Bowl Spreads

[o_dawgnabit]

Which bowl game spreads interest y'all the most? I like Penn State being only a 2 point favorite over Washington. I just don't think Washington has the athletes that PSU has. I also like USC being a +7.5 to Ohio State.

I like PSU as well. But I think OSU destroys USC.

Last I saw UL was favored by 7 over us. A UL cover seems like a lock.

Yep. I think that’s easy money too unfortunately. I just never bet against the dawgs. Can’t bring myself to do it.

If I play any games it will only be the playoff games. Right now the only lean I have is Clemson and thats only for action. I usually stay away from bowls for my sanity.

Smart choice. Any other bowl and it's a crapshoot which team will show up to play, or if either of them do.

I'm a fan of spicy pimento on Cajun french rounds.

FSU -15.5 against USM.

I think FSU rolls in this game. USM just doesn't have the athletes to compete. This might be a 6-6 FSU team, but they will steamroll with Akers running the ball.

I won big money betting against the Dogs this year in the Auburn and Alabama games. I just took Bama moneyline this year in a parlay. I didn’t bet the spread bc I thought we’d play them
close but I didn’t have the stones to bet it.

No chance.. USC leads the nation in sacks and Barrett struggles under pressure. OSU also struggles in the secondary and they haven't seen WRs as good as SC has.

The Tennessee game showed that USM is in a different class physically from even a bad P5 team. I realize they got jobbed pretty bad by the officials in that game, but UT manhandled them for the most part. If FSU has any interest in this game whatsoever, should be a similar outcome, but that is the question.

USC has a garbage OL and OSU has the best DL in the country.

Edit: also, USC has the 56th ranked rush D in the country, OSU has the 15th ranked offense in the country at 5.88 YPC.

Ohio St is gonna dominate the LOS on both sides all game.

I agree, unfortunately. Though we started our #2 QB in that game. Maybe it would have been different if we had our starter in.

If FSU comes out motivated, we don’t have much of a chance. FSU is still really talented despite their record. If they come out flat then maybe it’s a game.

It’s a pretty poor matchup for USM overall. BC or UVA would have been better opponents for us.

Oh..thought this was a chicken nugget thread. Nevermind.

SC has a 1500 yard RB.. their OL isn't garbage.. they lost 3 starters in the middle of the season and had some inexperienced guys behind them. They don't pass block as well as they run block but they will be able to run the ball. Iowa ran for almost 250 yards and over 6 ypc against OSU and they have nowhere near the talent level.

USC ran for 76 yards against ND while allowing 377.

We can cherry pick games if you like, doesn’t tell the whole story.
