Bowl Games

Love these rumors of Saban going to Texas.  Be more of a mercenary Saban.

Now people are always upset with the Stream during bowl season.  35 games and I only pick a few.  Two games last year (2-0, nbd).  Starting with three games this year.


+ Bowl Plays --

Utah St (+1.5) - Northern Illinois
Oklahoma St (+1.5) - Missouri
Georgia Tech (+3) - Mississippi


Last Week: 1-0
Season: 84-50-3 (62.7%)

PS - The Stream continues to expand and sharps in Vegas are noticing.  This isn’t exactly your corner lemonade stand anymore.  Probably going to sell the website to the highest bidder in Vegas eventually.

Following my picks has been free money for 3 years.   Before complaining, maybe next time you’ll think twice and have some respect, heathens.

Week 15 Recap

The college football regular season is essentially over and that is heartbreaking, but we did finish 11-1 in our last dozen games.  Silver lining in every cloud I suppose.

Bowling Green flat out dominated Northern Illinois for four quarters.  Every year there are only a few games where you have a complete edge over the sportsbooks and this was one of those games.  Almost 80% of the bets coming in on the undefeated Northern Illinois Huskies, late line movement in Bowling Green's direction, value on top of value.

The game had everything you could want and expect from MACtion.  Big plays, big hits, fans pulling their pants down for extra points.

Ruthless?  Yes.  But show me one fanbase who doesn't try to get in the head of the opponent's kicker and I’ll show you a fanbase who doesn’t want to win bad enough for my taste.

On a related note, great showing by the San Diego fans this weekend.

In the Big Ten Championship, the entire country outside of Ohio was pulling for a Sparty victory.

Karma.

For some reason I can't explain, a picture of Urban Meyer eating postgame pizza surrounded by his family is sad.

+ Week 15 Winners --

Bowling Green (+4.5) - Northern Illinois


Last Week: 1-0
Season: 84-50-3 (62.7%)

PS - My account took a hit riding all of Kevin's picks from the comment section.  0-3.  Brutal.  

When I checked my account after those three losses:

Double PS - I still think Kevin catches fire during the bowls.  Champions learn from their mistakes and conquer.  That's what Kevin is going to do in bowl season.  Conquer.

Thursday Picks

One pick this week and we're going MACtion.

Bowling Green (+4.5) - Northern Illinois

PS - Northern Illinois is playing without their husky mascot for the first time in nine years.  Can't expect that loss not to have an impact.  Without Diesel giving high fives on the sidelines this may be blowout city.

Week 15

I swear some Streamers broke out in cold sweats when I didn't release any picks locks on Monday.  Lots of variables in play this weekend.  Check back on Thursday.

Kind of unrelated but how big of a boss was Pete Carroll last night?

Wry smile?  Check.   Chomping on his gum?  Check.   Pimp walk?  Check.   Knowing you're the best?  Check mate.
