**let's talk BOWL GAMES

[milwaukee mike]

as much as i like to discuss betislands and other conspiracies, let's get back to the reason we're all here - BETTING MONEY ON SPORTS and hopefully winning.

byu/san diego st - what's the play? tomorrow's game looks interesting too, with the mysterious state of balls vs central florida.

for now i'm on byu -2.5 and sd st +3.5 hoping for a middle

[BIGDAY]

Mike, I need a POUND play.. I got the itch..

[milwaukee mike]

ucdavis +6.5 might be worth a look

no real "pound" plays today

[shaunovery]

like byu tonight mike

also we need to make the picks for our team

[milwaukee mike]

shaun, i posted the "preliminary" ones that me and sharkbite agreed to. post your thoughts in the bowl contest thread and we'll change some of them if needed.

[smoke a bowl]

SDST 1H team total U10.5 -120 or better.

[mikemca]

SD St is a run first team going against a dominant front 7 of BYU while BYU can throw the ball going against a soft D.Lark is making his 2nd start for BYU after throwing 6 tds with no ints in his first albeit against a bad team.He should have all day to dink and dunk against the 3-3-5 D that SD St plays.Also I'm not much for trends but BYU is 9-1 vs SD St since 2001 and 5-0 last 5.The only thing that worries me is that it seems too easy and everyone likes them so it smells kind of fishy.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Like Ball St. plus the 7.

[coitus_maximus]

Agree with Ball State, hope Wenning will play. The kid has a better arm. The number one reason for picking BSU IMO is the motivation factor of UCF. Don't see them wanting to play BSU. They were supposed to be in the Liberty Bowl

[Big Bear]

Geez thanks Mike!! I'm glad someone atleast wants to talk about betting for a change!

I have no knowledge of any of those teams you mentioned however.

I've got my eye on Florida -13.5 against Louisville i just dont see how Louisville keeps this one close

Does anybody have a website with accurate info on who the public is on the bowl games????

the real problem is if the backup (page) can't go either. would make them very one dimensional

[Big Bear]

Has Steve Spurrier named a starter for the outback bowl?

I hope its dylan thompson

not sure of the accuracy, but sbrodds.com has "consensus" info if you click on the information "i" next to a game

[sweethook]

byu looks to easy , why just -3 ?

[2daBank]

ucdavis +6.5 might be worth a look

no real "pound" plays today

i thought this was the best of a not great ncaa bb card..

[nrok2118]

Seems like a solid line, actually public is slightly on San Diego, 53/47 on sbrodds, 54/46 on SportsInsights. Gotta like BYU here, definetly worth an action bet.

[milwaukee mike]

hopefully you were on ucdavis, bigday

nice easy winner, wrong team was favored in that one, i should've had moneyline too

[Big Bear]

That michigan vs south carolina game should be interesting

Supposedly 4 different QB's will be on the field in that game

I'm not understanding this.

Michigan is an 8-4 team, and needed an absolute miracle to beat Northwestern.

The 4 good teams Michigan played, they lost. Alabama, ND, Ohio State and Nebraska completely shut Michigan down. South Carolina's defense is very good.

I don't see Michigan scoring much in this game.

I don't see either team scoring much.If it ends up both teams score in the teens similar to when Michigan played Mich St. taking the points is the way to go imo.Doesn't matter who is who if the final score ends 17-13.Think the difference is whoever gets that 1 or 2 explosive plays.

Has Steve Spurrier named a starter for the outback bowl?

I hope its dylan thompson

He said both will play but I am not sure if he has named an official starter or not.

[Cuse0323]

I need me some Syracuse ML for a nice payday, fade away.
