First week of bowl season was not as good as I would have liked but 50/50 isn't horrible. A lot of teams surprised me by either covering or wining outright, Temple floored me, Bowling Green what the hell?? So from here on out I guess nothing will surprise me, but who knows, that's why they call it gambling. So I've looked over these Saturday games and I have a few I like but not many as quite a few are near or on the number I thought. So here are my picks for the games on Saturday 12/26.
COLLEGE BOWL STATS
BEST BETS 3-3 ATS 4-2 SU
Regular Plays 3-3 ATS 2-4 SU
BEST BETS
In the SUN BOWL between MIAMI/WASHINGTON STATE I am taking the OVER 62 as a BEST BET. If you have watched any WSU games this year you know this is a good bet and their qb Falk will be playing and he has thrown for 36 tds this year setting a school record. WSU also can be scored on and as long as Miami can put a few tds on the board and they will this game will go over the total long before the game is over.
In the PINSTRIPE BOWL between INDIANA/DUKE I am taking the OVER 70 as a BEST BET. This one is also a strong play for me as the Hoosiers went over their last 6 games and Duke went over 5 out of their last 6. Those are pretty strong streaks to me.
REGULAR PLAYS
In the Foster Farms Bowl I am making UCLA giving 6 points to Nebraska a regular play.
In the Heart of Dallas Bowl I am making Washington giving 8 1/2 points to Southern Mississippi a regular play.
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.
I will be back late Sunday night or most likely early Monday morning with my bowl picks for the games played Monday thru Thursday this week. New Year's Day and Saturday 1/2/2016 will be on a separate post.
And as always - Remember to bet with your head and not over it.
