Will you be making some half-time feedback? I think you did well with your half-time feed back on Dallas... I believe a lot of us would enjoy reading your thoughts...

**justwinthisone** · 01-02-12, 02:46 PM

Any other plays today for later games? Thanks

**Kratzy1** · 01-02-12, 03:53 PM

Jumping off the JR train for 2012. Painful weekend following NCAA & NFL. Good luck to those sticking around.

I appreciate that. and I will give some insight to tonight's Oklahoma State/Stanford bowl game.

Let's do a 5* teaser with Oklahoma State and the 'UNDER'. so that means Cowboys getting three and the under at 82 points. I like the first half 'UNDER' for 5* play too as I think both teams will run the ball and establish field position. Cardinal will play a cover-2 and cover-3 scheme to try eliminate the big play scoring threat by the Cowboys. This allows Weeden to throw ball control routes underneath and move the chains. Cardinal knows that Cowboys will score points, but their goal is make them do it with eight plus play drives. Thanks

Ouch

**John Ryan** · 01-03-12, 05:42 PM

we luckily hit the teaser last night.. First teaser I made this year as a 5* play. Laugh. Don't care for them, but it got us some money back..

Tonight we are playing 5* 'UNDER Michigan/Virginia Tech and the research behind this play has been on the site for about a week now I think. Not that you should know that, but I also have a play listed for the BCS Championship game as well. 5* 'OVER' and I may raise this to a 10* based on the soe of the border line projections that get validated with any line movement to 40.

I will update the record.

**John Ryan** · 01-03-12, 06:56 PM

Bowl record is 8-5 ATS for 5* plays, 1-2 ATS for 10* Titans, and 0-1 for a 2* recommended/suggested/lean play.

On a nice run with the 5* plays. Thanks John let's keep it rolling...

**rnoutlaw21** · 01-03-12, 10:29 PM

Under looking solid so far, lets hope it holds

**cdnicholson** · 01-04-12, 01:16 PM

How do y'all feel about the Clemson vs west virginia game?

**John Ryan** · 01-04-12, 06:46 PM

5* play 'UNDER' in the Orange Bowl. Current line is 64 -110

One of many factors I see in this game is that I do see the defenses having a relative advantage.

Tigers' back seven must keep close tabs on a pair of playmakers in WRs Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. Austin is vastly undersized (5-9, 173) but is extremely quick out of cuts and has been able to exploit the middle of the field working from the slot. Bailey is underrated in terms of route-running and has above-average body control and hands. Clemson co-defensive coordinators Kevin Steele and Charlie Harbison will mix in zone and man looks in the secondary, and when they do dial up man coverage watch for them to align DC Coty Sensabaugh across from Bailey as much as possible. Tackling will be key for Clemson in the secondary as well, because Austin and Bailey display dangerous elusiveness after the catch. Obviously, I strongly believe you will see some sound tackling and stronger than expected defense.

Yeah I recall him saying that even if it moved up to 64 he still liked the over, very confused now??

**cdnicholson** · 01-04-12, 08:58 PM

Defense needs to step-up

,,,, That was to easy

**justwinthisone** · 01-04-12, 09:20 PM

4 TDs and fg so far in 1st qtr with 45 secs left......yes in 1st qtr

**ronzer** · 01-04-12, 09:25 PM

anyone else think WV's coach looks like a serial killer?

**cdnicholson** · 01-04-12, 09:32 PM

Hmmm, They gonna have 64 before 1st Half.... LoL

**justwinthisone** · 01-04-12, 10:17 PM

62 points so far in 1st half.... 1:13 mins left in 2nd qtr......yes 62 in 1st half and the half is not over

**rockhardfister** · 01-04-12, 10:20 PM

Glad im just clicking on this now. Saw the video and John was heavy on the OVER and the other 2x liked WV. The other dude (dont know his name) is pretty solid. I tailed him on his Houston pick. He seems to have a feel for the games without the supporting data.

**justwinthisone** · 01-04-12, 10:37 PM

69 points in 1st half

I was thinking pedophile too... but I guess that's just wrong considering the year in sports we've had...

**soonerstud7804** · 01-06-12, 08:45 AM

classless really?????

**jbananas** · 01-06-12, 11:26 AM

What do you think about the Cotton Bowl John? Did you see Steve's analysis on the game? Arkansas has won every game except for games when they do not throw over 245 yards. The only time they did not achieve this was against Bama and LSU. They covered the spread when they achieve this and outpass their opponents. K State will obviously have difficulty outpassing Arkansas so what do you think about laying more than a TD?

**soonerstud7804** · 01-06-12, 01:15 PM

In the service play section someone posted that this is Johns biggest play of the year go check it out.. Until I hear it here I don't believe it.With that said What you think on the game tonight JR, I was leaning under since it seems everyone is going over...
