Boyd’s 2009 Fiesta Bowl Picks

Jack Jones — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 16:43:25 +0000

5* Fiesta Bowl BOMB on Ohio State +9
All the Buckeyes have heard is how the Big Ten is weak and how they have gotten smoked in the BCS Title game the past two seasons. This team has a lot of seniors, especially on its vaunted defense, and I expect them to put all that talk to rest by giving the Horns all they want and more. The Longhorns are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 bowl games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0 and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Big Ten while the Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Big 12. Take the points.

Boyd’s 2009 Cotton Bowl Game Odds

Jack Jones — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 21:29:12 +0000

If you are trying to beat the bowl game odds to finish off the season, then you are going to want to enlist the help of one of our experts. Jimmy Boyd is one of the best in the business at making bowl picks and he’s establishing himself once again in 2009. Take a look at this easy winner he posted on the Cotton Bowl, where he took Ole Miss over Texas Tech.

5* Cotton Bowl MONSTER BEST BET on Ole Miss +5.5
The Rebs have played the best teams in the SEC down to the wire this season, beating Florida, playing Alabama to within 4, and crushing LSU. Ole Miss gets up for these games. Do I have to say anything more? This is also a huge game for Ole Miss, while Texas Tech had its bowl hopes set much higher. That gives the edge to Ole Miss again. Ole Miss is 6-0 ATS vs. excellent teams – outscoring opponents by 17+ PPG on the season over the last 3 seasons and 11-1 ATS (+9.9 Units) in road games vs. good passing teams averaging 250 or more passing yards/game since 1992. Take the points.

There aren’t many games left on the board, but you can still make money off the rest of the games by signing up today!

Boyd’s 2009 Capital One Bowl Picks

Jack Jones — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 23:17:21 +0000

If you are looking to cash in on January 1st, then take a look at the premium bowl picks offered by Jimmy Boyd and his staff. He has burnt the midnight oil looking at the bowl game odds and he’s came up with a few winners he feels great about. If you aren’t ready to step up quite yet and make a purchase, then take a look at the free play he has going for today on the Georgia Bulldogs:

The Preseason No. 1 ranked Bulldogs did not finish the year where they started, but they survived one of the toughest schedules in the country to end a up a respectable 9-3. Both teams lost their last regular season game and will want to bounce back with a win in the bowl, but I give the Bulldogs the edge. Michigan State really didn’t play good football in any of its last 5 games. It was crushed by Ohio State and Penn State, only edged out a down Wisconsin team by a point, and trailed late against the worst Michigan team ever during that stretch. While Michigan State lives and dies with being able to run the football, the Bulldogs have a more balanced attack with Knowshon Moreno carrying and Matthew Stafford passing and that will be the difference. Georgia is 19-5 ATS in road non-conference games since 1992, winning by an average of 10.1 ppg in these spots. Georgia is also 16-6 ATS in road games after a bye week since 1992. With plenty of time to regroup and prepare, I’ll take the more talented team here.

Boyd’s 2009 Outback Bowl Picks

Jack Jones — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 23:04:58 +0000

Get your 2009 year started off right with the bowl picks offered by Jimmy Boyd and his staff. There are not many handicappers out there who can win as much as Boyd can when dealing with the bowl game odds. Let’s see a few of the things he looks at in a game by taking a look at why he liked Iowa over South Carolina:

3* Outback Bowl SMASH on Iowa -4
Iowa is no stranger to Florida Bowls and is deserving of being the favorite here. While the SC defense has been vaunted,it was dominated by Florida and Clemson in the last two games of the season. SC’s offense hasn’t been able to do anything too help out this season. It is a turnover waiting to happen and is only averaging 18.4 ppg on the road this season. Iowa has the best running back in the nation in Shonn Grenne. He was not slowed by the best defenses in the Big 10 and will not be held down in this one. Iowa won 3 in a row to close out the season and 5 of its last 6, including a win over then-undefeated and No. 3 ranked Penn State to keep the Nittany Lions from a chance at a National title. Iowa is 4-1 ATS on the road this season and plays on favorites of 3.5 to 10 points (IOWA) – a top caliber team (>=+14 PPG differential) against an average team (+/- 5 PPG differential), after scoring 42 points or more last game are 32-11 ATS the last 10 seasons. Take Iowa.

Boyd’s 2009 Orange Bowl Picks

Jack Jones — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 21:10:24 +0000

It was another winning night for Jimmy Boyd to start the New Year as he was on Virginia Tech to pull off the win in the 2009 Orange Bowl. If you want to finish off your season a winner then sign up for the bowl picks offered by this expert handicapper as he will continue to beat the bowl game odds for the remaining few games.

4* Major Orange Bowl BEST BET on VA Tech +2.5
Let’s face it, both the ACC and the Big East were very weak this year, but the Big East was still the weaker of the two conference with less speed than the ACC. VA Tech is young, but it continued to improve as the season went on and it ended the regular season playing its best football, winning its last 3 games and crushing Boston College in the ACC title game. Cincy had a surprise season, but this team is not as good as its record indicates and nearly losing to Hawaii proved that. Defensively, the Hokies are the superior team, allowing only 17.5 ppg and that’s why I like them to win this one. VA Tech is 12-2 ATS off an upset win as an underdog since 1992. Beamer will preach to his boys that no one expects them to win and that will be all the motivation they need to come out victorious as the more talented side.

