    A tactic that I use when I like the ML is to bet 2 units on the spread and 1 unit on the ML. That way if the team covers but doesn't win straight up I win 1 unit. If the team wins straight up I make 2 units + the ML vig.

    Save your money with Hawaii. Georgia could be ranked #1 or #2 next season. They are very good.

    Very glad I'm not on the other side of any of these. I'll look into these plays. Though I too am skeptical of Hawaii beating the Bulldogs. GL looker.

    Keys for success in picking bowl games:

    Fade Big Ten teams (that means Indiana too)
    Take Big East teams (5-0 SU last season, underrated)
    Take SEC teams
    Take dogs in games where the opponents know each other well (Such as Houston/TCU)
    Whenever 2 keys overlap, bet big

    Key #1 and Key #3 overlap, LSU in a blowout over Ohio State... just like last year when OSU played another SEC team

    I agree with Astro on his strategy. Replace Hawaii with WVU Onlooker.

    Here's an opinion on some.
    Memphis- I am familiar with that program and some of their coaches. Their skill positions are filled with talent. What gets them into trouble is matching up with bigger more physical teams. I think this is a good matchup for them.

    Air Force- If a team is not used to seeing an option attack, it is difficult to prepare for it because most scout teams don't run it with the precision and speed as air force. I think AF can win outright.

    Indiana- I think OSU has too much offense and can run too well for Indy.

    Wisconsin- Fulmer always gets outcoached in bowl games. However, TN has faired well against Big 10 teams not named Penn St.

    Hawaii has a lot to prove and I think this team will be able to throw on Georgia. I'm not sure if they can stop GA though. I really like them getting the cover, not sure if they can win outright.

    Kansas-I look for Kansas to be able to move the ball on VT. I think they outscore them here.

    Ohio St.-Tressel is the better coach. I think he learned alot from last year's debacle. Ohio State was humbled which I think makes them dangerous now. The fact that nobody is giving them a chance makes me think this team will be all business. This game will be no blowout. I believe it goes down to the wire with OSU winning by a field goal.

    Kansas has no chance. Neither does Hawaii. Besides those 2, all of them are solid ML plays.

    love all plays except kansas.

    Dont believe the hype onlooker. Hawaii will come to play. I know they had a cupcake sched, but IMO they want to be in this bowl...not georgia. Herchel walker talking smack earlier on espn...in other words everybody talkin smack. The team that has alot to prove will come to play. Im big on Ohio state also.


    by the way how was your bowl record last year?

    be careful about big10-sec -- last year wisc and Penn st both won SU as dogs over Ark and Tenn.

    Last year Big east was underrated and thus had easier bowl opponents.

    These are keys to success that I hear every year, and every year people lose when they use them. Plus the last sentence makes you sound like you've been doing this for maybe a year. Big Ten teams have been doing well ATS when matched up with SEC teams. And, just because the Big East performs well in exhibition games doesn't mean they are good at all b/c these are exhibition games (besides the NC game).

    I am one of the biggest Big Ten (Eleven) bashers here, but 3 of the 8 dogs I like to win SU are Big Ten schools. What ever makes me money. Then I will get back to bashing.

    Purdue beat CMU 45-22 regular season, MAC sucks
    TT has to much for UVA
    Boise will crush ECU and I am from the area
    And I think Cincy is to much for SMU
    I like UConn's chances, too very equal, disciplined teams

    I'm betting all the Big 10 teams except Wisconsin - I actually think Tennessee handles them quite easily - and Purdue. Personally I believe all three Michigan teams have excellent chances to win their games.

    georgia is most over rated team in the top 20, they sure got lucky in drawing a team with a poor defence, also very over rated is WVU but they will win in there bowl game cause last game was a eye opener.....

    Key #1 and Key #3 overlap, LSU in a blowout over Ohio State... just like last year when OSU played another SEC team
    Lets take a look at my keys as of now:

    Fade Big Ten teams (that means Indiana too) - Well fading the Big Eleven schools would have resulted in going 2-2 so far, tho I did have Purdue and Penn State to win... the rest I have losing, including the 4 remaining (Big 11 may be the worst BCS conference this season)... singled out Indiana and they lost SU and ATS

    Take Big East teams - 1-2 so far, but easy game with Rutgers coming against Ball State would mean atleast 2-3 SU... doubt WVU beats Oklahoma, tho I it wouldnt surprise me

    Take SEC teams - Would be 4-0 SU, and 4-0 ATS if you took the lines as of the time I posted these keys... UK lost ATS after the line was taken off the board and a new one introduced... tho it was at UK -3 when I posted these

    Take dogs in games where the opponents know each other well (Such as Houston/TCU) - This would be 0-3 SU, however 2-1 ATS, with Southern Miss covering against Cincinnati (Former C-USA rivals) and Central Michigan covering against Purdue (played once already this year)

    Whenever 2 keys overlap, bet big - Well I see only one instance of this so far that has been played... #1 (Big 10) and #4 (Dogs that know each other)... while SU it would be 0-1, ATS it is 1-0 with CMU covering against the Boilermakers...

    In the Cincinnati/Southern Miss game #2 and #4 conflict, so it would have been smartest to make it a no play, tho I did take Cincinnati

    Tomorrow 2 keys overlap, #1 and #3, in the Tennessee/Wisconsin game, and in the Florida/Michigan game
