Title: Bowl pick em? Post by: bama87 on December 16, 2013, 10:58:47 AM Are we going to have one. Maybe pick all the games. I am near the bottom so hoping I can finish better than I started.
Any thoughts. Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: 2Stater on December 16, 2013, 11:07:18 AM Are we going to have one. Maybe pick all the games.

Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: Bamaphile on December 20, 2013, 11:03:07 AM Thanks, SC, for all of your work on the picks each week! It's always a fun contest, even if I hold up the totem pole sometimes. :)
Is the bowl contest separate from the rest of the games that we've picked all season, or is everything going to be part of the same contest? I don't care one way or the other; I just didn't know how that was going to work this year. Title: Re: Bowl pick em?

Post by: Marshal Dillon on December 20, 2013, 11:16:32 AM SUPERCOACH or anyone else who might know the answer. The Tulane game has 0 points. How can that be? Also, Georgia is listed as a 9 1/2 point favorite over Nebraska with Murray out injured. Is this a current point spread? Somewhat confusing.

Neither team was favored. So basically you have to pick the outright winner to get it correct. I just double checked and UGA is still a 9 point favorite. Title: Re: Bowl pick em?

Post by: Catch Prothro on December 21, 2013, 08:46:52 PM Wow, what a miserable start. I got too clever with my picks: USC with their third coach this year in a bowl they didn't care about against a motivated Fresno State, San Diego State playing Buffalo in the freezing cold, PAC12 Washington State which should have won but blew big lead against Colorado State (Congrats Coach McElwain), and now the Rajun Cajuns which choked out against S. Alabama 30-8 and cost me a pick late in the season, are fired up and beating Tulane.
Maybe I can shoot for 0-35 and seal my place in history. ??? Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: Catch Prothro on December 21, 2013, 09:03:40 PM Nick Montana. 83 yard pick 6. LA Lafayette 21 Tulane 0. He ain't his daddy.

I have a personal experience with professional gambling. I was working in North Alabama over 30 years ago. One day in a small town in the county, a home "exploded." Luckily, the family was not there. It was a nice home and the guy who owned it was a professional gambler, which is legal if you report your earnings to the IRS. P.S. There was NO gas leak, if you know what I mean. :dog: Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: bama87 on December 30, 2013, 08:38:37 PM My win one for Mack is going to backfire.

Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: ALTideUp on January 04, 2014, 03:29:33 PM Vandy is killing Houston 24-0 at halftime. Unless they beat them 12 times I am not gonna sniff the leader board this year Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: ricky023 on January 04, 2014, 04:32:39 PM Well it is going to be a lonely place down here where I am. I think you call where I am is the basement. lol, RTR!
Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: bama57 on January 06, 2014, 06:43:38 AM I picked 14 correct in last years bowl round, and I have 14 correct picks in this years bowl round. That ain't good for aubarn, I picked them to pull the points tonight. I may change.I just don't like anything about aubarn.

No pressure. :lol: Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: Marshal Dillon on January 06, 2014, 09:46:29 AM Well, I'm 17-17. I've picked Barn for tonight's game.
:popcorn2: Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: N.AL-Tider on January 06, 2014, 10:00:04 AM Out of the top 5 currently, myself and Sqwig are the only two that have Awbren picked. Even if they do beat the Noles I will likely stay at #5 behind bama87 because of the deviation. Not bad for a "first-timer" doing this pick... 8)
Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: 2Stater on January 06, 2014, 10:28:00 AM I fell to 19-15 with the Ball St. loss, but will be very happy in the fact that regardless of what happens tonight, I will have finished over .500, both for the bowls and the year. Not too bad for not being able to pick Thursday winners. :lol2:
Bamaphile, Sqwig and RTR, kudos to you guys! Well done! #+ Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: cbbama99 on January 06, 2014, 05:07:49 PM Well, I'm 17-17. I've picked Barn for tonight's game. :popcorn2: So am I and I also picked barn. So we need Noles to win but not cover. Title: Re: Bowl pick em?

I don't want to have to even think about whether I might want them to win or cover the spread. If I go down in flames, I go down in flames, but I don't pick the barn. Title: Re: Bowl pick em?

Post by: Marshal Dillon on January 06, 2014, 07:41:46 PM I picked Auburn because I think they will beat FSU. FSU plays an ACC schedule so there is no way of knowing just how good they might be. ACC 3-6 in bowls so far.
:popcorn2: Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: ricky023 on January 06, 2014, 09:19:05 PM How did I go from the bottom of the pole to 14th? I ain't that good. Of course guys I picked Auburn because of the SEC schedule as opposed to the ACC schedule. JMHO. RTR!

Late rumors of the line moving made me rethink. Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: cbbama99 on January 06, 2014, 11:11:00 PM Woo Hoo! Barners lost, but FSU didn't cover, so I get the last 5 right to finish above .500 at 18-17! A moral victory, kind of like the one the barn will celebrate tonight! :lol2: :lol2:

Post by: bama57 on January 08, 2014, 08:27:25 AM It WAS my only chance! and luck played in to it after my terrible picks in the bowls!and what is so funny to me is I didn't want aubarn to win but I had to take them and they lost but I won 8)
Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: roll tide roll on January 08, 2014, 09:11:51 AM Congrats to Bamaphile and Sqwig. This was fun. I hope everyone has a great 2014. Looking forward to A-Day.

Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: ricky023 on January 08, 2014, 02:56:43 PM It don't bother me. The only ones I could steal would be one step lower than me. rofl, RTR!

I still would have changed my pick for the last game, but I thought a lot longer about it than I might have if I hadn't known the others picks. Good fun and congrats to all. Title: Re: Bowl pick em? Post by: bama57 on January 08, 2014, 06:42:34 PM Hey Sqwig, that morning the chance I had to win was to pick opposite you and then when you went with Florida state.If I couldn't have seen your picks I honestly don't know what I would have done because I also had seen the points move from 7 1/2 to 10. What do you think about us sharing the number 1 spot an the overall pickems? :)
