I threw around my fair share of predictions this bowl season Vincenzo Scifo Jersey , and, knowing that I wasn't going to actually put any money on any games this year, I let the opinions flow. Let's check in to see if I still have the magic. Perhaps, with the way the stock market has behaved in 2008, it will turn out that I give better returns than Wall Street or Bernie Madoff.
Insight Bowl: Kansas - Minnesota
Spread: Kansas by 10
What did I say? Bet strong on Kansas. Bet on Kansas to blow the lid off this bowl. Minnesota's record of 7-5, while technically enough to say they can hang with equally 7-5 Kansas, has a startling trend to it. In the past four games, Minnesota is 0-4. They lost to Northwestern, Michigan Vincent Kompany 2014 World Cup Jersey , Wisconsin and, in the regular season home finale, to Iowa. The Iowa loss was a 0-55 embarrassment, which coupled with Kansas' narrow road win over Missouri to finish their regular season, has my betting money dancing the meringue around a magnificent sombrero. My insight on the Insight Bowl: Bet on Kansas in a blowout.
Was I Right? Yes
Gloating Comments: These lopsided games turned out to be pretty easy to predict, and the Insight Bowl was maybe the easiest one to see coming. Although Minnesota hung with the Jayhawks in the early going, Kansas couldn't be stopped, and by the third quarter the Golden Gophers were out of steam, and Kansas was up 35-14. Kansas wound up winning 42-21 Vincent Kompany World Cup Jersey , well over the ten point margin. If you suck with me, you got a return, however small, on your investment. Hopefully you took your winnings directly to the gold store to purchase something of tangible value. That's is, I hope you bought your gold, and maybe some more NCAA football tickets after you danced around a large hat.
