Careful men. During the regular season (CFB) Massey was 367-357 (50.6%).

NYK posted LY some very good coaching trends for Head coaches in bowls. Watch for his post about that.
Coaches attitudes make a big difference.

Also, top senior players sitting out not risking injury that would hurt their draft prospects, injured star qbs etc. are good go againsts.
these teams went 3-13 ATS thru 12/31 bowl games. I think star players sitting out has an effect on the rest of the starters. Kinda' "what are we doing bustin our humps & risking injury for a game that means nothing" type thingy.

was gonna' go back and look at his 2018 bowl ratings to see if I could discern any trends etc.
this note was posted on there:

Note: historical ratings have been re-computed, and may differ slightly from original postings due to updated data or algorithm modification

Last year's bowl record picking the team with the lowest rank, started out 14-3, then tailed off to 9-14, ending up 23-7.

After his RE-COMPUTE, they started out 15-3,then went 14-6 for a 29-9 talley. I don't know if he backfitted it or what, I hope he improved the bowl outcomes. Just hope he didn't screw it up.

sorry about the white on black, don't know what I did to make it like that.

or not. It improved the bowl record considerably. Just hope he didn't screw it all up.

If I’m looking at the Massey D numbers correctly...it concerns me that almost all the games (only looking to 12/31) will require taking the the fav... and we know that never works out well. I see FIU as the only dog with better D. Opinions ?!

 

[doogieboy]

...also FAU

[Biz]

Buffalo Winner

1-0

 

[Bruins4Life]

It's on to Utah St

 

[Conelauncher]

1-1. SD St., Geo S., and FAU early today.

 

[Bruins4Life]

Saturday plays with current odds:

SD St -3.5
Geo So -5
FAU +7
FIU +1
Wash St _3.5
App St -17

 

[Conelauncher]

Awful tough to lay money on FAU. C. Mich has got a fighting chance to cover too.

 

[Conelauncher]

2-1 so far today. 3-2 overall.

 

[Biz]

4-3 with APPALACHIAN ST -16.5 pending

 

[Conelauncher]

4-4 overall. UCF -16 on 12/23 is next.

I saw somewhere that it does not do well when there is a DD dog but not sure if this is true. Although we had one yesterday will App. Just a heads up.

 

[Conelauncher]

Makes sense. Good info
