A little different than a year ago, huh? Although they do call Raymond James the Rose Bowl of the East

Yeah, stakes a bit smaller. Well, there are none at all.

Jeez. What a disappointment although I'm happy as a clam at the last few weeks.

Obviously different for you all.
 
Vandy/GA Tech could be a sneaky fun matchup if Pavia/King play. Not really holding my breath though.

Michigan will have DD guys out for this game between opt outs etc.

De Boer said last night that the expectation for Alabama is that all non transfers are going to play. Guess we'll see
 
Added the lines from ESPN. Obviously will have to monitor rosters from now until kickoff. No point in betting anything early outside of CFP games. Even without opt-outs, it will be hard to handicap motivation
 
I don't think that there will be as many opt outs on the Ole Miss side as you might expect. Now that doesn't mean that they will be particularly motivated, and your guess is as good as mine as to whether Kiffin gives a shit. I think you could make an argument that Ole Miss' backups are better than Duke's starters at most positions outside of OL and RB. Still a crapshoot. I think it goes Under.

How aggressive will Lane be in the portal this offseason? If he can play this game as being a tryout for next season, I think you can get a pretty motivated group. Same for a bunch of teams.

Ole Miss is unloading a lot from the payroll so I expect him to bring in another large portal class. I think the focus will be on OL, RB, DB/S, WR in that order. He will probably bring in a veteran QB to push Simmons, but I don't think he's going to break the bank for one. I suspect he would be fine if the QB situation played out like the Spencer Sanders/Dart deal a couple years ago.

Well Maalik Murphy hitting the portal may force me to lay 13….
 
Milroe says he's playing in the bowl game, which leads me to believe that there will be very few opt-outs. But Michigan's defense gave the blueprint on how to defend him last year, and I don't think he's gotten much better at it. I'd expect a pretty low scoring game
 
Ty Thompson will be Tulane’s QB but he IS in the portal and it seems to be an agreement showcase game for him.

Interesting
 
Vs Florida. He doesn’t throw the ball much….over the span of his career.
I wouldn’t be lining up to take the points with Tulane
 
Forgot Florida was playing today. No opinions on game, don’t even know who is playing for either team at this point. Didn’t Tulane’s QB transfer?
 
Alright, we have 4 SEC teams on the bowl slate today. I have not thought a lick about any of these games, but as I come out of the post-Christmas malaise, I'd like to bet on them. While not knowing much on opt-outs, my thoughts are that Vandy and aTm have the motivation angle in their matchups. Maybe the under in the OU/Navy game? Good luck on determining anything with the Arkansas game. Probably gonna look at Tex Tech there
 
I'm on Texas Tech at plus numbers. I know OU has seen a lot of attrition...but are they really going to lose to Navy with weeks to prepare? As a general rule I think better athletes given enough time to prepare beat the triple. Holding Cuse -7 from a month ago. Can't wait to see how that loses. I laid 3 with A&M.

Better athletes don't mean anything in these games. Convince me that Toledo has better athletes than Pitt...OU opened -9 and it's down to -1, impossible to bet that at this point until live since I prefer Navy but I'm not taking an 8 point loss on the line from open. All games today outside of Tech are live betting for me. Hard to even know how totals will react with all of the attrition from these teams, coaching changes, etc

still no real unexpected opt outs here, right?

Not that I've heard. Kaydn Proctor was questionable with injury, but he is expected to play. De Boer said yesterday that all draft-eligible players that are playing are expected to play the full game as well. I think we will see as close to regular season Alabama as can be expected here, minus the injured players and transfers
 
Maybe @ksimpsc can chime in here, but I feel like South Carolina wants to make a statement here.

And @twinkie13, it feels like in years past LSU has had opt outs, but they still play well in the bowls. Am I misremembering? I don't feel like looking it all up.

I think the value is gone from Alabama, so I just took TT over 31. I think they will do whatever it takes to send Milroe out a winner. He may still ruin those plans himself, but I think it will be a big day from him

From my keyboard to his ears lol
 
I laid Bama ML and Scary -9.5 together so what do I know

I kinda like LSU as a dog here but I don’t know much about Baylor
