Week 16 Mega Bets and Bowl Confidence Picks

12/23/2011

The Doofus wore his snazziest Navy gear last weekend

Its that time of year again when way too many bowls are played. Some teams (that would be you UCLA) didn't even qualify to play in a bowl but fired their head coach, got an exemption and head up the coast to play another coaching carousel member - Illinois in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. The Fight Boredom Bowl is more like it.

But for every clunker there are plenty of interesting matchups. And to keep you interested in all the bowls there are Bowl Confidence pools to play in. I'm in two. Last year I was winning one until the Big Ten melted down on New Years Day.

But before we get into the Bowl picks here is:

Week 15 Mega Bets recap:
Houston +3.0 @ Cincinnati - pulled this one out of the backside of the trousers. Houston QB TJ Yates (a Tar Heel no less) scored the winning TD with 2 seconds left to beat fading Cincinnati - Final Texans 20 Bungles 19 WIN

The Doofus has been on a tear lately going 8-2 since the GO JUMBO weekend!!

Week 16 Mega Bets:
Cincinnati -6.5 @ St Louis - Cincinnati has been reeling lately losing three of their last 4. But against a ravaged St Louis secondary, QB Andy Dalton and WR AJ Green should have a field day. Meanwhile a banged up Rams QB Sam Bradford is going to spend much of his time scraping astro pellets off his butt as the Bengals rank 6th in sacks while St Louis has given up the most sacks this year.

The Doofus kept the gang in plenty of good spirits

Good times in the Man Cave last weekend as we watched plenty of championship football. The booze was flowing and the cigars were burning in a rip roaring good time!

Unfortunately, what could have been another classic ending for the Spartans ended in disaster. Trailing 42-39, MSU returned punt to the Wiscy 1. It set up what would have been an phenomenal ending. 1:49 left, no time outs, first and goal at the one. A TD to win, field goal to go to OT. Epic

But noooo- there is a flag. MSU runs into the punter. Bucky goes into the victory formation and runs out the clock. Lame Lame Lame.

But the Doofus had third straight great week going 2-1 as:

Week 14 Recap
Baylor -3.0 vs Texas -  Baylor scored the most points ever against Texas and set records for home wins and Big 12 wins as they rocked the Longhorns on Saturday. Texas QB Case McCoy got Texas up early 21-14 but then melted down with 5 turnovers. Baylor got the lead 24-14 with 50 seconds left in the half and never looked back. Final Baylor 48 Cows 24 WIN

Float like a butterfly - piss like a bee

Had a choice to make this weekend - whether to go to the Iron Bowl (Alabama @ Auburn) or an Old Fashioned Hate (Georgia at Georgia Tech).

Being a good Dad, I gave the oldest son the Iron Bowl tickets and watched the game in the Flats. Both home teams lost but still a great weekend of College Football.

Speaking of which - the Doofus was on fire last weekend going 3-1 on the Mega Bets and 3-0 on the Mini Megas. Too bad last weekend wasn't the GO JUMBO weekend. I would have cleaned up. Of course - my personal effects would have be strewn across the front lawn when I got home but that's another story for another day.

It's Championship Weekend with the MAC, CUSA, Pac 12, Big Ten, ACC, SEC and for all intents and purposes the Big 12 all putting on championship games. I'll be watching the games with the Whiskey Swilling Cigar Chomping Football Society in the newly heated Man Cave. Good times will be had by all!

And I will be rooting for

Week 14 Championship Weekend Mega Bets:
Baylor -3.0 vs Texas - Rumors circulate that Texas HC Mack Brown will step down after the season. I think Mark is the source of the rumors. Texas continues to flounder while Baylor will give them a whoppin' while they still can. Bears QB Robert Griffin III is expected to play after suffering a concussion last week. Baylor is giving three equal to the home field advantage - which means these teams are supposedly equal. Don't believe it - Baylor is playing much better than Texas right now. I'll lay the points.

Mega Bets Week 13 Part 3

Not too bad yesterday. The Mega Bets went 1-1 as:

Louisville @ South Florida under 44.0 - This one was looking good as the score was 10-3 with less than a minute left in the first half. But then the scoring erupted with 2 TDs scored before the first half ended. Special teams can be a killer for unders. USF scored a TD and Louisville took the kick off to the USF 25. Louisville then went on a tear in the second half scoring 24 points. Final score Louisville 34 Golden Calves 24 LOSS

Houston -2.5 @ Tulsa - Houston was their normal profcient selves on offense scoring 48 points. Amazingly thier porous defense held Tulsa to 16 points. This one was tight for only a quarter with Tulsa leading 10-6 but then the Cougars exploded on Tulsa scoring 42 more points. Final Houston 48 Golden Shower 16  WIN A mini Mega snagging the under on BC @ Miami and made for a profitable day Some great games on tap today. I'll go with:

Week 13 Mega Bets Part 3
Clemson @ South Carolina under 50.0 - Something has gone haywire with the Clemson offense. Over the last three games they have scored 61 points.South Carolina offense has sucked ever since Marcus Lattimore went down. Over the last three games they have scored even less - posting a mere 56 points. They have been winning with defense. This game should be a low scoring exciting rivalry game.

I'll also take some Mini Megas on:
Wyoming +33.0 @ Boise State - Boise is phenominal against the spread on the road. Not so much at home. Wyoming will put up just enough points to stay within the spread.
