Alf M's College Bowl Games Thread [B]269 Oregon +3 -113[/B]
I still have Oregon as the chalk, we got the results we were looking for with Auburn blowing out South Carolina in the SEC Championship, and we are not waiting for the market or the sharps to take + money or + points. Pinnacle first to post up as Twoniner has mentioned and Pinny has a drop-down box to get to different numbers.
The fact that the M and the Wynn sportsbooks both had Oregon -4.5 up for sale all last week and now Auburn after beating SC is a 7.5 swing?? No bleeping way. Where were all the Auburn backers LW not taking +4.5?
These teams will have had 6 weeks off until they play next. Cam Newton will have won the Heisman Trophy and the hype will be unbearable. 6 weeks off = crapshoot. I like HC Chip Kelly (who just won the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award) and his staff to have the better game plan.
[B]208 Southern Miss +4[/B]
The line is down to +2.5 across the board and as much as I like HC Larry Fedora and this offense, cannot recommend at this price having crossed two key numbers.
[B]241 Central Florida +7[/B]
Georgia faced IMO just one good defense the entire season and that team was South Carolina with a result of 6-17 in favor of the Gamecocks. UCF ranks #18 on defense is balanced on offense and dominated the Conf USA East. Get plus the full TD here.
[B]249 Michigan St +11[/B]
We'll take the better team plus the points. Yes, the Spartans are live in this game, because plain and simple Alabama is not nearly as good as last year (Auburn surely proved that point) and they are living off it's National Championship. Heisman RB Mark Ingram is not close to having the same results and a mediocre SR YR with suffering injuries. Mich St HC Mark Dantonio recruited Mark Ingram and was an assistant coach under Bama HC Nick Saban....motivation indeed. Both teams stop the run well and on offense I'll give the edge to the Spartans who averaged 31.4 points per game. Alabama will be without All-American safety Mark Barron who has a torn pectoral muscle.
