It was a great New Year’s. Unlike last year when the bowls were scattered around New Year’s Day, Tuesday was filled with bowl offerings, and three of them – wins by Georgia, South Carolina and Stanford – were highly entertaining games.
Before we get to the standings of the Bowling for Bowl Success extra-ganza, did you realize the 5-at-10’s picks are unbeaten in 2013. That’s right we offered the following nine picks yesterday and all of them hit. Yes. All of them. If you had played the following nine games – for entertainment purposes only of course – in a parlay you would have gotten a 300-to-1 return on your entertainment investment. That makes our against the spread picks in the bowl season a staggering 30-13 and our overall mark this year an eye-popping 81-34-2. We may have to start wagering something more than entertainment, huh?
Oklahoma State -16.5 over Purdue
Michigan +5.5 over South Carolina
