College Football Bowl Game Pick em Pool - help me cheat

pjcas18 : 12/18/2018 1:01 pm
I have to do an entry to a college football bowl pick 'em pool against the spreads. And I say have to because I'm in a season long NFL pick em pool against the spread and part of our entry includes the college bowl pool (which is a separate contest, but like I said included in my entry fee).

It's a weighted pool, so one where each bowl game has points and they escalate in value as they get closer to the national title so the National Title game is worth 50 points and the Frisco Bowl for example is 3 points. Most new year's day bowls are 25 points as are the playoffs.

So pick the overall winner (and the semi winners) and you obviously do better.

I don't watch college football enough, so I did some research and can't find a good source for who should win.

My post is asking for you to help me cheat:

Alabama - 13.5 vs Oklahoma? I have Alabama
Clemson - 7.5 vs Notre Dame? I have Clemson

And then they have it as Alabama or Oklahoma - 6.5 vs Clemson or Notre Dame (pick one).

I have Alabama.

Check my work and provide your advice.

Bama -6.5 vs ND

Is a very good play.

You’d have to pick the final based on it being Clemson.

6.5 is a toss up but I’d take Bama

Right, I think best case for gamblers would have to be Alabama is upset and then Oklahoma giving 6.5 to Clemson.

Second to that might be Oklahoma giving 6.5 to ND.

but again, not being a college football viewer it looked like Oklahoma allowed 48 points to Texas, 46 to Texas Tech, 40 to Kansas, 47 to Oklahoma State, 56 to West Virginia..

It seems like Alabama could score 60 on them (based on looking at stats)
if you want to win

best to go against the grain and pick against bama. Clemsons D line is probably the unit to bet on for an upset chance
ND is going to beat Clemson so
