What sets Spooky apart is his analytical approach to College Football Bowls. Spooky delves deep into crunching numbers during Bowl season, playing more with facts and figures than with instincts and gut feelings. These analytical deep dives result in picks that are truly ‘Spooky’s Bowling for Dollar Plays!’
Wagering is not without its variables. Weather, player conditions, who will play, who will enter the draft, and numerous other elements can impact the outcome of a game.
The transfer portal just officially opened. We must be cautious in releasing bowl plays more than a few days before the game is played unless we really love it. The playoffs will be an exception since most teams will be intact and max-motivated.
