After two seasons of betting every bowl game based on the team with the better run D only and then realizing (with the help of other posters) that the winning percentage increases with incorporating the possibility that the same team has the better run offense, now I will just focus on those teams that qualify for both. starting with :

December 17,2016

appalachian st,,,RO 13th,,,RD 23rd,,,current line app st +1 -105 (no bet yet)

Have you tried incorprating this into to it as well..def less games but nice win rate



Over the last 25 years, underdogs in bowl games that averaged 200 or more rushing yards in the regular season are 44-9 ATS (83%)

Thanks for the data, I appreciate someone who contributes with information, not just "Bumfuck University - 7"

The running stats data is a great approach. IMO you can enhance it by incorporating it with:

-strength of schedule
-weather
-conference styles

First game SOS are very close so the running stats are valid, the weather should be comperable to both's equally, and the conference styles are not significant so YEP App St looks good...

(in the old days cold weather run dominated Big 10 schools who won the conference with the run and against the run went to warm southern California for the Rose Bowl and faced the pass happy Pac 12 winner and usually lost badly... the same schools, if they played outdoors in Ohio or Michigan Jan 1st, the Big 10 team would win)

Im sure there are many other factors to look at including some teams that arent actually playing on a neutral field for a bowl game,,,and with those other things to look at comes the likelihood that i might lay off a winner,,and really like one particular game that ends up being a loser. that would be my luck. Right now my book moved southern miss to -6.5 -115,,,that would tend to make me think im on the wrong side with ul laf,,but if line moves were always correct then that would be an even easier way to place bets

And that is the EXACT reason that Washington will most DEFINITELY cover that enormous spread. Not calling for the outright win, but guys, I EAT, SLEEP, AND SHIT THE PAC 12 IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL, and it would "NOT" be a shock to me if Jake "the snake" beat this awesome Alabama D. Not only can the Huskies throw the ball, they have a great running game to go w/ it. Hey, they are 2 TD underdogs for what reason, I have no clue, other then simply the BOOKS know where the public is going to lay their $$$$ on, & they are just reeling them in like easy fishing.


Maybe because Alabama crushed USC 52-6, the same USC team that did handily beat Washington!!!

Not the same USC team. Darnold is a significant upgrade over Browne at QB. It's a well known fact that Alabama struggles with above average QB's. Washington has the athletes to keep this within the number. Add to that, Chris Peterson getting a month to prepare for this game, Washington is the play. Alabama wins by 7-10pts but this game won't get out of hand.

Because its obvious that the USC team in Game 1 is the same USC team now,

Just brilliant.

Your book must love you if this is the thought process behind your action.

there are 22 games that qualify this year,,but now it is 21 since minnesota was a qualifying team but that situation is a mess, so no bet there.

Game 1 APP ST PK WIN

Game 2 UL LAF +5.5 LOSE
