    The bowl season is a new season

    There is a very long lay off for most games never forget this

    The regular season means nothing now

    You have no idea how teams will perform

    Historically blindly taking underdogs is very profitable

    The "which team is more motivated to win and will prepare harder" is always a good angle

    Bowls are very difficult because most wanna play the slate but good opportunities if you can find motivational angles

    One dimensional type offenses usually fail in bowl season. Teams have too long to prepare for that style.

    What has worked for me the last few years is who is the closest to the venue thoery. That kind of takes the motivation angle into consideration also. If a team is not playing for the championship the farther you are from the venue works against a team that is indifferent to a bowl game. I'm convinced the players could care less about bowl games.

    First glance:

    Buffalo has mismatches all over the field

    ULL/Tulane could catch an inflated total

    East CArolina has much more talent on the field

    please give me bowling green at -2.5 or less

    bill synder going out with a bang

    Oregon in the Alamo devastation galore

    ASU In Cali

    Duke vs Johnny football easily top 5 bowl game

    North texas in Dallas

    Wiscy / sc great matchup

    I'm trying nothing but props for Bowl Games this year. Typically over play when I try to find a side, 2nd half, etc.

    Since Bowls get so much attention, figure there will be props for them all. Gotta do homework on 'em. See you gents then.

    I'm going to try and play FAR LESS bowl games than I have in years past. Try to find my Top 5-7 bowl games and only play those. Don't press if there is a random game on TV

    First Looks:

    Northern Illinois -1.5
    Cincinnati +3
    Louisville -3 (hoping money comes in on Miami)
    Michigan -1.5 (Top Bowl Play so far)
    Oklahoma +17

    Auburn +7.5 or better
