    Default Secrets to capping bowl games.

    Offer what has worked for you. Throw out some under rated strategies and shoot holes in strategies you think are over rated.

    Over rated: Traditional match-up capping
    Look at a game Like Troy vs Rice. It looks like a great match-up for the Owls potent rushing attack. But with 3 weeks to prepare this match-up advantage is far less valuable.

    Under rated: Coaching
    Look at Penn St vs Tenn. This could be a bad example because of Tenn's raw talent adantage. But Joe Paterno has led bowl dogs to victory since Moby Dick was a minnow.

    I think The Prick would be a better fade. Maybe you should get him to give you his plays for the Bowls John, then fade him.

    If you could find a JJ Gold / John consensus play you could fade it and just spend the money. They hit at a 100% clip.

    That contest is not how anyone would bet because you have to pick 15 games. I do intend to win it however .

    When in doubt, take the points. Because these teams have had a month off, the talent edge doesn't factor in as much, plus both teams are geared up for the game, which leads to a lot of underdogs covering and winning outright.

    I also try and go with teams new to bowl games, since they might be more enthusiastic, and go against the middle teams in the big conferences who might not match the intensity of the newer team.

    Their running game is pretty solid, but who is going to cover Jarrett Dillard?
