If case the whole forum has been living under a rock,everybody knows that this is my strongest play for the bowl season.I'm not playing the other 2.Kinda sux though!Would really like to watch the OKLAST game but it is the same time as the Rice game.The Rice game is on the NFL Network.Thank god I get it.Never thought I would be watching a RICE-W-MICH game over OKLAST-OREGON.Will be flipping back and forth though!The Rice game will have most of my attention!GL Husker!

I don't know ACC is 5-0 ATS in bowl games I believe and the WAC sucks. I know that does not really tell a lot about the matchup but I like Maryland in this one. I guess Boise State and LTU both covered but one over a 6-6 MAC team and the other over an okay Mountain West team. I wouldn't call TCU a great team. I think MWC is overrated. BYU is not that good. Utah will be exposed. CSU covered over Fresno State see above statement about WAC sucks. I am going onto tangents here but I like Maryland big. Maybe in a pleaser with Okie State.

As you can see.... not a big play for me. I just think Maryland.... who thought they were Orange bowl bound..... until they lost 3 of the last 4 games comes out flat.

I like Freidgen a lot. There is just something about fat football coaches that is appealling. Mangino, Freidgen, Amstutz can all come to the buffet with me at any time. But no one can invite Fullmer because he's a dumb ass.

Somehow, I don't think the Terps come out flat. That being said, Nevada seems to get better as the season progresses. Not sure what to think of this game. I will say this: If Nevada wins, they'll earn it. I don't think Freidgen and his team will come to this game unprepared.

MD moneyline

Seems like the ACC is doing very well this bowl season. We have FSU crushing wiskey, NC covering against WVU, NC state covering against Rutgers (they should have won but the QB got knocked out at half time) and Wake beating up on Navy.

MD has a physical defense and I think they will be able to slow down the running attack. Terps have 30 seniors who want to go out winners so I dont think they will come out with no emotion.

I also think the level of competition is not even close. Nevada loses to Hawaii where they were favored by 3.5 and lost to New MX state when they were favored by 19.5. They played two top 25 teams and lost both games. MD played 4 top 25 teams and went 2-2.

The only thing that worries me is that the terps only won one road game this year and that was at Clemson. I think MD wins and with all the running that will be going on, I like the under.

MD seems only playing strong at home.

10-5 now with the Oregon game pending. BUT up HUGE on the day thanks to RICE!!!! YUMMY!! I LOVE RICE!!!!!!

Wednesday plays.....

Here is what I have for tomorrow. Currently 10-5 in bowl games. (assuming Oregon doesnt melt down.... ugh.. .just got stuffed 4th and goal at the 1!)

Boston College -3.5 5 units This is my game of the day. (2-0 in top plays ND and Rice) Vandy started 5-0.... and then lost 6 out of 7 games!! They lost 10-20 against a BAD Tenn team. (I'm a UT fan) BC has the nations 7th best D. BC wins big here.

Houston -4 2 units This is an interesting matchup. Nations 2nd best passing team(H) vs 5th best rushing team(AF). Air Force lost last 2 games by combined 48 points. They played earlier this season and AF won 31-28.... in BAD WEATHER!!! We all know that bad weather helps RUNNING teams. Weather is nice this time folks.... and Houston comes out on top this time.

Pittsburgh +2 1 unit. I take Oregon St in this matchup....... until Rodgers is out! My understanding in this game is that BOTH of the Rodgers brother are out. The top 2 running backs. I think Pitt takes advantage of that and can find a way to win this game

Kansas -9.5 1 unit. I've been back and forth on this game. At first glance I had Missouri covering and Kansas NOT covering. I figured one would and the other wouldnt. Well Missouri didnt cover... .so I look at this more closely. Minnesota lost the last 4 games of the season including 6-29 to Michigan! and 0-55 to Iowa. WOW! Not real impressive. Kansas knew that this was a tough schedule this year.... and that they wouldnt match last years success. Time to beat up on the Big Ten.

Georgia Tech -4 1 unit. I think the triple option is too much for this average SEC team. I dont like the 4..... wish I could get -3. Just 1 on this game at this time.
