I dont know about any percentages but I doubt that. More Joe Squares would have prob been on WV and no doubt UCLA getting 6.5 pts.

Why? Neither team had their QB. UCLA had no coach. WVU had no running back. Those lines were ridiculously soft given that.

These bowls are getting ridiculous.

Top players sitting out (qbs)

Drastic coaching differences in level of care for win.

Refs calling penalties all over the place to get face on tv.

jtoler · 12-27-17, 12:33 AM

How much do you think the average bettor checks into those things, also it wasnt known if Rosen would start till late I think. Im just going on the bigger names really, I doubt most average bettors would be laying 6 with K State over UCLA.

TheMoneyShot · 12-27-17, 12:39 AM

Even though K-State finally figured out UCLA in the 2nd half..... Refs weren't helping UCLA at all. I think every call went K-State's way in the 2nd half. Wasn't balanced at all...

I also disagree with UCLA going for it at the 50 yrd line 4th and 5 or whatever. I understand the coach won't be there next year... but man... still coach the game logically and realistically. Absolute gift for K-State backers in every direction.

Guys like Firedawg had a field day. We know how that works out

t-wizzle · 12-27-17, 12:49 AM

I tend to agree with jtoler here.

No coin I think the bigger point is that all faves covered today.

There was a reason they showed Rosen in helmet and uniform during warmup. I wouldn’t doubt if UCLA was actually the public play. Bettors seeing that and thinking there was a chance so they would jump on +6. Also the books never lose on the last game of a public day because people use an old technique that doesn’t work anymore...they think the last game is automatically going to be the upset or the books will get hurt. Books never lose. If they lose it’s because they are worried too many people are losing and going to give up. Then they give some money away and the degenerates come flocking back and they take it all back

Yes although it will turn

Man the refs were helping ucla right out the gate with that bs pick call on the first drive. They helped them early in the 2H when they clearly were short on a fourth down. Refs didn’t help kstate near as much

If you looked around , the public was all over K State -6
Overall , the better defense is like 14-2 ATS in Bowl games .
All 3 yesterday were better and covered
FSU / Iowa / Texas / Purdue , so see if it continues

Only thing that worries me is the players sitting out for Texas

Average Joe bets on favorites ATS 90% of the time.........

Maybe not 100% official but it was reported last Friday he was not getting cleared to play

psufan · 12-27-17, 10:14 PM

favorites will win mostly this year in bowls

Slipknot26 · 12-27-17, 10:27 PM

Looking like the better Defense carrying on today as well
FSU Win
Iowa Win
Texas and Purdue - ? Both looking good but means nothing

Slipknot26 · 12-27-17, 10:29 PM

12/28
Virginia
VA Tech
TCU
Michigan State
Have at it , doesn't look like it's slowing down

PAULYPOKER · 12-27-17, 10:55 PM

I read in a thread here yesterday that someone posted that teams with the best defense are 12 n 2 this bowl season so far..

I didn't investigate the post though...........

TheMoneyShot · 12-27-17, 10:59 PM

Tomorrow starts the REAL BOWL GAMES...

everyone needs to settle down about Defense during the regular season.

Three awful lines (way too short) with three favorites playing three awful teams. Books got bludgeoned.

Hope someone cleaned up. Not me.

This trend of players sitting out Bowl games. Fk this. If ANYONE sits out...it should just be the top3 guys. If u stand to lose $40Mill...I understand it. Now, players on bad teams are sitting out. GMAFB

Slipknot26 · 12-28-17, 12:40 AM

Damn
Make it 20-2 now , went 4-0 today although I played BC on one like an idiot .
Onward to the 4 for tomorrow

INVEGA MAN · 12-28-17, 01:12 AM

It was me about the bowl system. I picked up the line sheet in vegas and on back are the stats of all the teams. Today it went 3-1 for a total of 16-4. If you took the team who has gven up the least total rushig yards of the two teams playing your record is 16-4. Not bad but my book wants to shut me off. Lol lol. Thank god hes a relation and hes betting them also
