XSPower 2014 - 2015 College Bowl Power Winners

[XSPower]

I have thought long and hard about posting my college bowl selections here @ the rx this season and have come to the conclusion that I will not be posting them this season.

Before you label me a trout I want you to understand who your working with. I've been betting sports of over 18+ years and do the hard work need to succeed!!! I'm not a service with an 800 line, or a group of salesman...... It's just me and my other partner. I have been posting here of over 5 plus years and most of you are aware of the good and the bad!!!!

I'm not leaving the RX and you can still follow me in the NFL, NBA, and NCAA Basketball forums....... but when it comes to the playoffs and March Madness (from now on) you will find me here!!!! I have capped most of these early bowl games and from what I'm seeing, it's going to be yet again another fast start to the bowl season and would like to have you around as well.

Plays will be rated from 1 to 5 dimes and will be posted here a few minutes after the game has started for those of you that don't want to join but want to follow the winners.

Should be around 35-50 selections with both sides and totals. Most of the plays will be around 2K-3K with the top plays 5K. I have five top plays that will be "Blowout Winners" and they will also be included with all sign ups!!! I may run specials on certain days for one day of service but the real value is in the "Bowl Season Package" that goes off the board once the season has started Saturday December 20th.

If your looking for a long term strategy that will produce profits betting the college bowl season, while using proper money management as well as a discipline then I'm your guy!!!

Here are some comments of other members here @ therx

XS,

I am very impressed with your transparency, honesty, effectiveness as a baseball handicapper and positive attitude (even among a few negative posters on occasion). Anyone who has followed you throughout the season must be very appreciative for you have brought them much wealth. Many times I have seen your picks, only to question your thinking, not betting and seeing your side or total win."

Wishing you all the best now and in the future,

Derty D

Let me do all the work and all you have to do is pick up the winning cash!!!!

For those that a interested in having a winning Bowl Season drop me a line with "College Bowl Selections" in the subject title and your site name and question in the email, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

*Depending on the amount of reply I may have a lower price for the first 10 that sign up??? Not looking to get rich on sign up just want to help those that share a common goal..... winning @ sports!!!!

My email is: xspower1@hotmail.com

Closing Thoughts: No worries my friend...... just blowout winners!!!!!

Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl - Saturday Dec. 20

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl - Saturday Dec. 20

Western Michigan Broncos vs. Air Force Falcons (-1.5, 56.5)

Raycom Media Camellia Bowl - Saturday Dec. 20

Bowling Green Falcons vs. South Alabama Jaguars (-3, 54)

Popeyes Bahama Bowl - Wednesday Dec. 24

Hawaii Bowl - Wednesday Dec. 24

Rice Owls vs. Fresno State Bulldogs (+2, 58.5)

* Rice is favored by one point. That's important because the Owls have covered in six straight games in which they've been single digit favorites.

* Virginia Tech has just one play of 50 or more yards this season. The only team worse was Wake Forest, which beat the Hokies 6-3 in double overtime.

* Boston College runs the ball on over 72 percent of its offensive plays and is eighth in the nation in rushing attempts per game. The Eagles are 11th in time of possession, holding on the ball an average of 33:09.92 per game and is 4-7-1 O/U.

National University Holiday Bowl - Saturday Dec. 27

Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. USC Trojans (-6.5, 61.5)

* The Huskers have won their last nine games in which RB Ameer Abdullah has rushed for over 100 yards.

* The Broncos have been held to under 20 points just twice this season (vs. Ole Miss and Air Force) and lost (and failed to cover) both games.

* The Wildcats O/U record was 1-5 away from home this season. They scored 9.6 less ppg on the road.

Capital One Orange Bowl - Wednesday Dec. 31

Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (+6.5, 61)

* Georgia Tech is 5-1 ATS as an underdog this season and has won four of those games SU.

* Mississippi State completed seven third-down conversions per game, with Dak Prescott posting a QB rating of 179.7 and throwing for 10 touchdowns on those third-down snaps. He rushed for 27 first downs on third down – tops in the SEC.

Outback Bowl - Thurs Jan. 1

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Auburn Tigers (-6.5, 62)

* Wisconsin has only been an underdog once this year and lost that game to LSU in the opener. They were favored by 4 points versus Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship and got walloped 59-0.

* The Auburn Tigers fired DC Ellis Johnson after giving up 30 points in each of their last six games against FBS opponents.

Cotton Bowl Classic - Thurs Jan. 1

Baylor Bears vs. Michigan State Spartans (+3, 71)

* Baylor head coach Art Briles is the owner of an 89-61 career collegiate record, but is just 2-5 SU and ATS lifetime in bowl games.

Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl - Thurs Jan. 1

Missouri Tigers vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers (+5, 48)

* Despite winning the SEC East and playing in the SEC Championship, Missouri was only favored in six of its games this season. As a favorite the Tigers went 5-1 SU and 3-3 ATS.

* The Gophers went 7-2 ATS in their last nine games. They were the best red-zone team in the Big Ten scoring TDs on 73.33 percent of their trips inside the 20-yard line.

Rose Bowl (Playoff semifinal) - Thurs Jan. 1

Oregon Ducks vs. Florida State Seminoles (+9.5, 71)

* This is the first time since their 2011 matchup with Clemson that Florida State comes into a game as an underdog. The Seminoles are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 bowl games.

* Marcus Mariota threw five interceptions in his first seven games. Since then he's thrown just seven in his last 33 games. Heisman winners are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS during bowl season since 2009.

Allstate Sugar Bowl (Playoff semifinal) - Thurs Jan. 1

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Ohio State Buckeyes (+9.5, 58.5)

* Ohio State has been an underdog just twice this season (Michigan State and Wisconsin) and have won both SU.

* Alabama has been a single-digit favorite four time this year and in those four games the Tide have a 1-3 O/U record. Alabama is 0-7-1 ATS in its last eight non-conference clashes.

Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl - Friday Jan. 2

Houston Cougars vs. Pittsburgh Panthers (-3, 53.5)

* After signing a five-year contract earlier this year, the Cougars fired head coach Tony Levine and defensive coordinator David Gibbs will be the interim coach for the bowl game.

* If Paul Chryst takes the Wisconsin job, as rumored, you have to wonder how the team will respond. Pitt has had four head coaches since 2012. If Chryst leaves it will make five.

TaxSlayer Bowl - Friday Jan. 2

Tennessee Volunteers vs. Iowa Hawkeyes (+3.5, 51.5)

* The Vols lead the SEC in sacks allowed (42) and tackles for loss allowed (97). The inability to get their offense going due to negative plays is a big reason for their 6-6 SU and ATS records.

* Teams are completing 14.1 passes per game and boast a 52.7 completion percentage against Iowa. The defense has not been as strong against run, allowing 158.8 rushing yards a game on 4.3 yards per carry.

Valero Alamo Bowl - Friday Jan. 2

Kansas State Wildcats vs. UCLA Bruins (Pick, 59)

* The Wildcats have only turned the ball over 11 times this year and have only lost the turnover battle in three games. They lost two of those games (vs. Auburn and TCU).

* UCLA is just 4-8 ATS this year. One of the reasons is that the Bruins have played in seven games that have been decided by 10 or less points.

TicketCity Cactus Bowl - Friday Jan. 2

Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Washington Huskies (-5.5, 56)

* Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy is making his ninth straight bowl appearance, going 5-3 SU and 4-4 ATS in those previous postseason games.

* In Chris Petersen's debut season at Washington, the Huskies didn't beat a single FBS team that finished with a winning record.

Birmingham Bowl - Saturday Jan. 3

Florida Gators vs. East Carolina Pirates (+7, 57)

* Since inserting QB Treon Harris into the starting lineup the Gators are 4-1 ATS. The offense averaged 32.6 ppg with Harris under center and 28.6 ppg without him - and that includes a 65-point explosion against EMU in their opener.

* Through their first four games, the Pirates had outscored opponents by an average of 18.5 points per game, but since then the team only has a plus-6.5 scoring margin.

GoDaddy Bowl - Sunday, Jan. 4

Arkansas State Red Wolves vs. Toledo Rockets (-3, 67)

* Arkansas State is a tough team to finish off with nine of its last 14 wins coming when tied or trailing in the third quarter.

* Toledo QB Logan Woodside came back from injury for the last two games of the season, including a five-touchdown performance against Eastern Michigan. At one point this season, the Rockets were down to their fourth-string QB.

Sharps look awful square to open bowl season BY Colin Kelly

The first day of bowl season provided quite the intriguing betting trend. In all five games, the team that the line moved in favor of failed to cover the point spread. Which means, generally speaking, the sharps had a rough day.

At MGM-Mirage books, Nevada opened at a pick ‘em, moved to -1, then had a completely lackluster effort in a 16-3 loss to Louisiana-Lafayette in the New Orleans Bowl. In the New Mexico Bowl, Texas-El Paso opened at +10.5, moved to +10, then lost 21-6 to Utah State. Colorado State opened as a 4.5-point underdog to Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl, the line closed at Rams +3, and the Utes rolled 45-10.

