    no just two shit teams that can't score if they started from the 25 yard line. The total is 41 in a college game with 2nd tier teams should tell you something. it's most likely a service bull shit pick -2 to -1/PK NO bigger to me. I wouldn't bet this game with counterfeit money anyway

    Maybe this will help you decide

    It's Dr Bob and a Jim Fiest GOY and a couple of others

    Here's a cut and paste maybe it will help you



    VirginiaTech, with their 20th straight bowl season. However, it is hardly on par with their normal

    standards, needing wins in their final 2 tilts to reach the "magical" 6-6 plateau.

    And, altho they were DD favorites in those 2, they narrowly accomplished that

    goal (30-23 OT win vs 2-10 BC, & 17-14, last-second win vs 4-8 Virginia).

    Must-win" setups like that seems nice spots to unload with VT, but you would

    have paid off on both occasions. By the way, their record ends a streak of 8

    straight 10-win seasons for Beamer, & note playing in the Orange, Orange,

    Orange, & Sugar Bowl 4 of the last 5 yrs. LY Hokies were led by RB Wilson

    (1,627 yds: tops in ACC), with QB Thomas at 19/10. But this year, their

    leading RB has a mere 486 yds, with Thomas their leader at 528 yds. And

    he's just 17/14, 53% overhead, ranking 85th in the land. Defensively, they are

    again solid: 24th in total & scoring, but a full 41 notches below LY's "O". The

    Scarlet Knights of Rutgers are playing in their 7th bowl in the last 8 yrs, which

    followed a 26-season drought. They've paid off in 5 of those previous 6 (18 &

    13 pt covers in their last 2). They're led by QB Nova, who disappointed, down

    the stretch; a 15/3 mark thru 1st 7 contests (all wins & #15 in the polls), before

    finishing just 22/15. Right, 7/12 in that 2-3 windup, with RU at 52 RYpg in its

    last 2 contests (both losses, costing Knights a BCS slot). RU ranks 14th, 4th,

    11th in total, scoring, rushing "D", but just 102nd, 96th, 101st on "O" in those

    columns. Difficult to believe that Hokies would be more appreciative of this

    bowl slot than Knights, who are without Schiano on the sidelines for 1st time.

    FWIW, Rutgers at +2 was very strong. They are the far superior team and I had them as the outright winner based on run defense alone.

    I think you had to much Holiday cheer if you think Rutgers was very strong at +2 JMO
    Question are they still a very strong bet 1 point less from +2 to +1


    far superior team

    I agree with OT very good game to stay away - first year Rutgers coach Flood has had this team playing hard all season - I don't like the fact touts have Goy labels on Rutgers

    Also first year bowl coaches usually don't do well. Yes it's trend or whatever you want to call it but before you say anything ask Fresno st and UCLA how they did.

    If you like them at +2, you'd better think they can win the game-- not much wiggle room.

    fwiw-- these bowl games are not mountains--- you don't have to bet them just because they're there.
