Bowl Pool 2016 - Another ho hum Bowl Game

Good evening everyone.  This will be a short post, since the Boca Raton Bowl was a bit of a bust, and I have to get some rest.  Favorites are 5-3 so far this season.  We also didn't lose any more of the unbeaten teams, as all 3 sheets that were undefeated yesterday had Western Kentucky.  It turns out that we are now up to the point where everyone has won at least 2 games, so that's something.

Here are the points standings:

1. Brent E. #2: 188 (0)

2. Freitag B.: 187 (0)

The big winner of the day was Marc S., who gathered in 29 points and moved from 17th all the way up to 8th.  What with no one even using up 25% of their points in this pool so far, it's still anyone's game, and there are big moves still out there for people.

So, tomorrow is a big day for me.  It's my birthday, I have two interviews for a new job and, of course, the Poinsettia Bowl is going to be played just down the street in San Diego.  This one seems to be a big deal for a few people.  Here are the particulars:

Vegas Line:  BYU -9.5

Median Pick:  BYU for 22

.Picks

BYU:  43 (average points: 26.42)

Wyoming: 13 (average points: 17.00)

27 people (almost half the field) has this game in their top 10, including Mike W., who has it pegged at 41 points.  This will also be a big game for Dan Du..  He has 40 points on Wyoming.  If you remember, he was the last person to get on the board in this pool.  A Wyoming win would really go a long way to getting him right back in the thick of things.  Good luck to everyone!!!!!
