I am 3-0 on my first 3 Bowl Best Bets, as my 2-Star Best Bet on Nebraska won 33-0 over Arizona. Actually, all 3 of my Best Bets have won easily, as Wyoming won straight up as an 10 1/2 point dog and SMU won 45-10 as a 12 1/2 point dog. I also won my only Strong Opinion so far with Utah upsetting Cal. So far I'm 3-0 on Best Bets, 1-0 on Strong Opinions, and 11-7-1 on leans after after counting Bowling Green as a loss even though the line was at +1 on game day (and winning a lean on the AZ-Neb Under). My Bowl Math plays (56% chance of covering or higher) are 1-0 with Utah beating Cal and are now 63% lifetime
I'll consider Iowa State a Strong Opinion and I'd take the Cyclones in a 2-Star Best Bet at +3 points or more (at -1.10 odds). I have no opinion on the total.
Strong Opinion
LSU 23 Penn St. (-2.5) 20 (at Capital One Bowl)
10:00 AM Pacific, 01-Jan-10
I'll consider LSU a Strong Opinion at +2 points or more and I'd take the Tigers in a 2-Star Best Bet at +3 points or more (at -1.15 odds or better). I have no opinion on the total, but I would lean under if the total gets up to 45 points or more.