In the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Western Michigan opened at +1, closed at -2 and lost outright, 38-24. And in the Camellia Bowl, the line stayed at -2.5 on South Alabama throughout, but Jay Rood – vice president of race and sports for MGM Resorts – said the bulk of the wagers were on South Alabama, which lost to Bowling Green 33-28.

“I would have to say it was not a great day for the sharps,” Rood said. “And the money was going on South Alabama, but we just didn’t get off the number.”
However, Rood noted that the Colorado State-Utah game was an exception, as it was played in Vegas and Utah fans had overrun the town, with the Utes facing UNLV in basketball just a few hours after the bowl game.

“Usually on a day like that, it is sharp money moving those lines, except for that one game,” Rood said of the Las Vegas Bowl. “There were way more Utah fans than Colorado State fans walking around.”

Utah won and covered in basketball, too, beating the host Rebels 59-46 as a 9-point fave.

“We lost both (Utah) games, and they probably hit both – the Utah-Utah parlay. Those fans are probably running around buying last-minute Christmas gifts now,” Rood joked. “We did have a good day, but the Utah-Colorado State game was kind of ugly for us. We went 4-1 basically, with the one loss being the one the public went to.”

Said an oddsmaker for topbet.eu: “Sharp bettors have been far from sharp in bowl games thus far,” noting that at his shop, South Alabama went from a pick ‘em to -4. He added that in Monday’s lone bowl game – the Miami Beach Bowl between Brigham Young and Memphis – the sharp action is on Memphis, which opened at +1.5 and is now at -2.

At the Westgate LV SuperBook, it wasn’t quite as bad for the sharps, according to Jay Kornegay, executive vice president of race and sports.

“I guess you could say some of the smart money had a rough day. Overall, the market moves didn’t fare well, but the public did OK,” Kornegay said. “The general public concentrated on two games. Out of the five bowl games, the public cashed out on both Air Force and Utah. The other three games received little attention.”

BYU Cougars vs. Memphis Tigers (-1.5, 56.5)

Game to be played at Marlins Park, Miami, FL

1. BYU’s explosive offense will get a stiff test from Memphis' defense, which ranks fifth nationally with an average of 17.1 points allowed. The Tigers did not surrender more than 20 points in any of their victories and ripped through the final six contests yielding 13.3 – all wins. The Cougars put up at least 42 points in each of their final three games.

2. Memphis and BYU had a trio of common opponents as the Cougars secured wins over Middle Tennessee, Connecticut and Houston. The Tigers were edged 28-24 by Houston on Oct. 11 but closed the regular season by ripping UConn 41-10 and eased past Middle Tennessee back in September. Memphis turned over the ball five times in the loss to Houston but suffered its only other two setbacks on the road against nationally ranked teams UCLA and Ole Miss.

3. Tigers quarterback Paxton Lynch set a school record with 28 touchdowns (18 passing, 10 rushing) and did not throw an interception during the six-game winning streak that closed the regular season. The Cougars endured a four-game slide and waved goodbye to their hopes of a New Year’s Six bowl when Christian Stewart took over under center for injured starter Taysom Hill and lost his first four starts. Stewart picked up his play in four wins closing the season, recording 14 TD passes and one interception in that span.

TV: 2 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: The majority of books opened this game as a Pick, but that has moved to Memphis -1.5. The total opened at 57.5 with that dropping to 56.5.

INJURY REPORT:

Cougars - WR Colby Pearson (Out, collarbone), RB Jamaal Williams (Out, knee).

ABOUT BYU (8-4 SU, 5-7 ATS, 8-4 O/U): The Cougars are participating in their 10th straight bowl game and are coming in hot after Stewart’s 433-yard, five-TD performance in a win at California. BYU started the season with a dominant rushing attack led by Hill, whose dual-threat abilities resulted in 975 passing yards and 460 on the ground in his first four games, but had to rebuild around a more traditional pocket passer in Stewart. The Cougars also picked things up on the other side of the ball, limiting their last four opponents to an average of 16.3 points after surrendering 40.8 during the mid-season skid.

ABOUT MEMPHIS (9-3 SU, 7-4-1 ATS, 7-5 O/U): The Tigers’ hot finish left them on top of the AAC and sent the team to its first bowl since 2008. “It’s a big deal,” senior cornerback Bobby McCain told reporters. “It’s big for the city, it’s big for the team and the family of brothers that we have here. To have a 10-win season is something that’s never been done before. Now we just have to go 1-0 one more time and end it with a bang.” McCain is part of a secondary that recorded 14 interceptions during the regular season and held opposing passers to an average of 218 yards.

TRENDS:

* Cougars are 5-1 ATS in their last six neutral site games.
