Stormy's 2024 CFP Plays

[BigJay]

How fitting would it be if the Jets were my only losing leg Jay? Swore I wouldn't touch them after winning that 5k vs Jax anymore this yr (after losing 40k vs ARI & 20K vs PIT). For some reason I thought they had a shot at BUF (playing in 2nd gear) knowing the Bucs ML was gonng freeroll it. Knew I should've taken NYG ML instead having a hunch IND wasn't gonna win out.

I think I was telling our boy @JDS I just wish Dougy would have put an AFC team that had a realistic shot in those parlays

Would've been the way to go but I sincerely doubt this hits regardless. DET is too banged up to make the SB, hard to see Saba winning it 3x in a row (actually like Coco this time). Sinner if not suspended is the only leg I wouldn't change.

Told you this guy's a piece of . Doesn’t even respond to my insurer. At least it means I'll most likely get that $1800 back

Quarterfinal (Peach Bow)


Arizona State +13 -111

Wish I got the better of the number, but I do like the Sun Devils to keep it pretty close. I think they have enough weaponry on offense to keep the Texas defense honest. We saw a lesser Clemson offense give Texas all kinds of problems. Arizona State should be able to move the ball a bit more here, and has a better chance of controlling the clock than Clemson did. I think Texas may be having their offense overrated a tad after their last game.

We'll see. I think Texas wins, but Arizona State I think will come out pretty fired up and may lead a bit in this game. Texas probably finds a way because of talent discrepancy, but kind of like Boise in a way think Arizona State is going to be juiced to prove people wrong

GL with this one

Quarterfinal (Rose Bowl)

Ohio State -2.5 -108

Wish I had gotten the better of the number, but just placed at 2.5 for a decent price. Could bite me in the ass, given how close I think these teams are.

I went back and forth on this one, but I ultimately settled on playing Ohio State. I think that Michigan loss was in a way the best thing that could happen to that. Their response to that game was admirable -- to be that explosive in the cold and just treat an SEC team like Kent State is admirable. I think they are going to tighten up their defense relative to the game in Eugene and do a much better job on Gabriel, and that will be the difference.

I respect Oregon -- they have been the best overall team this year. I think they got kind of hosed having to play an 8th seeded Ohio State team. It should be a reminder to change seeding procedures moving forward.

Quarterfinal (Sugar Bowl)

Notre Dame +1 -105

Taking the Irish here. The reality of the situation is I'm not super sold on their offense, and maybe they do struggle a bit more than usual in the trenches. But this is not the Georgia team we are accustomed to. They have a ton of holes on defense, and they are going to be playing a QB that is making his first start ever. That's not good. Maybe they get that Cardale Jones-like bump and are elevated by his play, but I doubt it. Notre Dame has the physicality to match this year's Georgia team, and I think they are going to pull off the (small) upset here.

Georgia's value is inflated because of their SEC brand/name recognition from the last few years. They're just not that good this year.

You saw how Boise had a weak schedule and look how they got dominated.

So you still think Arizona who also had a weak schedule can keep Texas close?

Wouldn’t say Boise State got dominated

They looked like they belonged on same field with Penn State

Game changed with that bogus penalty that wiped off touchdown

 

[BigJay]

Texas has a propensity to keep games closer than they should be

Ewers tends to have stretches in games, sometimes long stretches, where he just plain isn’t very good

Exactly what’s happening here

Kind of what I was hoping

but Texas defense should get them the cover

ASU poor performance in Red Zone and Texas’ half of the field in general will be their doom

Bad beat on Boise ruined a 4-0 round

Nice work

Have any pending futures?

Semifinal (Orange Bowl)


Penn State +1 -108

This is a tough game, but I'm going to side with the underdog Nittany Lions here (somewhat surprisingly, given my James Franklin views).

The big difference for me is going to be Penn State front 7. I think they have the ability to disrupt Notre Dame a bit, and force Leonard into situations where he has to use his arm -- which is not good for Notre Dame. I also think Penn State should be able to have some success here running the ball and controlling the clock.

Overall, I think Penn State has the better players and, despite their coach's shortcomings, that may be enough to pull out a win in a close game. So I'll take the point, as that's where I think the value is.

No no CFB futures for me

Good luck, Storm.

I think you're the first player I see with Penn State pick.

Semifinal (Cotton Bowl)


Ohio State -5.5 -108

I went back and forth on this game. My threshold for siding Texas was 7 points, and the number didn't quite get there.

I think what's not being talked about enough is Ohio State's defense against Texas's offense, because of the explosiveness of the Buckeye offense. The Buckeye defense is playing with an edge and violence that has elevated it to another level. They already had arguably the best defense in the country, and now it's playing even better.

Texas is going to have to rely on some splash plays to have a chance, and the Buckeyes are built to prevent those from happening. I don't see the Longhorns moving the ball with consistency.

While I don't expect Ohio State to operate as efficiently offensively as it has, and think Texas could get off to a fast start, I think Ohio State will figure out to win this game and cover the # as the superior team.
