We first want to update the last two week’s college bowl systems because the games were still pending at press time. We gave you SMU plus the 11 points over Nevada and the Mustangs did not need the points as they won straight up 45 to 10. Last week our system called for a play ON the Georgia Bulldogs minus the 6.5 points over Texas A&M and they won the game 44 to 20.
As 2009 draws to a close, we find ourselves smack in the middle of the bowls. You shouldn’t be bowled-out, either, as they build to the crescendo that is the Texas/Alabama showdown for the national title.
This week’s college football system may seem odd in that we are playing on a team that has not done well against the spread during the regular season. In fact this plays right into our hands as the odds-makers do not give our play on team enough credit which in turn gives us solid line value in this particular situation.

It’s Thanksgiving week, which means the middle of the NFL campaign while winding down the college football regular season. Late season college football means heated races for conference titles and bowl berths, plus rivalries that span decades, all of which can influence college football predictions. These games can have far more importance for players than September/October clashes.
This week we focused our research efforts on teams that are coming off straight up losses as large favorites in their last game and what happens to them the following week. Here is what we uncovered for this week’s college football action.

There’s a reason they play the games. Teams don’t always play the way stats and power rankings suggest they are supposed to. That’s often evident early in the pro and college football seasons because some teams are very different from year to year. Look at a team like Michigan.
