***G-Man's BOWL GAMES***

[G-Man]

Saturday-Tuesday Bowls and Navy game.
2-0-P +1200.00


Had write ups for both games today but somehow they vanished...


5:30PM
WKY +7.5 over James Madison. 5 units
WKY should win this game.
JM played only 2 winning record teams all year. WKY is 8-5!

9PM
Cal +3.5 over UNLV. 3 units
I dont like the line here,
It should be much higher with Mendoza out?
All my trust is in the improved Cal defense and just enough offense with a backup QB to survive.

 

[G-Man]

Bowls 2-2-P +320.00
Tough loss by WKY - Three turnovers ..Cant cap TO's.


Thursday.
GA Southern -3.5 over Sam Houston, 4 units
Sam isnt a team that can catchup up if behind vs a winning record team, They only scored over 20 points once in their last six games.

Ga. So played 11 games against better FBS teams and went 7-4 SU.
Georgia Southern had 10 players named to all-Sun Belt Conference teams, including senior linebacker Marques Watson-Trent, the league's defensive player of the year. He finished first in the conference and is eighth in the nation in tackles per game -- 10 -- with 110 tackles in 11 games.

The Eagles have a veteran offensive line led by all-conference honorees Bryson Broadway, Caleb Cook and Pichon Wimbley.
They have helped enable quarterback JC French to throw for 2,619 yards and 16 touchdowns and Jalen White to rush for 654 yards and 12 scores. Derwin Burgess Jr. (53 receptions, three TDs), Dalen Cobb (50 catches, four TDs) and Josh Dallas (41 catches, five TDs) are the top receivers.

FRIDAY
NOON
Ohio -4.5 over J'Ville State. 6 units
Far better defense with Ohio and Ohio also played better teams.
Ohio is the Number 1 defense in the MAC conference and J'Ville State will struggle to put up points.
J'ville was also a negative scoring team (27-28) vs teams that are now bowlers this year. The Bobcats are positive scoring with a solid 30-19 over Bowlers.

3:30PM
Florida -10 (-120) over Tulane. 6 units.
Fla played top ranked high scoring teams with solid defenses. They won the last three SU vs LSU and Ole Miss -both ranked #21 and #9.
Tulane struggled vs teams with good defenses like Oklahoma and Army.
Tulane starting QB transferred to Duke. That will limit first downs and moving the ball.

8PM
Indiana +7 over Notre Dame. 6 units
Hoosiers are by far the best team that Notre Dame has faced all season.
The Notre Dame defense was exposed last week vs USC allowing 557,yards and Indiana will score on them.
The Indiana defense is far superior to what ND true defensive capability is and this should be a big SU win for Indiana in this game.

Great stuff. Was impressed with how Ohio controlled the MAC championship game from start to finish vs a well coached Miami Ohio. Early money seems to be on the side of Ohio as well. SEC vs Tulane? Not much to cap there. GL!

 

[G-Man]

Penn State -9 over SMU. 6 units
Ohio State -7 over Tennessee. 6 units
Clemson +13.5 over Texas. 6 units

 

[G-Man]

Hope you guys bought the half on Clemson...

FWIW - Ohio State has never lost to the SEC at home. (ABC commentators.)
Tennessee has never faced a defense that allowed under 100 yds rushing per game.
Buckeyes defense is ranked #2 overall.
Buckeyes -4 1H. 5 units

 

[B.A.R.]

Nice job to start CFP

 

[Eric Antrobus]

Nice work, G.

WEEK 2.
Tuesday Dec-24
8PM
South Florida +2.5 over San Jose. 5 units.
The main reason for playing USF, is that they scored on Alabama, Memphis and Tulane.

San Jose wont have star WR Nash, who has opted out.

One other reason is that SJ has gifted opponents with turnovers. Nine (9) in the last 3 games.
If they do that tonight they have no way to catch up.

 

[G-Man]

WEEK 2.
South Fla +2.5 5 units. Won +500.00 <<Originally posted in week one thread on Tuesday.
Bowls 7-6.+700.00


Thursday
Rutgers +7.5 over KSU. 5 units
KSU played several ranked teams and they have the far better defense.
Rutgers played a few good teams but we're still a PLUS scoring team on the season.
KSU id ranked 38th defensively in the nation on yards per game.
But Rutgers being a Big 10 team getting 7 here is too much.
Losing Star QB to the Portal/NFL draft is a huge loss for Kanasa State. No team that loses an NFL grade Starting QB fares well in games to follow.


Thursday'
Bowling Green -10 over Arky State. 5 units.
BG allowed only 20 pts per game on the season.
Arky doesn't play defense at all as they allowed 32 pts per game and are ranked #132 nationally.
The Falcons will score today -all day.

FRIDAY BOWL GAMES.
Vanderbilt. +3.5 (-120) over Ga Tech. 6 units
Vandy played 5 top ranked teams, beating Alabama, Losing by 3 at Missouri, Losing by 3 to Texas, by 13 to Tenn and lost 28-7 to So Carolina.

Oklahoma -ML -115 over Navy. 6 units
Sooners played by far the toughest schedule of all. Faced 8 teams with wining records -all bowlers.
Navy faced 2 teams that were ranked . Notre Dame (14-51), Memphis who was not ranked at game time, and Army.

Tex Tech ML -140 over Arkansas . 5 units
Razorbacks have no offense.
They had two high-scoring games with Ark Bluff (70-0) and Miss State 58-25., Once these games are removed, they become less than average in scoring as a poor 23 pt offense.

Syracuse -17.5 over Washington State. 5 units.
Cuse just too good for a pathetic WSU team that played only 3 games all year vs winning teams.

USC +3.5 over TAM. 5 units
One common opponent was Notre Dame. ND was much better in late season games than in week (1) when A&M played them and lost 13-23..
USC rolled up 35 points on ND in the last week of the season.

Have you checked the portal circumstances? It’s a cesspool for some of these teams. GL!

Saturday

11AM Start!
Conn +2.5 over North Carolina. 10 units
Conn is by far the better run team and run defense.
NC should not be favored with a run defense that is negative and allowing 5.0 yds per carry.
NC played no ranked teams.
Conn gave Syracuse a good game staying within 7 losing 24-31.

12NOON
Nebraska-3.5 over Boston College. 5 units
Nearly a home game for BC as this one in in Yankee Stadium. The BC defense was good all year allowing only 24 pts/game.
Nebraska couldn't score much in the last 6 games on the season except for one game with Wisconsin.
Only reason Nebraskas is the play is because they shut down Ohio State to 21 pts and Iowa to 13 pts.

2:15PM
UL Lafayette +10 over TCU. 4 units
TCU struggled with bowlers allowing 46 pts per game.
They got past Cincinnati in the last game of the season 20-13 but did it on 3 Bearcat turnovers.
TCU wins it but no cover.

3:30
Iowa State +3.5 over Miami 5 units
Open line was ISU -1.
ISU was favored in every game this year except one vs IOWA and they beat Iowa SU.
Hurricanes dropped down in rankings from early in the year.
ISU has the better defense.

4:30
Miami OH / Colorado State. Under 41. 5 units
Both teams scored under 17 points per game vs Bowl teams. The lowest of all bowlers combined in the same game.

N.C. State -7 over East Carolina . 6 units
NC faced more ranked bowlers.
EC played a tough Navy team but lost and won 4 of the last 5 games on the season.
