Take the UNDER in the rest of the Bowl games, sans the Toliet Bowl

**BigdaddyQH** · 01-03-10, 01:08 PM

Good points on all 3 games. Last year, a 2 loss TCU defeated an Undefeated Boise State 17-16. I agree with your scenario on the Texas-'Bama game. The only game I would question is the Iowa-Ga. Tech game. Tech can put up points in a hurry, and Iowa put up 24 against Ohio State without their starting QB playing.

The Iowa/ GT game is the shakiest of the UNDERs, but I feel GT will face a Defense they don't see in the ACC. Also Iowa's strength is in their D line, and that is key to stopping the option.

These teams offensive numbers are skewed due to the level of competition in their conferences. Look into the teams combined point totals vs. BCS schools this year.

Iowa stout D vs. GT unique Offense.

Also I wanted to say to FishHead... The Big-Ten has gained a lot of respect during the Bowls, and I was wrong about the level of competion.

Two Stout D's. Especially Texas Run D. I think Colt McCoy is a Hack, and the vertical passing game will be nonexistent for Texas. 'Bama is not going to have an easy time moving the ball either, since TX's run D should keep them in Check.

I agree Colt McCoy wont be able to pass the ball. Texas run D is good but I think Ingrim, Upchurch, and Richardson can do it.

Love all three of them. Iowas D will show us something

I'm glad I saw this thread yesterday, decided to put down on the boise/tcu which ended up absorbing the TCU loss. Really like Iowa ML and the under, will likely do a large play on both

Way to call em Houlihans. I think the Troy game today will be another under. You know what happens when two high scoring teams get together...

Hope you got a good number on C. Michigan.

I was at the sportsbook sitting next to a guy that had them at -3.5. Bad number, always buy on the 3 or off the 3.

Texas/ 'Bama

UNDER 45
___________________

Now I know I have been touting 'Bama, since they slaughtered Florida. But I have had a change of heart. I think Texas matches up nicely with 'Bama, from a run D stand point. No matter how much of a Hack I think McCoy is, there have been other shitty QB's that have found success against 'Bama D.

I own a 'Bama -5 ticket for $550. But I will be buying a Texas +(Whatever the highest line is in Vegas) Ticket for $1,100.

I'm not playing both sides of the fence, I have changed my allegiances to the TX side. I wont be saying dumb shit like " I should have keep my wager the same I knew I was right..."

TEXAS +

**BigdaddyQH** · 01-07-10, 10:56 AM

Hou, you may have a problem getting 5 now. You obviously are not in a good spot, and no one can accuse you of playing a middle, since you are going to allow the books to middle you. You are going to be laying a total of $1650 to win $550. You should get 4, so you can not lose twice, but a push and a loss are in the cards. GL tonight. I hope you can get yourself out of this mess. As I have said earlier, having seen both of these teams out here, Alabama seems a lot more uptight than Texas does. Maybe that is the way Saban wants it.

**jcljack25** · 01-07-10, 11:10 AM

Bama wins this, only the over thinkers are taking Texas.

**RockoSocko** · 01-07-10, 11:10 AM

nope, i'm under and like texas

I threw $100 on it. I looked at the last two times Texas played teams with stout defenses(Okla, Nebraska), and I counted 2 TD's between those games. I dont see it getting any easier.

These are my plays fellas. I played 'Bama -5 about a month ago, had a change of heart though. Put enough money on the opposite side of the spread, and ML to make money back.

Well done

**TheBetBuysDanK** · 01-07-10, 08:32 PM

I like the prop bet a lot

**HoulihansTX** · 01-08-10, 12:35 AM

Lost a lot of money on that game. Dont really want to talk about it.

WOW. Colt Fukking McCoy.
