Pitt +4.5 and Utah State. Pitt faced a stronger SOS than Bowling Green. Northern Illinois had it BCS dreams busted in finale and Utah State has a good defense.

BG (ML) the easy pick - going to parlay it with Kansas State (ML) over Michigan.
Just can't go with BG -5.5, though I think they'll win by a TD.

I have not, so thanks for the insight Bear. Do you think ML is a good play?
$10 to win $4.50.
I'm just not comfy with the -5.5. I see BG winning by 4-10 points, and it could very well be 4. Can Pitt win outright in this one? BG State has played awfully well lately.

Or maybe I'll stick with my original play:
Parlay: BG (ML) / K. State (ML)

I would be shocked if Pitt wins this game. I am not that comfortable laying the points either but ML is a ton of juice.
I am still looking at this one but IMO its either bet Bowling Green or pass.
Bowling Green appears to be the better team, but keep in mind these teams have not played in almost a month. That is a lot of prep time in between games. Pitt just has to be the better team for one night. A lot of value with Pitt. Taking Pitt ML.

Not to talk you out of it, but why not take the points (+6) with Pitt at +100?
It is a tall order for Pitt to win - from everything I've been reading, BG is the stronger team offensively and defensively, the hotter team, and they have a lot of confidence playing in the same dome in which they beat NIU pretty convincingly.

I really like the under in the BG/Pitt game. Both teams are respectable when it comes to stopping the run and pass. Take under 50 in this one and thank me later

the problem with that is Pitt has zero talent.

Taking the points is a safer bet, but I figure either Pitt wins or they get blown out. Plus I think Bowling Green blew their load beating NIU.

At first glance i would take NIU, but your right, squares are on NIU.. 11-1 vs 8-5 and money is on NIU but yet the line has moved towards utah st..
Any one who bets on a regular basis should notice something fishy and realize you should run away.. Im taking the under in this game BTW

take Utah St.
Utah St will win this game by 10 points or more. I dont care about N illinois' better QB. They have a weak schedule. When they faced a decently good defense they lost.

no bet on BG. I see it as a toss up when it comes to the spread.

And yet they beat Duke, Notre Dame and Syracuse, three bowl teams. OK, Syracuse is practically on their level, but those other two wins are better than any wins Bowling Green had during the regular season, and the Notre Dame win is probably better than BGSU's win over Northern Illinois in MAC Championship. Pitt faced an SOS ranked 32nd in the country, Bowling Green SOS ranked 124th.
And Bowling Green may have already played their bowl game, they were probably more jacked up about keeping undefeated NIU out of the BCS than they are for a mid-level ACC team in the actual bowl.
