Will have MUCH more ......strategy, links, etc
Painful to watch lines move / lose value - but typically no big deal in bowls, as the SU winner almost always covers - especially in early crap bowls. It's tough to handicap these games when you have little idea who will play or coach FFS. I wouldn't get in any hurry .......
>> Last minute opt outs / portal - last minute portal, BUT STILL PLAYING (especially brutal) - HC leaves, takes all assistants, or takes few - HC retires, coaches bowl or maybe doesn't - interim coaching for the job, or spending the entire time looking for another job. For now focus on teams that (you kinda sorta know) will see little change.
Coming into this bowl season with evil intentions - off my worst bowl season by far. Typically less senile in bowls.....
>> before LY my worst season for one unit plays was 10-5. LY 5-8 / 28-21 overall. 211-126 last 9/10 yrs - one unit plays 78-37, which is good because I've been confused the L2 regular seasons and barely over 50% or so.
Total on BYU / Col seems low - both teams with improved D's - but guessing Buff stars play here and are given every opportunity to show out. Both were thinking play-offs - so this one a slight disappointment, so I don't see much D here, as playing D in an exhibition game in late December is hard (could be wrong). Expect a slow start after the lay-off - high scoring 2H - A transcendent QB like Sanders playing his last game typically lights it up here - INDOORS too. BYU with a solid pass D, but they bring little pressure (#124). Lean BYU 1H / Col 2H
Like Indy for game - 1Q/ 1H might be better - a fantastic 1Q team that will be prepared - have a great script to start. D is really tough early.
