    Bowl lines out: what are your Top-5 bets?

    For now, I'm really liking:

    Northwestern +9.5 vs. Texas A&M (will probably play ML as well)
    Iowa State +2 vs. Rutgers
    Wake Forest +6.5 vs. Mississippi State
    Wisconsin +6.5 vs. Oregon
    Louisiana-Lafayette +5 vs. San Diego State

    Also lean heavily to Virginia Tech, Michigan State, Nebraska, Wyoming and Virginia.

    Wisconsin game is an enigma to me...could get rolled, or could keep it close...that one is definitely a coin flip though. Love the Northwestern play. BOL!

    I'm not really sure why everyone thinks the Badgers will get rolled. They may have trouble with Oregon's team speed, but how will the Ducks handle Wisconsin's physical play? The Badgers are very balanced. I watched Oregon get absolutely shredded by USC at home -- they're far from perfect.

    Utah is a pretty awful team. Came into the big ten and showed nothing. I think that triple option can be tough on a small team. And the ducks are better than people think.

    I really like Boise st to come and make a statement. ASU's coach is fired and coaching the bowl game...awkward. Gonna look into this one and also leaning really hard towards bama.

    Any SEC team against ACC is playable, to me the ACC may be the most overrated conference in the country as far as the press they get and the way the BCS has 2 teams in the BCS bowls. VTech in the Sugar???? Come on Man!

    I think the coach just may want to make a statement with this game.... this year is really the first year he has stated his true feelings on how they've been treated as second class team and he may just keep the peddle to the metal a little longer than normal in this game. As bad as AZ St so called defense can be this one could get ugly.... I'm with you in this game.

    haven't capped all the games...well, any of the games. i do know my first thought when seeing the games was that the baylor over would be easy money. of course i will cap the game first, and take into consideration other factors...but neither d really has a chance in that game imo. one of those games i can call over on without even seeing the total yet...lol.

    Very easy to beat if teams have time to prepare for it which Utah will have, Tech is 0-3 in bowl games under Johnson and have scored a grand total of 24 points in those 3 games, his teams weren't much better in bowl games while at Navy either.

    I dont know about Favorites but Temple as the opening game if a Gift, this teams as hungry as shit after being looked over last year, their run game is solid and Wyoming's D sucks

    I also like Cincy over Vanderbilt, TCU and Boise .... so far

    No matter what you do you should take MSU and the points. Georgia is a good team but MSU has been tested more this year overall and won those games. MSU could have easily been in the Rose Bowl and the B1G is underrated. 2nd best conference.

    Ferentz usually has the Hawkeyes ready for their bowl games, but I don't see them hanging with Oklahoma. I'd like OK -12, but -14 is looking pretty good.

    Will bet Utah. Line seems way out of whack. This team is good when it has time to prepare.
    Was quite a change this year for the team having to play tough game after tough team every week. With the time I think they win this game. Mainly because of defense, Norm Chow is still terrible.

    I'm not seeing Iowa's slow D keeping up with OU, unless they are a no-show mentally for this game.

    ou loses some games they shouldn't...and they really look bad doing it sometimes...but they are almost always $$$ after a loss under stoops. still don't know if i like this game...but they have been an auto-play for me after a str8 up loss for several years now.
