$$$MR. MARKET$$$ College Football Bowl Pick Extravaganza

[mrmarket]

Miami (OH) the MAC king will take apart Louisville, an also-ran in Conference USA. The MAC is a much stronger conference which Miami (OH) clearly dominated. Miami already pounded Bowling Green (twice) and Marshall, teams that are far superior to Louisville. Miami (OH) is rated #4 in the country on the Sagarin computer. I have them as 25 - 30 points better than Louisville.

This one gets ugly early. Miami needs a huge finish to put an exclamation point on an amazing season. Louisville just wants to finish their season.

I'm laying 14 points taking Miami (OH) with 3 units.

Mr. Market,
You have never been more correct. Miami is so good it is shocking. I went to BG and live close to where Rothlesberger came from. He only became a QB in his senior year in high school ,yet he has dominated at every level of play. Many said this was the best BG team in it's history but they were dominated by Miami twice this year. Miami could have an off game and still win by 14. Too bad MAC schools don't have a chance with the BCS . How can a team get in to the elite grouping from a so called lower level conference? They can't.

ouch! Lost 2 big bets in a row..now down 7 units....Why did it take Boise St. until the 2nd half to realize that you're supposed to nail the QB when he runs the option??

The only one that really matters...Alamo Bowl...Big Red by 7 1/2

Ernie...Maybe you better stick to the stock market :lol:

...down 7 units so far with Bowl week coming up!

Oh, huge one, why would you go against the 'Huskers last night in a prime-time bowl game? You know that they usually rock the house in such situations. Are you starting to call this Bowl WEAK? :lol: :o

Well, I quit...One for One...I'll call it a year :lol:

I guess that only meant if you were correct with your picks. Seems you have now had five straight losers Sat. thru Monday, and we haven't heard a peep out of you on this thread. Seems like you oughta stick to stock-picking, something you do fairly well at. The only thing 'huge' about your football picks is the amount of lo$$es piling up. :lol:

For what it is worth, I like Auburn - 3, Oregon + 3 1/2, Southern Mississippi +2, Arkansas - 2 1/2 and Boston College - pick 'em today. 8)

[The Kid]

Actual linear action from this morning:

Auburn - 3
Oregon + 5
Southern Mississippi + 2
Arkansas - 3
Boston College pick 'em

Hooked up Auburn with Southern Miss. and Auburn w/ Arkansas as well.

You gotta love the Ducks with five points. :)

Here I sit on New Year's Day at -25 units.....not a good bowl season for $$$MR. MARKET$$$....

[The Kid]

Cheer up, oh Huge One, 2004 has $tarted off better for you. Your first three picks of the day are looking good. Maybe you can go 4 - 1 like I did ye$terday. :) (I like your Florida State pick, but I disagree with your Rose Bowl selection. I think the Trojans will play like they have something to prove and the Wolverines will play like, well...the Wolverines. USC and the under for me, as Michigan's defense is pretty good and 59 1/2 is a whole lotta points.)

[mrmarket]

I'm still down 25 units with only 5 games to go...woe is me.

[mrmarket]

only 2 games left..down 28 units! What a wipe out!

[mrmarket]

Holy Schmoly...down a total of 35 units for the bowl season. I hope mean reversion theory applies!
