I see many posts by people trying to pick the winners in these meaningless bowl games. People use the same type of logic in picking these games as they do in the regular season. Here is what people forget. Do the players really care? Central Michigan is playing Western Kentucky in Nassau shortly. We are talking about two 7-5 teams playing a meaningless bowl game in the Bahamas in December. The biggest thing going for each of these teams is the fact that the weather is beautiful, as is everything else in the Bahamas. This is why it is foolish to try and pick a winner based on criteria used during the regular season. Just ask yourself this question: "If I am on a 7-5 team and I am playing in Nassau, or Honolulu, do I really give a caca about the game, or do I just want to enjoy the trip?" The correct answer will tell you to pass on games like this.

I know it depends on the circumstances; however, ask the question "would you bet these teams if they played each other in the regular season?". Don't think I would. You have very good logic behind your post. Have a happy, safe and most importantly a healthy new year. BOL

The lines are pretty tight in these games as well. Folks are obviously going to have to pay a premium to fade the MAC, but its hard to make a case for any of these MAC teams after watching No. Ill get worked last night.

BigdaddyQH,

Please go back and read your "Why Bet Every Bowl Game?" thread and have the stones to respond to me, or it will be confirmed that you're a gigantic fucking pussy. I would have handled this privately, but your classic (pussy boy) move to not accept PMs forced me to make this public.

You're act is growing pretty fucking tired.

You're a genius we get it. At least in your own mind.

The guy who loves Western Kentucky, and gave a very solid analysis as to why.......well its 28-7 early 2Q.

Just shut the fuck up already with your condescending bullshit. Nobody cares what you have to say. You come off as this all knowing guru and clearly you aren't. The answer wasn't to pass the game, the answer is to play Western Kentucky. You say nobody will hit your profit playing every game, which is absurd.

If you want to play only 3 games, don't criticize those that play more.

You should take this response seriously ... it's absolutely right on as to how everyone else here feels about you. P.S. Some of my best scores have been made on nondescript bowl games. Just because they aren't prime time games doesn't mean there can't be value in a side or total.

42-14 halftime.

Yep, those that played Western Kentucky and the over are pretty dumb.

Clearly, they should have taken your advice and passed the game.

You notice the jerk-off who starts these threads never comes back to comment. He just does it to get a rise and attention from the forum.

Dang this guy is dumb. And you have it completely wrong. These minor bowl games with non power 5 conferences or lower level teams mean a shitload to the players. The edge you can sometimes get is a major team playing for a major bowl but ending up out of it. Like when Florida gave up and let Cincy pound the shit out of them. But it's asinine to say a team like WKU or C. Mich is not excited to be in a bowl game, no matter how minor.
