Happy New Years Yinz!
I get to be off the next couple o’ days so it will be college football, food, a few adult beverages, and much school work.
I’m 62/107 overall $2050/$1000…so I don’t ned to make any crazy bets to break even. Might bet just one game, the LSU v UCF event.
So, in the background of my days will be the following:
Stanford at Pittsburgh – Hyundai Sun Bowl – Mon, Dec 31, 2:00 PM ET – The Tree are a 4 point favorite. I like to think that my Beloved Panthers can cover. But I’m not betting any money on it.
#22 Northwestern at #17 Utah – San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl – Mon, Dec 31, 7:00 PM ET – The Cats are a 7 point dog at Da ‘Utes. The Cats can cover, and even win outright if they show up.
#18 Mississippi State at Iowa – Outback Bowl – Tue, Jan 1, 12:00 PM ET – The Bulldogs are a 7 point favorite, Iowa covers.
#11 LSU at #8 UCF – Playstation Fiesta Bowl – Tue, Jan 1, 1:00 PM ET – It’s a pick ’em and I pick the Tigers to put this second level UCF team in it’s place. I’ll put $100 on that.
#14 Kentucky at #12 Penn State – Vrbo Citrus Bowl – Tue, Jan 1, 1:00 PM ET – K is a 6.5 point dog, PSU Covers.
#9 Washington at #6 Ohio State – Rose Bowl Game Presented By Northwestern Mutual – Tue, Jan 1, 5:00 PM ET – THE GRAND-DADDY OF THEM ALL. The Rose Bowl. The Big 10 and the Pac-12 take this game VERY SERIOUSLY. As they should. Washington is getting 7, the Buckeyes cover.
#15 Texas at #5 Georgia – Allstate Sugar Bowl – Tue, Jan 1, 8:45 PM ET – Texas is getting 13 and G does not cover.

It’s do or die now. Some Great games coming up.
Army covered and now I’m 59/105 overall $1950/$1000, I’m beating the Stock Market so far. Let’s go with $100 per game.
#10 Florida at #7 Michigan – Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl – Sat, Dec 29, 12:00 PM ET – The Gators are 5 point dogs against M. This will depend what Michigan team shows up. M has a bunch of starters who are sitting out so that they don’t get injured before the NFL draft. While I understand this business decision, it shows me that there is no loyalty or cohesion at M. They don’t beat the spread.
#3 Notre Dame at #2 Clemson – Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic – Cfp Semifinal – Sat, Dec 29, 4:00 PM ET – The Good Catholic boys are 12 point dogs against Clemson. I just don’t think that The Golden Domers have a chance against Clemson’s outstanding defense. Clemson covers.
#4 Oklahoma at #1 Alabama – Capital One Orange Bowl – Cfp Semifinal – Sat, Dec 29, 8:00 PM ET – Oklahoma is a 14 point dog against possibly the greatest program in the history of college football. Nick Saban is simply amazing. Every year his teams are great. They beat this spread.
