Another split yesterday on a couple of small bets.
Navy -3.5 vs Pitt - Navy QB Keenan Reynolds got back the record for TDs when he put away Pitt. The sax Man and I were talking about how he should have been flown in for the Heisman presentation on a Navy chopper. That would have been cool. Navy blew out Pitt 44-28 WIN
Central Michigan +5.5 vs Minnesota - Well there is one stat to remember for next year. All three teams that entered into a bowl with a 5-7 record - won! CMU took the lead with 11 minutes to go 14-13 but Minnesota countered with a nice 7 minute TD drive to win the game 21-14 LOSS
Three games on tap for today. Two look to be high scoring starting with:

Three games on tap for today. Two look to be high scoring starting with:
Air Force +7.0 vs Cal - Another contrast in styles. Air Force does that service academy thing and run it all day long. For Cal its bombs away.
Both teams play better defense then they have in the past but not enough to slow the others attack.
Its time to up the betting I'll take Air Force and the points for a Mini Mega and another MM on the over 66.0
North Carolina +2.5 vs Baylor - Another two high powered attacks meet at 5 today. Baylor is #1 in yards per play while UNC is #2.
Baylor was riding high coming into November ranked number 4 and looking towards playing in the playoffs. Then their QBs started dropping like flies. The BVears were forced to use four difeerent QBs as they lost three of their last four.
Heel HC Larry fedora started the year on the hot seat and ended it with a 7 year extension as Carolina finished the regular season on an 11 game winning streak.
Ironically, UNC is 0-2 in Charlotte, where they game is being played, having lost in the first game of the season to South Carolina and ending the season with a loss in the ACC championship game.
I'll put a Mini Mega on the Heels to finally win in the Queen City. WIth the baylor QB situtation I'll pass on a big bet on the over 70 but I'll lay a quatloo just to have fun.
Colorado State -3.0 vs Nevada - Two teams from the same conference in a bowl? Yup there are too many bowls.
Nevada struggled offensiely this year finishing 83rd in yards and 87th in points. CSU 's offense is solid, balanced but not spectacular. It should be enough to get by an OK Nevada defense.
This game should be a yawner. Fortunately I won't have to watch it. It's not being broadcast.
I'll lay a quatloo on CSU to cover.
