I've tried to cap motivation levels before, and have largely been unsuccessful. This season I won't put as much stock in it, but at first glance, here are some thoughts where each team is:

LSU - I think they will be motivated and will play hard for Les now that he's kept his job for at least another year

AU - Don't see how they want to be in this game at all. Losing Muschamp and Robinson is a blow at least emotionally, if not schematically. Plus they are playing a pretty good team

Miss St - Hard to say. Dak's last game, but there has been some tension stemming from Mullen letting it be known how many of the open jobs he was interested in.

atM - again, difficult for me to gauge. Maybe pressitup will have some insight

Alabama - motivated, obviously

Tennessee - Think they'll be motivated. Carrying some pretty good momentum

Florida - don't think motivation will be an issue. At least not as much as the offense

Ole Miss - motivated. They remember last year's bowl game and what was said about them. They are significantly healthier now than they were at the end of last year too, so I think they'll be looking to show they are legit

UGA - can't see them getting too riled up to play here. Don't even know who is coaching the game

Arkansas - feel they'll be pretty motivated
 
BOL on the bowl season,

i'm looking to back Arky and LSU this year..I think they present the best opps for a bettor but I could be wrong. Just don't know how TT stops Fournette
 
I'm with you on motivation angles. Don't see anything I would disagree with. On Miss St, I don't see him job shopping impacting the players as much as it does the fanbase. I like the angle of backing a guy like Dak in his last game, tried with the egg bowl because he basically said that was the main reason he came back to school, and it didn't work but in general I think that kind of motivation is good to get behind. I think they will prob be lined just under a TD, which for me wouldn't be one that I felt I needed to jump on early. I think Miss St also rates to improve with the extra rest. They were crushed with injury in the trenches as season went on and it really hurt them, would have to look further but I think some rest would go a long way in them improving in both areas.
 
Love the motivation angle. Think it plays a big role when it's a big favorite playing in a lesser bowl from the prior year vs a hungry team excited to be there.

Agree with both. Especially Arky. They are going to annihilate KSU by many touchdowns
 
the only way LSU loses is if LSU doesnt show... they should shred TT....LSU tough to figure out during bowl season i remember wanting to pound them a few bowl season as they had big time mis matches and came out real flat... last yr i believe they played ND and should have steamrolled them except they got dumped trucked

LSU motivation will be interesting to gauge but I think they come out, esp (as mentioned in discussion thread) that Les being back and securing his job will help his players too...wonder if they get the decommit back.

Sorry GPS, don't mean to high jack but best place for SEC talk

That's what the thread is for. More of a discussion thread than a "hey, look at my picks" thread
 
I like Tenny for sure.
Arky and LSU.

As far as Dak goes. If I remember right , I've gone against a couple of Sr. QB's in their last bowl in my day.
One was Rivers. Figured he would take it easy, killed it.
Woody Danzler , that guy ice skated in Boise.
I'm sure there's some I've won against, but you always remember the ones where you intentionally faded.

Two games I would never bet against the AGs, bowl game/first game. I would say there could be some disappointment there, but if not for such a beautiful schedule this year, it's been said '16 and '17 will be the years. Kids are still young. Soph QB, Soph all world DE. SPeedy and Kirk with time to rest. It will be fun vs. that Cardinal D. I'll be on them, but want to wait to get closer. weather always comes to mind for those late December games.

If Clemson can't win it, I want to see Bama just butt pound 0U. Yeah, there's a game first to be played, but that would be sweet to see.
I hate that friggin' fight song.

If by committ you mean Franks.....looks like he is sticking with FLA according to his last comments....looks like that ship has sailed

his situation was fading before the Les stuff just FYI

Like all the adds. Oregon is on my short list.

I've been down on TCU all season and I think Oregon was playing as well as anyone to end the season. A healthy Vernon Adams made a huge difference

Do you or anyone else have any thoughts on WKU/USF?
Click to expand...


I haven't looked at it yet. First thought is to take the over. I've bet on USF several of the last few weeks. They were one of those teams that Vegas was slow to catch up on.
 
WKU 9-4 Over this season would definitely make me lean that way as well. I am surprised to see it isn't higher than 9-4.
 
Ya I was leaning over too. Saw it open at 64 and almost hit it but it was more instinct at that point as I hadn't made my own number at that point. I've been wanting to play USF but keep pausing for some reason. I think you guys are right, the best approach may be over, will wait and see what BM does with it when they post.
 
Greatest Senior class in the history of WKU .... built the program on their backs. I like USF and they might even have line value by pr, have matched up ok against some passing teams too ... but this could be a game WKU plays hard in. Culmination of a sorts.

Good points, I think both teams will play really hard. The more I look at it the more I'm looking forward to watching it. Lean on total?
 
Thanks yanks.

South Florida +3

Tough to find a good angle here, going to go with the better defense and running team
 
Didn't post in time for the first game, but took the over, won't count on record obviously.

Second game: SDSU -2' & TT OV 29'
