   These selections today will be a defining moment on not only how I finish off 2009, but all the momentum in the world heading into 2010.
   
   Do I wish the events leading up to this release had gone a bit better? Absolutely I do, but just because they didn't go as planned won't stop me from coming with my biggest bowl best bet of the entire bowl season.
   
   DOES THIS MEAN THIS CLOWN WILL BE GIVING US LIKE 200 OR 300 DIME PLAY ON ONE OF THESE BOWLS SOON?
   
   I Can just see him trying to bang home a 300 dimer to start the year so he can doctor numbers the whole year if he can hit one play.
   
   We know what will happend when he comes out with his NEW YEARS 300 DIMER... HAHAHAHAHAAH
   
   FADE ON PLAYERS

   Thursday's Selections ... NOTE:
   Tennessee getting points against Virginia Tech was always going to be one of my strongest bowl plays.
   
   Yes, I would have loved to have built the bankroll a bit higher but the bottom line is it is what it is.
   
   It wouldn't suprise me if the Vols to beat Virginia Tech today just as I said North Carolina would on a Thursday night ESPN game as a 15 1/2 point underdog, one of my best calls of the year.
   
   I like Navy to hang with Missouri. The free pick of Minnesota over Iowa State should be a fun game to watch.
   
   That is my plan of attack on this last day of 2009. And it's a plan of attack I am very comfortable with.
   
   Time to close out 2009 in style.
   
   75 DIME - TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS - Who is Virginia Tech and the ACC to be laying more than a field goal to anybody out of the SEC?
   
   There are two teams playing for the national championship game and that is Texas and Alabama.
   
   Well, you saw Nebraska almost knock off the Longhorns in the Big 12 championship game and look what they did to Arizona last night.
   
   Well, Tennessee for all intents and purposes beat Alabama, even if their stupid field goal kicker couldn't knock thru a 44 yarder with under a mintue to play.
   
   That is the talent in which the Vols bring to the table in this matchup and for me the bottom line is this is way to many points for Tech to be laying.
   
   This is a Tennessee Vols defense that has gotten much better as the year has gone on and with ex NFL defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin on the sidelines for the Vols with this much time to prepare, I like my chances with the dog tonight.
   
   If Tennessee doesn't turn the ball over I feel just as I did with my call of North Carolina over Virginia Tech, I feel Tennessee can beat them to tonight.
   
   The ACC is 1-7 SU, and 2-6 ATS versus the SEC with Clemson getting the cover over Kentucky as the only win lately.
   
   And if you have an SEC bowl underdog facing a team off of a SU win, how about the SEC being 9-1 ATS.
   
   Grab more than a field goal with Tennessee and don't be suprised boys and girls if Tennessee wins this game outright.
   
   25 DIME - NAVY MIDSHIPMEN -Who is Missouri to be laying this kind of number to a Navy squad that is 3-1 ATS as an underdog this year?
   
   I am talking about a squad that had a near miss win at Ohio State to start the year, battled Pittsburgh on the road to a 13 point loss which was much closer than the final score would lead you to believe and wins over Wake Forest and Notre Dame.
   
   Navy loves to be bowling and it shows by their 4-1 ATS mark last 5 years.
   
   Military academies are 20-8-1 ATS and it starts with their discipline and their preparation. Most other schools can't match it.
   
   Navy is just the kind of team to give Missouri fits here and the Tigers are about to find out what Ohio State, Pitt, Wake Forest and Notre Dame found out, this is one pesky underdog.
   
   The Tigers were hoping for a bigger bowl game as they were kind of passed over for the Insight Bowl, which was where Iowa State got to go.
   
   Have to believe the team that wants to be here more is the team that will end up covering and for me that team is Navy.
   
   FREE SELECTION - MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS
