_____________

Louisv / S Miss - Over 57

Navy / S Diego St - Over 60.5

Tulsa / Hawaii - Over 73

I'm liking Southern Miss to win tonight outright!



All I keep hearing about this game is that Southern Miss's Defense has been a bit sloppy in its last three or four games. They've been giving up a lot of points.

BUT...they have a damn good QB who can put up some numbers. I think he'll be able to make up for a sub-par Defense. And not for nothing, if the defense can hold Louisville to 30 points or less, they should win. Hell, they might even win if they give up 40.

I guess this means I like the as well.

I'm not putting too much stock in to this pick, but I'll be rooting for the Golden Eagles tonight!

Louisv / S Miss - Over 57

Thank you, remain undefeated in Bowls baby!!

5 - 0

Um, if you dont have Boise? Then youre the best dog thinker ever if you predict Utah can beat them lol not only the -17 theyre laying, but Man, if Utah upsets Boise? All were going to have to listen to is that Boise St wasnt motivated after the loss, and blah blah, theyll be motivated, thats a no brainer, if there really even is such a thing?!??! GL dude! I got points coming.... again!! We'll see!

Yeah, I've got Boise. I'm putting 29 solid confidence points on them. Last night I only backed SMU with 3 confidence points, so I'm going in with a little more SWAGGER for this game.

I think we can both be happy when Boise State wins by two TDs.

Okay, for tonight's game, we have San Diego St vs. Navy.


My thoughts on this game are that San Diego State has a good QB and they do a LOT of passing. Navy, on the other hand, can't do that. They grind it out, run it in your face, and punch you in the mouth. Navy either does this by strategy, or because they don't have a skilled enough QB or receivers.

If the Aztecs take the lead at half time, the Midshipmen will have no choice but to throw it, and that would be out of their element.

I think the spread here is 3½...the ultimate hook. If I was betting ATS, I would go with Navy +3½ (gotta ThinkDog). But, I only need to pick a winner in my College Bowl Pick'Em League. (Thank goodness, because I need more help in the sportsgambling area. Good thing I know the Rainmaker!)

So......... San Diego State it is!

ok, well the only thing ill say id kinda disagree with is thinking navy will get away from running the ball ... if theyre down 40? Theyll be running the ball LoL

that wont stop at any point of this game, and Now lets look at SD St Rush D... near 50th, which is ok-ish, but lets throw in the weather, and a team that plays mis-matches and hides what theyre doing until the last poss second, you know why Navy is successful doing that? #1 Dobbs knows it well and has the Kapernick type ability to run, throwing the ball? Not so much lol I really dont think navy will get down 14 or whatever, and just think theyll get back into the game changing what they do, and keep in mind man, Weather out there? Oh that so helps Navy... Seen a Muddy Navy game lately? Oh boy have we/they LoL, they dont care, and that uncanny offense and trickeration will have SD St Plenty off their feet, much less Special teams in a weather game plays a pretty important role too, ill expect 14-21 points from not just returns for TD's, but I mean 14-21 points resulting FROM something the spec teams did, meaning a run back for 60 that came up short to the 15 and shit you know what I mean?

So um, I expect points galore my friend!

Much less Navy we know will be well supported. they love coming here because Obv the base is right there, so this will be an even crowd IMO, much less the fans/people just rooting for Navy out of principle and shit, so the neutral fans Id expect would want to see Navy show up, so Man, Listen 3500 Passing Yds and 26 TD's? Up against that VAUNTED NBavy Defense? LoL Come on!!


line went from 6 and 60 to 3 and 58, so whats that say? A Bunch of people Pounded Navy to Cover, enough people took them SU ML, and the line went SWOOOSH!! To Obv get everyone on SD to cover a FG for all the Favorite Bettors whove been getting killed all bowl season!!! LOL

You know the sign on the door used to read Thinkdog Larry, but that doesnt mean we need to close our eyes to it, so I like youre thinking other than Navy will stop running the ball at any point of the night!!

41 - 38, Mud Bowl if need be, wewont know until we see the field and the conditions etc, but whatever, show me points, Id have to assume to thinkdog wiith anything over a FG i suppose, since they did drag that line there for a reason, but you do what you need to for your SU Pool thing, and Ill go over, and Ill hope youre the 41 of the 38 then LoL

Good Fortune my brother!!

Wow. The Rainmaker dropping some knowledge! This is what I was looking for.

As you can see, I write like a casual fan, and you write like a professional capper.

What do I know? I thought I was a genius when SMU took that early lead!

I'll be watching and rooting!

ahh come on man lol

you know me too well but were all fans man, its no big diff how we write, youre cool man, you know what you see too, but anyway, GL and one more tomorrow!!

Okay! San Diego State soundly took care of Navy. Navy trailed all game and tried to come back late with some passing, but sadly they couldn't compete in that area. INTs, frustration, loss. Okay...ON TO THE NEXT!!


Tonight's matchup we have the Hawaii Warriors (10-3 SU) vs. the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes (9-3 SU). Aloha Stadium, Honolulu, HI 8 PM EST Friday December 24, 2010
(as you can see, I'm going to throw in some stats to look a little more professional )


Not for nothing, but I heard that Hawaii is considered the "Away" team? Okay...but they're playing in Honolulu (?)... It doesn't matter much anyway; it's not like they get last ups in the bottom of the ninth.


Hawaii has a great QB. I think he averages like 3 TDs a game. They have one of the best passing teams in college. They should get a LOT of points.

Tulsa also has a good offense. They have a great combined attack of passing and rushing.

The reason I suppose Hawaii is favored by 11 (or 10½ now I think) is because Hawaii has a MUCH better defense. Otherwise, they both have good offenses.

Okay, now for the stats I compiled that I promised!

• Hawaii's D ranks 39th. Tulsa's ranks 107th.
  
• Hawaii has the nation's top-ranked passing offense
  
• Tulsa's Pass Defense ranked almost last among BCS schools
  
• Tulsa's Pass Defense gave up an average of 305 yds per game
  
• Tulsa's Rush Defense is ranked 40th (not too shabby)
  
• Tulsa is ranked 16th in passing yds per game
  
• Tulsa is ranked 15th in rushing yds per game
  
• Hawaii is ranked # 1 in turnovers gained
  

Okay, with all that said, who's going to win?????

I don't know. Luckily, I don't have to play the spread for my Pick'Em League.

I also have somewhat of a personal thing here. My brother-in-law was a starting DL for Tulsa in the late 60s. He was drafted on a four-year scholarship. He said he didn't want to go pro because he wanted to go into business (but I later found out he tried out for The Jets, and even though he was as big as a monster, they said he had short arms and wasn't good enough....he's such a liar!)

...but I digress.

My thought is, you can't tell me Tulsa is going to play Hawaii IN HAWAII and come away with the win. I'll have to see it to believe it. Plus, Hawaii is flat out better.




I think I have a
I'm putting 32 confidence points on it.

You go you handicapper you!! LoL

Very nice Larry, getting better, and youre doing ok so far in your little thingy, so thats cool, I'm glad!

When you win it and beat all the yahoo bastages that dont have the advantage you have, I want a nice bottle of vino or something!! LoL

Hey, Merry Christmas Man!! Amazing we are more than just 'back in contact' if you will, and naturally ill assume we will be around eachother for years ahead again, so obv. Ill talk to you later and good fortune with the rest of the contest my brother!

You know we'll be trying to knock the rest of that out, and Baseball isnt so far away?!?!?! Man 2011, where did 2010 even go?

Ciao!!

ok, well not much will change there for the 26th game w/ Toledo and Fla Int'l

Lines really havent moved a lick since they came out, one of the few so far that have had no movements at all, and Not only for Larry, ofcourse who Ill assume wiill be playing this play because he asked for the help Obv as seen above.... But to bet this puppy too because I have T.O and you don't!

'Cept in this case Ill be the guy backing the Frosh Terrance Owens in his first Bowl.

Remember he had to deal with Boise's Defense.... THEN WENT NUTS!! He finished their year and went 12/2 ratio and played what are atleast decent teams considering to finish the reg. season. So what has Fla Int'l Done enough of to show up? Beaten Troy St? Um ok... And?

What Scored some points? Hit alot of unders though, 6 of their last 8 stayed under for what its worth, but most were all high 50's like we have today, 56 is what it was and IS, i see 56.5 here and there, but I have 56 at diamond....

Dont have the upmost confidence because I think vegas is on the ball here, thats why they havent moved it maybe, but I see The Rockets coming out on top TBH, 36 - 31, and I dont think vegas is as good as they think they are for this call, maybe the late action players may see the line go somewhere, but we shouldnt see much unless everyone starts pounding Toledo and it moves to 3 somehow, but I doubt it!

Toledo by 5!! Rockets take it in the mid 30's and we start the After-Xmas bowls hopefully back on the Over Track again, last couple have stayed under, so we'll see!!

So Larry.... 9 Points on your thingy for Le Rocket to be Le Victor!!

Toledo -1.5 -110
Fla Int'l V Toledo Over 56 -110

For me and whomever obv. lets finish like we started, hot hot hot !! Burn the bitch up!!
