TSE 2012-13 Bowl Picks – Summary
The 2012 college football regular season at The Saturday Edge ended on a successful note. We hit over 57% for the regular season. We had 10 winning weeks (out of 14 total) and at one point we had a six week winning streak. Definitely a good first year and I am quite convinced we can improve substantially on those numbers in year two.
But first things first. The 2012-13 college football bowl season is upon us and here is where you will find all The Saturday Edge cappers bowl picks summarized in one place. Please click on any cappers name for their 2012-13 bowl thread and more detailed information. Good luck to everyone and let’s have a great bowl season.

57% is considered doing very well? That’s terrible, IMO.
Dude, they hit over 57% on 400+ wagers. I would consider anything above 55% on that large of a sample size as very good. Anything between 56% and 58% should be considered excellent.
I have been following this site since week 4….excellent writers with great analysis. 57% IS excellent. DK, start your own site, fund it, and predict higher than 57%, then you can talk. Saturday Edge wouldn’t have as many followers as it does by putting out bad picks, bad information, and bad c/s. All of the guys here are stand-up gentlemen….IMO.
Best of luck rest of the way in the bowl season guys.
Tim
Wow, if you don’t think that 57% is good then you are in for a rude awakening!
No doubt! I can only hope for a 57%!
I signed up for the newsletter but didnt receive the first slate of bowl games. Do i need to do something else?
Danny, I just sent you a copy of last week’s bowl newsletter. Did you receive the first of the 7 college football handicapping tips?

Why does Sabert have Fresno St. as a 4 star pick on another site but not on this one? Thanks
John, here is his write-up: https://dailysportsedge.com/6678/sabertstxvii-2012-bowl-picks/
I’ve also played SMU TT Under 24.5 on the island tonight. BOL gentlemen, and merry Christmas!
I like it Jimmy. On paper at least, I have 24 at the high end of SMU’s score range. BOL and Merry Christmas to you too.
Fresno State is the perfect example of why handicapping a bowl game can be so difficult.
No opinion on minnesota from maggiore ???
I heard from him last week and he said he would have his Big 10 and BCS Bowl game picks ready to go by this week. However, I have not heard from him since. I sent him an email earlier today. Hopefully we get his picks asap.
i see more red losses then i usually am accostomed too
but someone has to tell me this answer what made 2 of your people bet rutgers? did you know they have a grammer scholl qb when you made choice?
that was maybe the worst acting as a qb that i have ever seen
Both those QBs were pathetic. I knew my Rutgers wager was in trouble when they kept entering Va Tech territory and coming away with nothing.
Rutgers was kicking a fg in the 4th qtr to go up by 13 while getting +2.5 against a team they had held to less than 100 yds offense to that point…kicker missed…he missed again in OT to tie
It happens…
No big deal
But did we chase a bad number on the play? No
Did we use poor money management? No
To the contrary, we got the best possible number (+2.5) BEFORE everyone else thought RU plus the points were a good opportunity, as the scarlet knights moved all the way to -1 on game day
We were ahead of the curve…
and if the game continued to multiple OTs we could have covered while others on the same side would have lost ats
That, Tom, is what you should be focused on…
good luck
Thank you so much for your time and effort for a profitable bowl season TSE. Ready to follow next year.
When’s the first game next year?
Correction, next season?
