To borrow a few quotes from the Grateful Dead... "... What a loooooong strange trip it's been...." for these Chicago Bulls. They've been on the road since 1/18 and tonight is their 7th game in 12 nights away from home. Chicago started out losing to Golden State and the Clippers, 2 losing team with a combined 33-56 record, then snapped back and won their last 4 all against winning teams (Phoenix 115-104, Houston 104-97, San Antonio 98-93 & OKC 96-86). Tonight is the Bulls last leg of their nearly 2 week trip and a perfect spot for them to get ... "... Busted, down on Bour-bon Street...." well you know the rest of the song.. Point is, between their anticipation of getting home and whatever festivities these Bulls players may have indulged in in one of the most festive cities in the country right now (with Mardi Gras right around the cornerand the Saints going to the Super Bowl), and also the foot injury Joakim Noah is dealing with (definitely not 100%), look for Chicago to suffer a bit of a let down here after finally making it back to .500 at 22-22 (first time since the were 6-6 on 11/21). Meanwhile, the Hornets have really been playing well lately winning 12 of their last 16 SU (10-6 ATS).

Don't look now, but the Grizzlies are 25-19 just 1 game back of these Spurs for 2nd in the Southwest division and 4 games back of the Mavs (3 in the loss column), so a win here on the road would be huge for this franchise and they know it. The time has come for the league to take this young team seriously, and tonight they get their chance against a much older Spurs team.

Great story behind this years' Jets team. They're showing a lot of heart and determination and they do have one of the best defenses football has ever seen, but we still feel it's not going to be enough to overcome today's task at hand... winning on the road in Indianapolis. Sure, you can make a solid case that they may perhaps lose the game but cover the number but in the NFL, betting with that mentality is not good business. We've asked ourselves one key question here: Will the Rookie Mark Sanchez led Jets represent the AFC in this years Super Bowl over Peyton Manning's Colts? No, we don't see it. Too many flaws in Sanchez' game and not enough in Manning's. That's the bottom line here. How long can Mark Sanchez lean on his defense? The Jets "D" has held Cincy & SD to 14 each in the first 2 weeks of the post season and they shut out the Bengals in the last game of the regular season to make it all possible. Sure, there's an argument that many of Indy's wins this season have been narrow ones, but that's what makes teams great: the ability to win week after week when facing new challenges... ie: having their hands full with teams they don't normally face and instead of writing the game off, they dig down and do what it takes to hang in and come away with the win.... and that's what Peyton Manning and these Colts have been doing for years. Unfortunately for them, the Chargers knocked them out of the playoffs early each of the last 2 years after winning the Super Bowl after the 2006-2007 season, and the Colts got knocked out the year before that by the Steelers in the opening round. Indianapolis has a huge edge here in playoff experience having made the post season each of the last 8 seasons.

Magic number 24. With 24 Indy points scored, we can't lose both the side & total. This is very important when considering the obvious risk of a Jets back door cover. And even if Indy doesn't score 24, we're backed up nicely with the teaser laying less than a FG (-2 or -2.5 depending on your line) and over 34 (once again nice value moving over the NFL totals key number of 37)  We like our position on this game of an Indy decisive win on the field and the stat sheets, and we also have a great deal of respect for the Jets defense and fully expect them to account for at least a TD along the way, which helps the over, but they also will not be able to fully contain Peyton Manning and as we've said before, Manning runs an offense like few other QB's ever have... it truly is a thing of beauty to watch when he's on and today, he'll be on ready to prove to everyone that pulling up the reigns in that regular season game against these Jets and ruining the Colts chance at a perfect season was wrong.

Here it is... most likely #4's last chance for another Super Bowl ring... the end of a great career. The stage is set... only thing is you have a New Orleans team playing great football standing in the way. And the Saints are home in the ultra loud Superdome which will have an effect on the running of Favre's offense which is why you're going to see a heavy dose of Adrian Peterson which, of course, favors the Under.

