    bowl games just turn into exhibitions. too many meaningless matchups. just vacations for players. neutral fields make them difficult to bet on. too much time until they get around to playing them. teams, players, coaches lose edge. too much commercial sponsorship. should have playoff system with less teams qualifying. does anyone really care who ends up #9 or #12. concentrate on nfl instead.

    If you take MSU you're assuming OSU won't score 24 or more. MSU doesn't have the type of offense that bothers OSU and no one has stopped OSU's offense this year. 35-17 sounds about right. I'll take -6 all day.

    Majority of the sh#$ bowls... throughout history... favorites tend to cover a lot more.

    If you are dumb enoughto wager on them, that is on you. There are all kinds of angles and history that you can follow that should save you a few bucks, but that is why 85% of you are losers in here. As far as the Ohio State-Michigan State game is concerned, we are talking the Big 10 here, so anything can happen. Ohio State will be held to under 30 points, but can Michigan State score enough points against an Ohio State defense that runs hot and cold?

    I disagree. Bowls are so much easier to cap, for the exact reason you mentioned - motivation.

    I have always gotten a lot of money back this time of year.

    unless you are playing for the national championship, i fail to see a lot of motivation by players who only hope to go to a warm weather bowl to vacation and party. don't see much disappointment on faces of losing team at end of a bowl game. more like the nba when they lose and shrug it off. maybe you've been lucky betting them in the past but that will change unless you have a foolproof angle. hope so.

    You can make money if you can find the right angles...during this time year a lot of coaching changes, another angle to look for. Most bettors don't narrow the games down, they will bet all the bowls games

    If you bet a lot of bowl games, you're going to get wrecked. That I can 100% agree with.

    Choose your spots, or play into the bookies hand.

    Bowl season is hell. All the rest in between screws with teams. Only thing for sure, Hawaii bowl will feature a favored MWC team and the scrub squad from the C-USA will trounce them.

    There are always teams that are terrible matchups. For instance, a spread offense vs. a Stanford or Bama defense.

    But more than anything, there are teams who are really happy to be there matched up vs a team that can't find fukks to give.

    Bowl games have been decent to me. Playoffs, in any sport is where I have done my damage. Hope to keep that going this year.

    Also, there are always teams on paper that look a lot better vs an obscure team with a lot of pride.

    Just like the first part of the season, Mid-Majors vs. Big Schools are awesome.

    Seasons go too fast.
    After lots of years I'm still learning the game and this year was no different
    Hit the early weeks hard as the lines are skewed off last years teams/records, as the season went on, the lines got sharper

    Bowl season is always a coin flip, one of the few times picking the better conference may be the best angle
