Last Year (elsewhere) was a great year as I had a bowl run on sides that went 20-4 and finished the bowl season with outright SU wins with Ohio State over Alabama and SU Ohio State ML and ATS win over Oregon.
Overall the bowls were 22-11 while winning over 60 units.
Lets hope for a similar bowl season this year.
New Mexico +7.5 (4 units) over Arizona.
New Mexico played well against bowl level teams going 3-5 SU while Arizona was 2-6. Granted that Arizona played a few tougher teams like Stanford, but they still have one of the worst defenses of all bowlers this season while New Mexico has one of the best. New mexico play 6 of their last 7 against bowlers but 4 were away games. Since this is The New Mexico Bowl, that makes this one a home game.
BYU +2.5 (4 units) over Utah.
Utres loast 3 of their last 6 SU and failed to score over 20 points in their last 2. Both defense play at the same level only allowing 24 points per game against all bowlers, but BYU has a more reliable coach on Mendenhall who won 6 of last 7 in regular season play SU. Dog between these 2 have covered 5 of the last 6 ATS.
Ohio +7.5 (5 units) over Appy State.
Ohio played 6 bowlers and went 3-3 against them SU. Appy State played 4 bowlers and went 2-2 SU. If Appy state played all 6 of the teams that Ohio played - they wouldn’t be in a bowl game. If Ohio played the 3 teams that Appy state played (except Clemson),they would be 11-1 IMO. Wrong team favored IMO.
Georgia State +1 (3 units) over San Jose State.
San Jose comes in this bowl at 5-6 SU while Ga Sourthern arrives at 5-5. DS played a good defense against bowlers except for Getting manhandled by Oregon. Remove the Oregon game and all of a sudden GS looks much better on paper. This game opened with SJoe favored by 5, but since then, its done to -1. Defensively GS has the better defense and a slightly better offense IMO so Im on the dog in this one.
Arky State +2 (3 units) over La Tech.
Arky State brings back 9 starters on offense from LY and 6 defensive players. They are seasoned and due for a big game against a foe that stunned Illinois on last years bowl game. LT should be favored by much more if the current team was as good as last year, but they are considerably weaker IMO and could get beat in this one.
Will post games as the bowl season continues,
BOL to all.