The Vikings have been built up in the press as having a great run defense led by the "Williams brothers", which they do, but what about their pass defense? Minnesota's defensive QB rating is 27th in the league this season compared to the Saints at #3 in that category which, along with the crowd noise, adds to the likelihood of a predominate ground game by the Vikes.

With both teams coming into today's game off of very impressive wins last week to advance, we feel the Saints are in the better spot to win here. Yes, New Orleans lost their last 3 regular season games but they were all meaningless where as Minnesota lost their last 3 regular season road games (@ Arizona 17-30... the same Cards team the Saints pasted last week, @ Carolina only able to generate 7 points, and @ Chicago as the Vikes defense gave up 36 points to the Bears) This ultimately cost them home field advantage, which will prove to be the difference today.

Much talk in the handicapping circles about the Under being the right side in this one. Yes, there are some pretty solid stats backing the Under here such as 5 straight Unders between these 2 teams and 5 straight Unders in this series in Cleveland (but 4 of the last 5 games had totals between 202-206, so big value does exist for the Over here). Also saw another interesting stat pointing to the Under... 23 of 25 Thursday Night TNT games between non conference elite teams (60% winning % or better) have gone Under. So why buck these trends? Well, first of all past happenings are not future indicators. As much as this may look like a big pile of free money, we need to look at the big picture. Look who will be on the floor tonight: LeBron, Kobe, Shaq & Pao. You're going to have Kobe trying to out do his former team mate and LeBron trying to out do Kobe to settle the best player in basketball debate and all the while you have a healthy Pao Gasol back in the line up. Sure, their last meeting stayed Under the number but remember that was on Christmas day in a game played at 5:00 ET (2:00 local time), and who knows what festivities the players were indulging in between Christmas Eve cheer and getting up early with their families (especially LA who was home... and oh, they lost the game laying -6). And had it not been for an extremely slow 1Q (23-19 Clev), the game probably goes over the 194 (87-102 F), as there were 54 4Q points scored. Perhaps it took a quarter to shake off the "Santa Clause Hangover"... ?

5th game in 7 nights for the Clippers which makes us a bit leery about the Under because it takes much more energy to play defense than it does to run the floor. But in this case, Denver is coming off of a tough OT win last night at Golden State (123-118), so we don't think the Nuggets will be in the mood to run much tonight. Instead, we can see these 2 teams settling into a slower paced game, and with that style of play, the dog plus he fat 10 points becomes that much stronger. We'll play a parlay only here for a 1 Unit risk as we feel both outcomes are dependent on each other so if we're right, we're getting paid +260 for our 1 Unit risked.

Our main play here is San Diego, but we also see tremendous value in this teaser as well.

NFL teasers are all about passing over key numbers. There's usually very little value in teasing NFL totals because the 6 free points are only about 15% of the entire expected amount of points scored where as those 6 points when applied to a side have a great deal more meaning because the average range of point spread covers are within 10 points either way of the line. In today's NYJ - SD game, we have the advantage here because we are now getting the Chargers -1/2  and the total side of the teaser passes over the key number of 37 (more NFL games land directly on 37 than any other number... about 5%).

Yes, NY has played very well over the past 3 weeks (on paper anyway) allowing just 29 points in the 3 games while scoring 90 themselves (30-10 avg score) . But remember, 2 of those 3 games you can really throw out because of non competitiveness by the competition. It started in Indy when the Colts decided they didn't care about their perfect season bid and replaced Peyton Manning with Curtis Painter when the Colts were up 15-10. And then the following week (final reg. season game), Cincinnati totally laid down which we feel was intentional just to avoid them having to play Houston in the WC Round as opposed to these Jets (didn't work out for the Bengals, but that was their thought process). OK, NY took it to Cincy last week to advance to today's Divisional Round, but now they must play (on the road) a red hot San Diego team and their high powered passing offense led by Phillip Rivers. The Jets have faced 3 Phillip Rivers caliber QB's on the road this season: New England (Lost 14-31), New Orleans (Lost 10-24), and Indy (Won but with no resistance). Also realize that Mark "Turnover" Sanchez has not turned the ball over at all in those last  3 games. Now we're not big fans of he "Due Factor" but if there ever was a spot for a rookie QB to be feeling a case of the jitters on the road and reverting to his early season form, this is it. We look for complete & total domination of these Jets by a much better San Diego team this afternoon.

