doesn't make you think twice? i bet colorado before leavitt left at -2.5. bet ok state at 3.5 when the news came out. i officially don't have a position on the game. but it's worth noting, especially when you are basing your reasoning on defensive metrics. it may have no effect at all.
I've taken it into consideration and its been noted multiple times. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to say.
Liberty Bowl No picks from me. The game opened at a pk em and early action pushed Georgia to favorite status for the past week. This morning it jumped all the way to TCU -3 despite 64% of the bets coming in on Georgia according to sportsinsights. I think this game is either a bet on TCU or no bet at all. Because of Georgia's affinity for grabbing INTs and TCU QB's affinity for throwing them (almost as many INTs and TDs), I'm choosing not to bet.
So long as 28 points come in the 2nd half, I am on board with this Well let's make that 31 points after they missed that field goal
Music City Bowl If Nebraska wasn't missing their QB and leading WR, I would have a strong play on Nebraska. But I can't bet on an already pedestrian offense (especially on the road, avg. 16 pts.) without two big weapons. I believe Nebraska is also missing a key starter in the secondary. The line has jumped from Tenn -3.5 to Tenn -7 for these reasons (and that 65% of the public is on Tenn). I'm not willing to back Tenn who hasn't played well against a bowl team since Week 2 vs. VT. No pick.
Starting QB is hurt, backup is a walk on with 2 starts (lost at PUR last year beat Maryland this year) Top WR hurt One RB questionable one doubtful AA safety suspended
