Good approach!

Rare that posters discuss this kind of thing, most just post a play and you do not know where they got em from, some steal from a service, lol.

Also look at:
  • teams with 5 wins need 6th for bowl game--play
  • teams that clinched bowl last week 6th win--fade
  • bowl bound teams that strong rumors suggest they already know their bowl destination and cannot improve--fade
  • teams on the road with no bowl hopes--fade
  • teams with a chance to get into the conference championship against one that does not--play
  • teams with interim coach--especially on the road--fade
  • warm weather teams playing in very cold weather-fade
  • cold weather teams playing in very warm weather-fade
  • pass oriented teams playing in very windy conditions (>12 mph but especially >15mph)--especially vs good/decent run first teams
  • teams with significant rumors of their coach moving on--fade
  • teams with significant rumors that there will be a lot of top notch players entering the transfer portal--fade
There are a few more, these should suffice.

NO, I am not saying play or fade all teams in these categories, but they are strong situational considerations this time of the year in many of these...

GL!

Michigan St plays Penn State to try to become bowl eligible.

Purdue plays Indiana to get into the Big 10 championship game against the Mich/Ohio State winner.

I'm sure this info is already baked into the lines though.

Mich st does play for eligibility but are down 7 players suspended due to tunnel incident, several of which are key starters. They’ll have a tough going today. I like the MSU U17 TT , PSU d is pretty stout

Amazing this thread is so dead, this issue is critical to the games this time of the year.
  • Who needs to get into a bowl?
  • Who already knows that they are in a bowl and that if they win or lose, it does not matter, they are still going to go to the same bowl.
And so on.
A testament to the mentality of this site. instead of helping each other, it is a picking contest.

Very true on all accounts. Every once in a while I find a thread with decent info but rarely. Question. Don't you think the lines already have baked in the above info? If so there's still the higher motivation factor.

I think some of the injury and motivations stuff is baked into the line, but not all, every time, the pubic does not have all the information and they get sucked in.
Shortbusdriver often supplies last minute major injury info and or clears up rumors, he is a rarity.

Liberty football coach just named to be going to coach Auburn.

8-3 Liberty is a 24 point favorite, at home, losing 28-7 to 4-6 New Mexico State in 3rd quarter.

THAT's what I am talking about.

NO, I did not put the 2+2 together, either, but there are definitely posters who knew and did not point it out.

Lame duck coaches, teams that know a lot of the players are transferring, teams on the road with no hope show up and go thru the motions, and so on.

Right now they are laying 13.5 to Ark St and play at 3:30

Good info, much appreciated.
Oregon might look ahead to Pac-12 game, deep in their hearts they know they have almost NO chance for the 4 team playoffs (they are ranked #9), so Ore St at home +3 might be a play. Not sure how Nix is doing, whether he will be risked to roll out or run the ball in this spot.

(Liberty down 42-7 lol)

So why wouldn’t you post the plays based on helping each other?