Note on the line: 
There are big fluctuations on this line today ranging from SD -7.5 to SD -9 (Even). The reason for this is the move from 7.5 to 9 are pretty much "dead" numbers, so some shops are electing to deal -9 with the money line Incorporated into the number (SD 9 (even) NYJ +9 (-120). We'd rather the -7.5 obviously, but lay the -9 if you must, and that will give you a teaser position of SD -3.


Saturday 1/16 NFL Playoffs: +3.19 Units (Volume 3.50 Units)

New Orleans -7 / Arizona 4:30 ET 2.00 Units
New Orleans 45 Arizona 14 Winner
Once again, the Arizona Cardinals have won the hearts of many with their uncanny knack of winning the big games and advancing in the playoffs. But giving up 45 points is no way to head into today's contest with the high powered Saints offense. Arizona has given up 143 points (36 ppg) in 4 games this season against quality teams (31 to Indy 9/27, 34 to Carolina 11/01, and 33 & 45 to Green Bay in back to back weeks), so how do they expect to stop Drew Brees ad his offensive arsenal...? ... They're not! And besides Arizona's lack of defense, they also have a turnover issue... 24th in the league and are the only team in this years playoffs with a negative turnover margin (-7). Oh, and the Saints are +11 in turnovers, much of which can be attributed to the venue... the Superdome is a very loud, tough place to play for the visitor and when you have trouble communicating with your offensive line, mistakes happen.

As for Arizona's 6-2 SU & 5-3 ATS road record this year... so what? Who'd they beat? .500 teams at best and a few of the leagues bottom feeders: Seattle, Chicago, St. Louis & Detroit. But recent play (by both teams) is really what has created this number. New Orleans lost it' s last 3 regular season games (after losing their bid for the perfect season in the Dallas loss, the rest really didn't matter) and are on an 0-5 ATS run while we all saw what the Cards did to Green Bay last week and that's what's fresh on everyone's mind... The early season blowouts by the Saints seem to be a distant memory.

Last week we were on these Cardinals, but that was a whole different situation. They were home and in a very similar situation as last years WC game when Atlanta, led by rookie Matt Ryan, came to town and Kurt Warner out-dueled the youngster. And yes, the Cards got their road win in last years Divisional round (@ Carolina 33-13), but it's a pretty safe assumption that Drew Brees is in a different league than Jake Delhomme. Good luck in holding Brees to under 350 yards and the Saints to under 30 points.

Indianapolis -6 / Baltimore 8:15 ET 1.5 Units
Indianapolis 20 Baltimore 3 Winner
Very impressive showing for these Ravens last week as they went into Foxborough and totally dismantled the Patriots... or was it more a case of being the recipient of an off day by not only Tom Brady but the entire Patriots team? We feel the latter was the case last week. Couple last weeks final score in New England (33-14 Baltimore) with all the chatter out there about how Indy got knocked out of the playoffs in the first week each of the three seasons that they rested their starters in the final game of the regular season. Nonsense! Has nothing to do with what's going to happen today at Lucas Oil Field. Too many holes in the Ravens game to feel they will be able to reach down deep enough to keep it all together after such an impressive upset of the Patriots. On the other hand, never has there been a more efficiently run offense by a quarterback than the job Peyton Manning is capable of. When he's on, Manning is able to move his team down the field with masterful precision... it truly is amazing to watch. We look for another patented Peyton Manning performance tonight as Baltimore's season comes to an end.

Arizona 51 Green Bay 45 Winner
This line opened Arizona -2.5, just where it should have, but has been bet all the way up to GB -2.5. We're playing the Cards for a total risk of 3.00 Units but splitting our bet between buying a half point up to +3 (-125) and the money line (+120) which reduces our downside should Arizona lose by a FG. We stand to make 2.80 Units for our 3.00 Units risked with Arizona winning.