Boyd’s 2008 Chick-Fil-A Bowl Picks

Jack Jones — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 19:37:16 +0000

It was another winner for the subscribers to Jimmy Boyd‘s bowl picks as he correctly called LSU over Georgia Tech in the 2008 Chick-Fil-A Bowl. If this is not one of the bowl game odds that you were able to take advantage of on your own, then maybe you need to work on seeing errors in the numbers. See why Jimmy was on the Tigers below to see if you can’t learn a little more about breaking down games:

3* Chick-Fil-A Bowl SMASH on LSU +4.5
LSU certainly does not have the team it had a season ago, but I believe it is better than a 7-5 team. The Jackets are being overvalued here. I know they beat Georgia in a shootout to end the season, but that was a rivalry game and they won’t get up nearly as much for this one. LSU is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last 5 Bowls so you better believe the Tigers will be ready to play. LSU is 10-1 ATS in road games after 2 consecutive games where they forced 1 or less turnovers since 1992. With time to rest, I expect this defense to be fresh and causing havoc once more. Georgia Tech is 1-10 ATS off 2 or more consecutive overs since 1992. The long layoffs have not been to the benefit of offenses thus far and I don’t believe the Jackets will be hitting on all cylinders. Take the points.

Boyd’s 2008 Music City Bowl Game Odds

Jack Jones — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:19:19 +0000

One of the top experts in the country this year has been Jimmy Boyd of Locksmith Sports. Once again he struck gold for his clients, this time in the 2008 Music City Bowl when he took at look at the bowl game odds and decided that there was value in the UNDER. Well the defenses played a big roles in the game and once again his bowl picks cashed in for clients. Don’t worry though because he still has plenty more locked and loaded to finish off the season, so you can still make plenty of cash over your sportsbook to finish off the football season. Let’s take a look at a few of the reasons he pinpointed this under that hit so easily:

4* Major New Year’s Even “TOTAL” DOMINATOR (Music City Bowl) on BC/Vandy UNDER 41

Vandy is 17-6 UNDER in all lined games over the last 2 seasons and 8-1 UNDER as an underdog of 3.5 to 10 points over the last 2 seasons. Vandy scored 14 or fewer points in 6 of its last 7 games. The Commodores also went under the number in 7 of their last 9 games. Vandy does not have enough offense to send this one over.

Boyd’s 2008 Holiday Bowl Picks

Jack Jones — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:30:11 +0000

Another easy winner for the clients of Jimmy Boyd‘s bowl picks subscription as he took Oregon over Oklahoma State in the 2008 Holiday Bowl. If you were on the wrong side of the bowl game odds here or you took a pass because you couldn’t decide, don’t worry about it. There are still plenty of opportunities to be had the rest of the way in, and you can take advantage of every single one of them if you sign up for a premium subscription with Mr. Boyd!

3* Holiday Bowl SMASH on Oregon +3
The Ducks are not getting the respect they deserve here. Oregon is 9-3 and closed out the season with a pair of dominant performances against Arizona and Oregon State. The Cowboys lost 2 of 3 to end the season and 3 straight ATS. I know those losses were to Texas Tech and Oklahoma, but losing affects momentum and the Boys won’t have as much as the Ducks heading into this one. Oregon is 34-15 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 since 1992,winning in these spots outright by an average score of 29 to 26.7 so right away you have to like the Ducks in the small dog role. The Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 0-3.0 while Oregon is 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games as an underdog of 0-3.0. Take the points.

Boyd’s 2008 Texas Bowl Lines

Jack Jones — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:22:24 +0000

Jimmy Boyd just keeps helping his clients cash in with his college bowl picks this season, and he’s not going to let up any time soon. How about the big game he posted last night when he took the bowl game odds on Rice -2 as one of his biggest plays of the post-season. If you missed out on this easy winner then don’t worry too much about it, because there will be plenty more where that came from. Take a look at his writeup on why he liked the Owls so much in this one:

5* Non-BCS Bowl GOTY on Rice -2
Western Michigan’s offense is good, but it’s nothing like Rice’s. The Owls are averaging 41.6 ppg while WMU is averaging just 29.8. With this game being played Rice’s backyard, I expect the Owls to put on an offensive show in front of a basically home crowd. Rice is 8-2 ATS when the total is greater than or equal to 63 this season, winning in these spots by an average score of 44.0 to 35.0. This is significant because when the books have predicted a shootout, as they have here, Rice has come out on top. Rice really proved what it could do in its last game of the season, putting up 56 points in a win over a good Houston team. The Owls have covered in 5 of 6 coming in and we’ll ride them again here. Lay the points.

Boyd’s 2008 Independence Bowl Picks
