Bowl
Status Updates: The
University of Michigan Athletic Department has sent out an e-mail informing
season ticket holders that it’ll be one of the following Bowls for Michigan,
which will be announced on Sunday, December 8th:
Texas Bowl - Houston, December 27th
Buffalo Wild Wings – Tempe, December 28th
Gator Bowl –Jacksonville, January 1
Opponents for each of those could be Texas, Texas Tech,
and probably Georgia….in that order. The
prognosticators and bowl projection folks have us in the Gator on January
1. I’m not buying it, but the
Cornhuskers losing may have helped Michigan’s cause and I believe the Texas
bowl would have the Longhorns as an opponent and I’m sure Nebraska would rather
play Texas than Georgia. That's the beauty of
the B1G when you share the dough….Pick the match-up you like and the final
season results don’t really matter.
Minnesota would end up in the Wild Wings against Tech….We’ll see.
Coaching
Updates: In case you
haven’t heard, Sarkisian in at USC and out at Washington but the BIG RUMOR is
that Boise State’s Peterson is seriously looking at the Washington Job. Why he didin’t consider it before Sarkasian
took it the last time is beyond me…But now it’s looking good to him? Oh well…the Coaching Carousel is in full spin…
FMQ!It’s championship week and we have to at least try to get even for the year and it appears there are several opportunities that the bookmakers are laying out there for people just like us that need help!
I may be reading the tea leaves wrong here, but I do see
opportunity!
Oklahoma
@ Okie State (-10): I
KNOW I should take Oklahoma here, but the Laters haven’t covered the spread in
this game in awhile and Okie State still has an outside shot at the NC. I think they will show up and crush their
instate rival…
Take
Okies State and lay the 10 for $40
Texas
@ Baylor (-14): This
one is tricky. I honestly believe that
Baylor will win this game, but there’s always a chance that the Longhorns rise
to the occasion and somehow manage to upset the upstarts! ORRRR….the shorthorns show up and fall
completely on their face…I'm betting the former.
Take
Texas and the 14 for $50
Stanford
(+3) vs. ASU: Will
this be T. Graham’s last game before leaving for a better “gig”? There’s so many opportunities to add another
million or so to his bottom line and the jobs are probably better than what he
perceives he has…I still don’t know how the Cardinal fell off and lost to the
teams they lost to...
I’ll
take Stanford and the 3 for $60
Duke
(+30) vs. FSU: This
game “on paper” should be over in the 2nd quarter. HOWEVA’, I do believe that the Blue Devils
may hang around longer than people think in this one and a late TD could be the
deciding factor – either way.
I’ll
take Duke and the 30 for $30
Mizzou
(+2) vs. Auburn: This
is a truly fascinating game. Auburn has
had two miracle wins in a row and there seems to somehow be this belief that
they are the team of destiny. And the “upset” pick of the week is Sparty over
the suckeyes…But I see Mizzou taking advantage of this opportunity and
upsetting the SEC WEST!
Take
Mizzoi and the 2 for $75
Sparty
(+5.5) vs ohio: Looking
only at how these two teams played Michigan (One at Michigan Stadium and one at
Spartyland), I’m very much inclined to take Sparty and the points in this one…But
I hate to go against Urban Crime Legend as he has a tendency to perform well in
these games. Eh, I guess I’m green this
week…
Take
Sparty and the 5.5 for $60
PARLAY! (6 to 1)
Sparty-Mizzou-Stanford
for $50
