Gravy Plays for the Bowl Season Thread

[Gravy]

Just to let everybody know I'm going to keep my plays in this thread instead of starting one up for each day to keep it simple for me.With that here are my plays for Sat 12/20:

Navy (+3) I know that this is great line value if you like Wake Forest in this game but Navy is going to pound that running game all over the Demon Deacons and controling the clock in this game which is vital for them here.Just not sold on QB Riley Skinner as he is prone to make mistakes and like the fact that Navy is disciplined and playing in front of the home folks basically right down the road from Annapolis and has covered 4 straight bowl games and win outright 24-13.

Colorado State(+3) -Bought Half Point- What I like here is we get the more hungrier team here in the Rams that are happy to be playing in this game instead of a team that is banged up on defense like Fresno State and have had distractions like Pat Hill interviewing for the Washington Huskies and not playing in a bigger bowl game might be their undoing here.Not a game to unload on but my gut feeling tells me that the Rams win late here in a shootout.

Memphis(+11.5) Basically a home game for the Bulls playing in Tropicana Field but have been a major flop this year IMO.Matt Grothe is the heart and soul if this team but he makes dumb mistakes in games and with no proven run game to help him out the game will be on him.If Memphis can establish a running game here will be the key to the game here for me.If not could be a long late afternoon for them but the way South Florida has played this year Im not giving double digits to anybody including Memphis here .

BYU (+3.5) Well this is a like another home game for BYU as it will be a pro BYU crowd in the stands in Vegas for them.Not sold on Mike Stoops as a good coach and sneaked in here to a bowl game.I like Tuitiama as a QB but he make critcal mistakes in a game.This game is won the trenches and I think BYU big offensive line will give Max Hall time to pass to pick apart that Wildcat Defense and win a 31-24 tye game here.

WOW I Cant believe I picked 4 dogs on Saturday but that's what Im coming up with for Saturday.BOL to everybody on Saturday and hoping everybody has a profitable bowl season ! Gravy

Gravy, I am on the same games as you. Lets Krack some Nutts .:toast: LTarty:

Not buying half pt for Navy too?

We were in total agreement until the bottom. Love ARI to beat up on BYU. ARI's "D" impressed me against USC & Ore St. I guess if they play motivated, they play well.

BOL Gravy, look forward to the rest of your bowl pix! I sure hope we all scoop.

Gravy, Best of luck today today! I too like all the dogs today maybe some Moneylines for the MoneyShot also. In fact the only favorite I took today is Mount Union -6.

Thxs Wormy but didnt need to buy a half point as I had Navy +3.If Arizona is focused than they will give BYU all they want but think that BYU will give them fits all night with both the ground and passing attack.Max Hall will be the deciding factor for BYU tonight IMO.

Hard luck start Gravy, but Navy gm was a crock! Keep posting your thoughts and picks tho, you never know when the Bowl streak can start! I'm going to the Hawaii Bowl this wed, and actually think ND will win. So I'm thinking of playing ND, so at the least I'll be happy with either outcome! Not putting all my eggs in one basket, so to speak.

Like TCU tomorrow too, even tho I'd like BSU to win. TCU has just had a way tougher schedule, and a great bowl record. However, their last bowl loss was against Boise, 5 yrs ago!

Well Im back after a little time off from last Saturday 1-3 ATS start to the bowl season and see if I can turn the ship around on Friday night.Here is what I like in the Motor City Bowl.

C Michigan (-7) I know that Howard Schnellenberger is 5-0 in bowl games coming into this game but this is basically a home game for Central Michigan playing in front of a half filled Ford Field with mostly C Michigan fans in the stands.Also lets not forget that Florida Atlantic suspended 4 Starters for this game and 2 of them are on the offensive line which was weak to begin with so they have no continuity on the line now which spells bad news imo for the Owls.Also losing their Kicker doesnt help either and see how much confidence the coach has in the replacement.Also the Owls play in the weak Sun Belt conference even though the won 5 out of their last 6 they played in but 2-5 on the road this year.

C Michigan comes in losing their last 2 games and looking at the teams they played this year they beat the MAC Champs Buffalo & Western Michigan this year and are lead by QB Dan LeFevour and RB Omar Sneed in their Spread attack offense.But injuries have happered them lately but have to think the time off here for this bowl game has healed some of the troops like defense which has been a sore spot lately.

My thinking is this will be a high scoring affair but I thinking that Central Michigan will outscore them enough to get the cover here and control the clock when they have to late in the game and pull out the cover here and win here by 10-13 points here.BOL to everybody on Friday Night playing this game.Gravy
