Is that typical for you? Have a great NFL season, then college bowl season kicks you in the nuts. Back in the day when statistics weren't a mouse kick away and I had a big edge on my coworkers. I would pretty much always have a profitable NFL season on betting the spread with guys, and hit the weekly straight up pick all the NFL games a 3-5 times a year against 40-50 guys. Then we would have these bowl game pools. Some in groupings with the spread and then the whole ball of wax, with a larger contribution and pay-outs for 1st-3rd.


I probably did these between 3 places of employment for almost 15 years, pretty much the same amount of people playing, to get the pools bigger we allowed friends and family of workers to play.


Long story short, most of the time the big winner of the bowl pools was some SOB born south of the border who thinks football is played with a round ball. I think even back in the day, and definitely now,
there are too many variables picking bowl games.


I do remember one lesson from the distant past, don't trust USC if they were in a bowl other than the Rose bowl. The University of Spoiled Children, acted like anything but the Rose Bowl was beneath them and often did not show up to play in a second tier bowl.

Yes lol usually typical for me most years

I have a great NFL/NCAAF season and then when it gets to the Bowls/NFL Playoffs my picks are all over the place!

And yes I absolutely agree each pool that I have been in it is always some newbie who knows squat about the games and ends up winning the whole thing vs me who does handicap each game the best that I can and loses my butt or doesn't finish well

2-0 on the game today. The MAC is now 1-5 after todays blowout loss.

A quick look at Monday's Nevada/Western Michigan QUICK LANE BOWL

Nevada opened as a 7 point favorite but are now a 7 point dog thanks to the head coach leaving and their star QB sitting out as he prepares for the NFL draft. If there were no personnel changes Nevada would have won this game by 30-40 points just like Georgia St. crushed their inferior MAC opponent.

Problem is I don't know anything about the backup, no matter, I am taking Nevada +7 and the over 56, which has dropped from 66. If anyone is actually betting with real money take the money line on Nevada, still think they will win the game outright.
