My record on the season was all over the place. Didn't post much, when I did I broke even but didn't invest too much time into CFB in 2015. Back in the glory days of 2004-2005 I would spend some 10+ hours a day capping games but those days are long gone.
Having said that, I always traditionally bet on every single Bowl Game. I place bets of $110 and $275 (big plays).
Lets make some cash folks and LETS GO BOWLING!

NEW MEXICO BOWL
New Mexico Lobos +7.5 ($275 to win $250)
You can't go wrong with the Lobos here. They finished the year covering the spread in three of their last four and they are playing at home against a team missing their RB. New Mexico is playing at home and there is no reason not to compete in this game. I think the Lobos run the ball well, score some points running the ball, they keep the Arizona offense off the field and they obviously have more interest in this game than the Wildcats who came into this thing with some coaching uncertainty. Give me the underdog to kick things off.
Trend of the Game: Arizona is 1-4 ATS in their last five Bowl Games
LAS VEGAS BOWL
Utah Utes -2.5 ($275 to win $250)
I have no choice but to go with Utah. Every single year I seem to fade them in Bowl Games and I pay the price. They have covered the spread in 8 of their last 10 Bowl Games coming into this thing. The numbers for Utah as a favorite were not good this year and I'm not basing this on how they played as a favorite, this is more about QB Travis Wilson and his ability to put points on the board. The Utes is pretty decent too and I will always back Utah in Bowl Games. This is another pretty big play.
Trend of the Game: Utah is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 Bowl Games.
CAMELLIA BOWL
Ohio-Appalachian State 'UNDER' 55.5 ($275 to win $250)
You would think this is some kind of crazy shootout with App State putting up some big points but at the end of the day I see this game being a bit of a sleeper and I don't see too many points being put on the board. Recent trends point to non-stop OVERS for both these teams but isn't that a bit too obvious and a bit too easy here? Looking more at an overall season trend and these two teams combined for only 12 OVERS in 24 games and this is a 50/50. I say this game gets a bit boring, lots of turnovers, some stops on fourth down, some missed FG's and a low scoring affaire.
Trend of the Game: The UNDER is 4-1 in Ohio's last five Bowl Games.
CURE BOWL
San Jose State Spartans -1 ($110 to win $100)
Small play for me on this one. Would have normally sat out but I have to have some kind of action and I'll put it on the Spartans. Georgia State is the HOT play from the public and from all the experts but just because you closed the season hot, doesn't you are going to win in Bowl Games. Never has, never will. San Jose State was favored in 2 of their last 5 games and they won and covered both those games. You have Georgia State who covered and cashed as underdogs all season versus San Jose State who went 5-1 ATS this season as a favorite. Could be a good one. Candidate for Bowl Game of the day (entertainment wise). Small play for me.
Trend of the Game: San Jose State is 4-1 ATS in their last five December games.
NEW ORLEANS BOWL
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs -2 ($110 to win $100)
Arkansas State-Louisiana Tech 'UNDER' 68.5 ($110 to win $100)
Two plays for me on this one. That's somewhat rare but I see Louisiana Tech winning this one by a score of say 31-27 hence the small play on both. You expect fireworks in this game too with both teams scoring a crap load of points but I'm not buying it. Arkansas State went OVER the total 8 straight games to finish the season but Louisiana Tech went UNDER in three of their last five but a few of those by very small margins. I see that here again. Something funky like an overtime win or a missed FG. Both teams were big time OVER cashing teams this year which is why I'm taking a shot at the UNDER. It's a big total.
Trend of the Game: The UNDER is 4-0 in Louisiana's last four games played in December.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!
