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

[Ralphie1412]

seen a few Illinois plays here and have to ask WHY? The team is in the toilet and has half a coaching staff getting them ready for a game they aren't interested in playing anyway.

Really bad choice to go with Illinois

Well there you have it people. Looks like U of I is a good play.

guaranteed let down for Arkansas? why?

I thought that they should have played better in the Sugar Bowl last year. They didn't look prepared. Petrino doesn't seem to care about dominating bowl games.

I'm pretty sure I saw the Ducks man handle a very big and powerful Stanford offensive line (about the same size as Wisky). Ducks held a very good LSU line for three quarters before 4 turnovers kept them on the field forever and they finally wore out. Ducks d-line is big, fast and agile. They beat Wisconsin by 10.

I like most of these, but i think auburn wins by 7-10ish

ohio u, iowa st, lsu

rutgers has pretty much a home game against iowa state. i think uva rolls too. florida state should win- number is around -3 (around -160). also like NIU and LSU.

[PAYTON20]

Purdue -2.5

Southern Miss -6

In somewhat of an order of most confident first, here goes...

Auburn - not a homer pick, just familiar with them/us and these type games. Expect a VERY strong effort from the defense here. Offense will be allowed to "experiment".

Alabama/LSU over. Great D talent but such a low total and 6 weeks to devise plays.

Vanderbilt - extremely underrated team there.

Nebraska - South Carolina is **bad** without Lattimore.

Michigan State - Georgia can sometimes sleep through bowl games. MSU has to be focused after the bowl beating they took last year.

Arkansas over.

Miss State. too talented on the line of scrimmage. unfortunate for them that they play in the toughest division in football.

[NYSportsGuy210]

I cashed Southern Miss, NC State (-3.5) , NC State OVER 9.5 total points second half so far.

Liking Oklahoma to cover and Florida State (-3).

I will take that 5-0.

[seaborneq]

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.

Pretty damned pitiful.

SC bad without Lattimore

5-1 without him, 10-2 overall on the year

Their last game of the year they absolutely destroyed ACC champion Clemson 34-13

They have a bad record in bowls under Spurrier but this season they are actually riding high on momentum compared to previous years.....the whole program is fired up for the Capital One Bowl

Gotta take the the SEC team, nothing against Nebraska

[MoneyLineDawg]

Of the bowls left I like:

South Carolina -2.5
Georgia -3
Oregon -5.5
West Virginia +3.5
Michigan -2.5


I missed this thread earlier, but I have done really well so far in bowls (check my spreadsheet if you want).....Before they started my top bowls were:

Texas
FSU
Auburn
Baylor
Mississippi State

4-1 on bowls that I really loved so far.....hopefully those above will go 4-1 or 5-0

[Balco10]

Oak St -4 should win by two TDs.
Wisconsin ML
Clemson -3
Penn St +7
Michigan -2.5

[seaborneq]

A few of you were spot on. The rest should be 3 to 4 units down.

[Regul8er]

Sorry about your luck NC. 1-4 in your best games, with Wisky losing by half a point, WF losing by half a point, and NW losing by 1.5 points. YIKES!

Even the heavy leans went 1-3 thus far. Good thing CFF is coming to an end.

[oklahomaoutlaw]

Missouri -4
Penn st +5
Oklahoma -13.5
Illinois -3
LSU under 40

4-1 Roll damn tide!
