Don't force them bro. Most can probably tell they aren't your top plays as they've mostly been 1 or 2 unit plays as compared to the 3,4,5 unit plays. No need to explain yourself, we'll know when it's a smaller play versus one you like by the units you put on it.

Was cashing Rut/ NC st middles and Mizzou at 12.5 was avaialble at Red Rock in LV 30 min prior to kickoff. Ended up at 14 to match the action being taken around town. His 12.5 is very much possible and didn't warrant the backlash.
People need to relax. Jealousy is not a good look and the guys coming into anybody's thread just to bash are being petty.
I passed on the 2 plays today because I thought O'Brien was too smart for Schiano and both NW and Mizzou are bet against teams. Neither game had the usual Randy analysis that I like seeing, so there was nothing to sway me from staying on sidelines.
Best of luck in rest of season Randy and everyone else.

Very good points. Can't ever question Dizzle though. He won me so much during the regular season, Im not gonna sweat a bad day or 2.
In regards to the comments above, especially in the smaller games, I have found that over the years, if the line is 3 or less, take the favorite. If it is more than 3, take the Dog. More times than not, you will come out ahead. The results are not always as good with the bigger games, but normally produces more wins than loses regardless.
So far that trend is 10-4 this year (depending on where you get the lines)
Based on this Nevada, Rice, and OK St. would be the plays tomorrow. Hope to see Dizzle on some of these too.
Neither am I, but I was just trying to give him something else to think about and perhaps incorporate into his handicapping. Good luck with the rest of the bowls, Randizz. Hope to see you pick up with college basketball and NBA once NCAA football is over.
Interesting theory. I'll keep it in mind.

am i allowed to ask who's picks these are
You're right, there's no scientific method of classifying which games might be "major" games. But you can gather some information if you're willing to look hard enough. For instance, I'm sure you could gather from Missouri's websites, football fanblogs/forums, etc. that they were disappointed to be playing the the Alamo bowl considering their high hopes for the season, etc. While if you went to Northwestern's side, you'd see articles on the importance of this game for the football programs, what it would mean to the school in terms of credibility, how excited these players are to be in a bowl for the first time, and the like.
I would say that the major games are the ones where both teams are ranked fairly highly, excited to be there, and that it is a game with a fair amount of prestige.
For instance, I know USC and Penn State might be "disappointed" that they aren't playing for a national championship but they are still in the fucking Rose Bowl. This a game that both teams want to win badly. I don't think you'll find a motivational edge here. But tonight's game with Missouri clearly showed that the attitude a team brings to the game, especially after weeks of not playing, is a significant factor to consider in your handicapping of bowl games. Obviously motivation isn't everything -- you still need coaching, talent, execution, and some luck.
I think tomorrow night, Nevada has this motivational edge. You look at Maryland -- they beat #23 ranked (at the time) California, #20 Clemson, shut out #21 Wake Forest 26 to 0, and pulled out a tough win against#16 North Carolina. They beat 4 ranked teams, one on the road. They have to be thinking better than the Humanitarian Bowl. Then at home and senior night, they get embarrassed by Florida St. 37-3, which may have carried over to their loss to BC the last week of the season. It would be hard after such crashing disappointment for a lot of these Maryland players to get up for 3 weeks of practice to play in the Humanitarian Bowl. Most of them probably just want the season to end and move on. Instead they have to fly out to Idaho to face one of the top rushing attacks in the country.
In my estimation, motivation matters more for defense--which revolves around tackling--and I don't think Maryland's going to be inspired to fly around and stop Nevada's outstanding rushing game.
EDIT: Sorry Randizzle if it comes across as me trying to pass off my picks in your thread. I was trying to make a larger point about motivation in these bowl games and got a little carried out.
You're way off here. The standard on this (and EVERY other forum) is to use the posted line for record keeping. That only makes sense. Sometimes a line moves in your favor, sometimes not in your favor. Getting the right line is a big part of sports betting.
Randizzle posted -6.5, and 90% of his followers got that line or -7. That's great that you got -6, but why would you think it is appropriate for Randizzle to score Rutgers as a win when he lost his personal bet, and 90% of his followers did too? Listen, you're not going to win this discussion....like I said, this is a widely accepted practice for record keeping and its not going to change.
On a side note, your practice of always waiting until the last minute to make a bet is going to work against you just as much as in your favor, if not more. If you are following randizzle's picks, he plays a lot of favorites, and more often than not the line moves against a favorite.
Because THATS when you put in your bet and winning your bet is all that matters. Not records. If you can follow along with the same line, great, if not oh well, all your doing is following along.
All that matters is that IF YOU CASH your ticket.