Normally we would cite that such a big move (5 points) is creating good value because of the nature of the move (public opinion), but in this case, our main reason for this play is that we feel the Packer good fortune is about to take a nose dive. Arizona is the side here. Remember last season as Arizona limped into the playoffs after finishing the season losing 4 of their last 6 to finish 9-7 and what happened? They beat Atlanta, at home, in the WC game 30-24 as -1.5 point favorites and went on to play in the Super Bowl. And Atlanta was the leagues hottest team last year heading into the playoffs winning 5 of their last 6 to finish 11-5. Same scenario this season as Green Bay has won 7 of their last 8  (7-0-1 ATS) to finish 11-5 including a 33-7 road thrashing of these Cards last week. We'll side with the veteran Kurt Warner at home to out perform the youngster Aaron Rodgers. -END

Baltimore 33 New England 14 Lose
Teaser: Baltimore +9.5  & Under 49.5 1.50 Units
Baltimore 33 New England 14 Winner
We like the Under here as we once again feel it is the right side, but the obvious problem exists when playing NFL unders that one fluke play can cost us the game. So with the way we've been just missing (lost both under plays yesterday by a combined 7 points and the Jets/Cincy Under 34 last Sunday night by 3 again on a meaningless late score), we're also playing a teaser here. Normally there's no value in teasing NFL totals because the 6 points extra you get is a much smaller percentage of the whole expected ange of scoring where as when teasing NFL sides, the edge lies in passing over key numbers (3, 4, 6 & 7). But in today's Baltimore/NE game, we feel the total is high to begin with (43.5), and when teasing up, we're entering the upper level of NFL totals and get a price of 49.5, 12.5 points higher than the keyest number in the NFL (more games fall on 37 than any other number in the NFL).

Without the threat of Wes Welker, Baltimore will have a much easier time keeping the leash on Brady and forcing the Pats into more of a running game behind Fred Taylor. And as for the Ravens, Joe Flocco despite having some very big offensive games this season struggles against quality defenses (Baltimore was held to 16 or fewer points 5 times this season and 20 or 21 points 4 times). Flacco's big games came against Detroit (48 points) & KC (38 points).

We're expecting plenty of long fields today with the punting game being key to who advances. This Baltimore defense is very solid notching 5 single digit performances this season and another 5 of 17 points or less. Also remember that it was Baltimore that came very close 2 years ago to ruining the Pats perfect regular season, in fact they would have as they were leading in the final minute and had NE stopped on a 4th down play which would have ended the game but the Ravens sideline called a timeout before the play thus giving NE another shot and the Pats of course went on to win the game. So Baltimore knows how to beat this Pats team and you can be sure they'll be fired up, especially on defense. -END

It's real easy to make a case for Cincinnati here to bounce back from the 37-0 beat down by these Jets last week to end the regular season. After all, it's no secret that the Bengals came with their "B" game at best last week... they didn't want to win that game nor did they want to look good for several reasons. First, with a win they paved the way for Houston to get into the post season instead of these Jets... not the match-up they were looking for today. So with a loss, NY gets in and here we are today. So of course, why should Marvin Lewis open the Bengals playbook to the Jets in a "meaningless" game? He shouldn't... and he didn't... he just let his team lay on the ropes and get pushed around the entire game while NY seemed like they were pulling out all the stops and exposing themselves completely.

So why not play Cincy here...? Because the one thing we feel relatively confident of is the continued success of the NY defense, especially with the passing of WR Chris Henry, leaving Chad O. the only real deep threat (which the Jets do have an answer for), NY will continue to dominate and contain the rushing attack of Cincy. And as for NY being able to score... we still feel Mark Sanchez is not ready to come through in the way needed to win on the road in the postseason... he will continue to lack in scoring points against a quality defense. You can't count the last 2 weeks against Indy & Cincy in lay-down games... we need to remember the lack of offense in real game situations against the elite defenses of the league: 16 & 14 points against New  England, 10/New Orleans, 17/Carolina and Sanchez & the Jets were only able to muster 32 points in their 2 meetings with the Bills this season. What are they going to do today?

