Bowl Season

Lines are up for the big games. Does anyone know when the service that Carl uses releases their bowl lines? Since we're all here to win money, I figured we could throw some ideas around.

Let's get some discussion going on these games.

**Note: These aren't official plays, I'm just putting some thoughts down, so feel free to discuss any bowl game in this thread.

TCU vs. Boise
Outside of some of the BCS games, this will my most anticipated game of the year.
TCU will be favored in this game, and I think that a lot of people will be really confused by the line. If this is anywhere under TCU -4.5, I will be all over this one. #2 defense vs. #3 offense. I think TCU's playing much better ball right now.
TCU had a bad spot playing Utah. They travelled to UNLV and turned around 5 days later and travelled back out west where they were road favorites with a short week and on a nationally televised game. Even with that loss, I think TCU is playing some of the best ball in the nation right now. Boise's offensive strength is the run, and TCU's defensive strength is the run, and when two teams match up like this, I'll take the defensive strength over the offensive strength every day.

Utah +11 vs. Bama
I think that this is the best matchup that Utah could have hoped for. These are two very similar teams in all aspects of the game, and this should be a very low scoring affair. Utah has a stellar defense with the best secondary in the MWC and a big and fast defense that should be able to contain an Alabama offense that likes to run in between the tackles much more than bounce the ball to the outside. Utah also has the best special teams unit in the country, which will be a huge advantage in a low scoring game. I think that Bama will win this one, but don't really think that they deserve to be favored by double digits.
