Default Why Are Bowl Games So Unpredictable?

I will tell you why

LONG LAYOFF

Who would of thought when the season ended WVA was 10x the team Oklahoma was??

Yeah...right. So you have nailed every bowl game up to now? I doubt it.

You think almost 2 months of layoff is a lot jj? A team of monkeys can prepare for a single bowl game if they have that time to knock off their injuries, study film, scrimmage against other team's offense or defense, spy on their opponent's practices, offered money from bookies, and the list is so long...

What makes you think he has nailed every bowl game? He just said the long layoff makes them unalbe to predict.

Long layoff is one.

Two, bowl games are not traditional matchups. Oklahoma has never seen an offense like WVU before.

Three, coaching changes - who knows how the team will react? Michigan stepped up and won one for Carr. WVU beat the shit out of OK without a coach.

I"m 6 and 0 this year for bowl games. But I dont' bet every game and I watched last night. I almost pulled the trigger on the 2nd half because I didn't understand the line but didn't.
