College bowl games
Last year I was a dismal 15-25-1 ATS but I pulled out a 1500 profit thanks to my top three games winning. This year once again it doesn't get any easier, coaches gone, transfer portal running wild, guessing which teams are going to play to win and which ones think it is an exhibition.
SIX GAMES SATURDAY
MYRTLE BEACH
Georgia Southern -3.5 over Ohio $100
Under 54.5 $25
I bet this game at the very start and got GS at +1.5
NEW ORLEANS
Jacksonville St. -3.5 over Louisiana $50
Under 59.5 for $25
I bet this game at the very start and got the line at +1.5
CURE
Appalachian St. -6.5 over Miami (Ohio) $50
Over 48.5 $25
I bet this game at -5
NEW MEXICO
Fresno St +3.5 over New Mexico St. $50
Over 51.5 $25
LA
Boise St. +3.5 over UCLA $50
Under 49.5 $25
INDEPENDENCE
Texas Tech -2.5 over Cal $100
Over 57.5 $25

As a Miami grad, I always hope that MACtion gets some traction this time of the year...some years are better than others. This time around, I think Miami, Ohio, and Toledo are good enough to win their bowls outright; BG could knock off Minnesota.

Overall 4-3 ATS and a dismal 0-7 O/U Down $100 bowls
Marshall struggled mightily down the stretch and was hit hard by opt outs where UTSA wasn't.
UTSA -11 $50
Under 52.5 $100
I can't keep losing the totals so I will increase my bets there until I hit one.

Can anyone explain the the wide spread use of the transfer portal? Are players actually getting paid to play now and it is no longer a secret? Why so many transfers, I just read 11 Maryland starters are skipping the bowl game for the draft and transfer portal.

I hope this helps explain it. I would, but those articles sum it up better than me lol.

Now that youve been enlightened (and know what all of us interested in college football have taken into consideration long before the bowl games have started), maybe we can expect that you maintain the topic of this thread and provide some worthwhile bowl game predictions. Or is that asking too much?

Ah, the time honored get-rich strategy of pressing your losses.... 
I can't talk, college totals whacked me bad this season. Thought I had turned it around for the bowls by taking the under in the Miami-OH/App State and the over in the UCLA/Boise games on Saturday. But then I played the under in the W. Ky/Old Dom game Monday night. D'oh!
5-3 so far in the bowls, taking a side or total in each game. I'll try to remember to post my plays here for the remaining games - 'cause like my pony selections - they make for excellent fade material.

Now stand at 5-3 ATS and 1-7 O/U for a profit of $50!
BOCA RATON
USF +3 for $25 over Syracuse
$50 on the under 57
This is the worst bowl game of the year, not interested in either team and very confusing on what is going to happen. Syracuse is without their starting QB but has a much better defense so thinking the game is lower scoring.

Overall now 6-3 ATS and 2-7 O/U for a positive $125!
GASPIRALLA BOWL
UCF -4.5 over Georgia Tech for $50
$50 Under 67
This is one of those games where I thought Georgia Tech would open as the slight favorite and they didn't. So I am going against my thought process because the line is way off. Sometimes I look like a genius doing this and other times a moron.

Reading the line can be iffy. At least for me. Tends to be more of the moronic outcome.
Nice pick with S. FLA last night. I liked them as well, but didn't see a 45-0 result. Tonight is easy. Back up the armored truck, and put it on the OVER 66.5....
