Okay so I am still about a week to two weeks early with a lot of these bets but I am pretty sure if you just bet what I am betting below you should make some decent money for the upcoming college football bowl game weekend. I have already made a post stating why I like Auburn (+9) for the BCS title game....but if that is too risky for you there are some other solid bets I have just placed and I recommend you do too before the lines start to move a lot as we approach the last week of December and the first week of 2014.
So Here Are my Bets:
(1) First I'll start off with a little ML parlay that pays +290 (5-teamer)
Louisville ML, Oregon ML, Alabama ML, Georgia ML, LSU ML - Pays +290
Oregon might eff this up if Texas comes to play for Mack Brown's final game as Texas head coach, but if not, I think this hits.
(2) Louisville (-3.5) vs. Miami Hurricanes
I like Miami offensively and think athletically they can hang with a lot of top notch NCAA programs. But my gut tells me the Teddy Bridgewater will declare himself eligible for the NFL draft after this bowl game and he will want to put on his best performance before he goes out. Both these teams will put up a lot of points as well and I see the Cardinals winning this by 8-10 points.
(3) Louisville vs. Miami - OVER 55 Points
Both teams cam move the ball up and down the field with their aerial attacks and I see this as a 40-31 or 45-30 type of football game.
(4) Alabama (-15) vs. Oklahoma
Oklahoma is a terrible football big program team. Baylor and Texas spanked them by bigger margins than 15 points this year and both of those teams have played like horse sh*t many times this year. Alabama is still elite and should be a #1 or #2 team in the nation.....they will show no mercy and spank the OK Sooners.
(5) LSU (-7) vs. Iowa
Iowa had some impressive wins against Michigan and Nebraska but they are way out of their league going up against LSU. LSU's defense is still physical and top notch and will give Iowa fits. Again buy low on these SEC quality teams playing mediocre opponents in bowl games. They should all own.
(6) Georgia (-9) vs. Nebraska
See the last comment from the LSU vs. Iowa analysis and apply it here. Georgia played terrific this year despite their brutal SEC schedule. They are way underrated as a team talent and heart wise. Nebraska has gotten spanked by some Big 10 and Pac-12 teams that Georgia could eat for lunch.
Leaning Oregon (-14) vs. Texas and Missouri (-1) vs. Oklahoma St. too. The whole playing hard for mack Brown's last game kind of scares me though. Missouri might be amped up after there once stout top defense got swiss cheesed up by Auburn's offense last week. Still not sure if I want to take them vs. Okie State yet.
Anyone have any other strong plays for this bowl week or comments about my plays?
