    Good move buying the point.
    Talk about oddsmakers nailing that one, they had L'ville -2.5 and 58 as the total.
    Had the over, thought it was a lock at halftime then a scoreless 3rd made me sweat...till the back to back TD's to start the 4th.
    Was a very good game, first bowl game to be competetive.
    Has anyone eaten at a Beef O'Brady's? Never heard of them before.

    I've never heard of Beef O'Brady's either. Those commercials cracked me up.

    Nice work on the over. Weird game last night. Definitely thought I was gonna get screwed when Louisville got the ball back at the end of the game. and again when so miss got the ball at their own 2 (a safety would have really sucked there)

    I like boise a lot tonight. I know double digit favorites don't historically do well in bowls, but I think boise wins by 30 tonight. utah isn't that good and boise usually plays with a chip on their shoulder in these bowl games.

    Assuming Boise isn't wallowing in self pity for blowing their shot at a BCS bowl against Nevada, they should blow Utah's doors off...often teams who feel they should be in a bigger game don't fare well...it'll be up to BSU's coaches to get the players in the proper frame of mind...if they do they should win 38-10.

    yeah, the toughest part of figuring out who to bet on in these bowls is trying to determine which team has more motivation. though boise fell short of their preseason goal, I think they will be ready to smack utah tonight.

    this is all I need to know...boise wins big tonight. I'm locked in at 16

    WHAT TO WATCH: Tempers. The two teams already tangled during one pregame welcoming dinner, and Utah receiver DeVonte Christopher referred to Boise State as "Girlse State" on Twitter.

    Took BSU -16.5.
    Pissed at myself, almost took prop for first score to be a FG or safety at +250 then talked myself out of it.

    Apparently went for 2 and failed.
    Why go for 2 there? I didn't see it, makes no sense, but Oregon does that as well, if they think they see something they go for 2.

    Boise should have won that game by 30. Wasn't easy, but I'll take another win.

    I HATE when teams go for two. If I was a coach I would only go for two when I had to at the end of the game. nothing worse than leaving points on the field. Lane Kiffin is the absolute worst with this.

    I jumped on Navy +4 and pitt -13.5 tonight (I'm all about buying points). Let's keep winning.

    I was considering under 60 in Navy/SDSU because of the quagmire that is sunny San Diego currently.
    Field was a lake yesterday.

    the over in a cowboys game this year is money in the bank. nice way to start off the weekend last night.

    big play on the ravens...won with detroit and washington. lost on jets. overall looking good heading into the 4's.

    like the bucs in the 2nd half of a tease, and got 'em -3.5 straight up...tease with the pack/over in the texans game....


    hope everyone else is winning money today too.

    Tuesday night football...I smell a new TV bonanza for the NFL.

    I kinda like Mizzou laying 2.5 to Iowa in the Insight Bowl.
