pretty solid. From what I have read they are extremely motivated to play in this game. I don't know much about MTSU except they are a mediocre team from a dogshit conference.

Central Mich -7.5**

by **yargs7** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 8:17 pm

8-1 (+$447)

Small play on the Noles tonight. The only thing worse than the FSU offense in this game? UCLA's offense.

Under 39.5***
FSU +3.5*

by **swerb** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 10:18 pm

4* Florida State +3.5

by **yargs7** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 11:51 pm

I stepped right in a bear trap tonight. This game is almost over the total of 39.5 at HALF! Florida State and Miami always bone me. You never know what you are going to get with these two sorry ass teams.

by **jjgmyers** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 9:42 am

Under was a sucker but you still called FSU. Keep it up Yargs. If I wasn't such a degenerate loser betting on NBA games which I have no clue about betting wise, I would be up a nice chunk of change with your college plays. Don't let this under side track you, we need you (or at least I need you) for the stretch run.

by **jjgmyers** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 2:27 pm

all but 2 games have stayed under as well

Rice/Troy and FSU/UCLA are the only 2 to go over the posted total

Is Rutgers a sucker or am I overreacting. K-St's only "big" win has been the last week against Texas

by **swerb** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 3:08 pm

K State is a Jekyl and Hyde team. They've played some great games, and have looked like absolute dog shit in others.

Rutgers should be fired up tonight. Schiano is staying, its their first bowl in eons, and I expect them to play well. They are the clearly better team, and I look for them to come out and play with the same energy as they did in the Louisville game.

Still ... layin a TD with Rutgers in a bowl game is a little unnerving.

Small play.

by **yargs7** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 4:14 pm

9-2 (+$378)

I love Oklahoma State. Alabama is a mess right now. I'm concerned about Rutgers being one dimensional vs. K-State. Their QB is too shaky. And the last time Cal was in the Holiday Bowl they didn't show up and got waxed by Texas Tech. All that being said...

All Big 12 for me today

Oklahoma St -2****
K-State +7*
Texas A&M +5**

by **swerb** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 4:41 pm

Lets go Cowboys. Love that play as well Yargs. Given your hot streak, not too encouraged to see you on the opposite side of my other two plays.

Good luck dude.

by **Guest** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 4:47 pm

I actually like Bama for some reason

by **jjgmyers** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 5:48 pm

Rutgers is being picked at 78% rate. The public is all over Rutgers. I like under 44 in this game

My "guy" moved the freaking line to -4 by the way.

I like The 'Pokes coach Mike Gundy. He's gonna be a great one. He has some really good skilled players and knows how to use them.

At least one of us will beat the books tonight!

I hope we all come out of this Bowl Season with a nice New Year's bonus$$$$$$$$

by **jjgmyers** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 8:24 pm

- 4? I got 2. I checked the line about 3:45 and it was up to 2.5 so I called my "guy" right away and he still had it at 2

by **jjgmyers** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 9:26 pm

Looking good for Ok St.

Run the ball for the last 12 mins

The punt return was bad enough, but the fumble on the kick-off was just plain dirty. Well, I need an OSU touchdown in a bad way. No doubt that OSU was the right play. But the right side doesn't always win.

by **swerb** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 9:45 pm

This is nauseating

God I hate Alabama

by **yargs7** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 10:11 pm

I'm sick to my stomach. That's what I get for being too lazy to get an online account and shop for lines.

by **swerb** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 10:22 pm

Whew

Cal is a loser though, I will tell you that right now. I can tell by A&M's first drive that Im on the wrong side of this one.