The bottom line here is that the whole tone of this game will be defensive, and in low scoring games really anything can happen. It's always tough to go under such a low number in the NFL as 1 fluke score can create havoc, but this is the only play for us here. Can't see Mark Sanchez growing up today and getting out from under his INT problem (20 this season), and we also can't see the Jets "D" letting up at all here... -END

It's amazing that today's two wild-card games are not only rematches of the final regular season game, but those games were both shutouts with the Jets shutting out the Bengals 37-0 and the Cowboys blanking the Eagles 24-0. As mentioned in the NY/Cincy report today, the Jets were basically given that game on a silver platter, so you really can't read too far into it as for any revenge angles or value being created, but in the case of tonight's NFL wild-card matchup, the Eagles were humiliated in a game they really needed. By losing that game, Philly's road to the Super Bowl goes through 3 different cities, and none of them begin with a "P".

Today Dallas will be attempting the hat trick over Philly this season having already beat them twice this season... 20-16 in a close one in Philly back in November and last weeks' 24-0 shutout. Not only is it extremely difficult to complete a 3 game sweep in the NFL, it's going to be extremely difficult doing it against these Eagles in this spot. Andy Reid is 6-1 ATS in the playoffs as a dog and is 3-0 SU & ATS as a dog of 4 or less. Also, Reid's Eagles are 22-11 ATS and 14-5-1 as a dog when seeking revenge in a divisional rematch. Overall Reid is 14-7 vs Dallas and has never lost three straight to them. The Eagles are 35-17 in their last 52 times as road dogs.

Of course the flip side to all this is the fact that Dallas has been really playing well over the last 3 games of the season beating the Saints, Skins & Eagles by a combined score of 65-17, thus changing their position from limping into the post season to winning their division and staying home to open the playoffs. But remember, short term success for teams should not trump the season long work of teams. Philadelphia has been the more solid team this season by far. Remember early in the season with the Cowboys opening 2-2, and the erratic offensive production of Tony Romo the entire year... held to 17 or fewer points 5 times including Washington twice. Also remember Romo's past horrible post December results. Maybe the worm has turned, or maybe it hasn't. Now look at the Eagles... take away last weeks' slip and week 5's mishap in Oakland (9-13), and they've managed 30+ points in 7 of the remaining 14 games including a 45-38 rout of the Giants. The Eagles' "D" has held teams to 17 or fewer points 8 of their 16 games.

So with the combination of the revenge minded Eagles getting a free half point (game would normally be -3), and the Romo December offensive curse lurking in the shadows, we see the Eagles getting their acts together and advancing in a tightly played game. -END

We'll play the money line here giving us many more ways to win and when looking at the big picture, the extra lay on the price is justifiable. We're risking 2 Units at -180 to win +1.11 Units, the same amount that a 1.25 Units risk at -4 would yield. We just don't like to have to lay more than a FG in a game we feel will be a very tight defensive game. If we're correct here with the game staying Under and the Tide coming away with the national title, we'll make +2.93 Units for our 4 Units risked instead of +3.64 Units had we laid the points... not too far off AND we don't have to worry about covering -4.

Both teams really are fortunate to be here. Texas pulled off a last second win over Nebraska and Alabama you'll remember blocked a FG against Tennessee to win 12-10 back in October and then on the last game of the regular season the Tide had to come from behind on the road to beat Auburn 26-21 by scoring in the last 2 minutes (as -10 point chalk). We're siding here with the more complete team. Texas' offensive line will not have an answer for the Alabama defense and Nick Saban will be well aware of the efficiency of the Texas pass defense, so you're sure to see a predominate ground game from Alabama which of course favors the under and at the same time limits the number of snaps for Colt McCoy and the Texas offense. -END

TCU -7 / Boise State 8:20 ET 1.50 Units
Tcu 10 Boise State 17 Lose
This line opened at TCU -9 and was quickly bought down to -7 where it remains. Too much emphasis is being put on Boise State's week 1 win over Oregon (19-8). This game was played on the Smurf Turf where the Boise defense plays exceptionally well and besides, Boise was favored in that game (-3.5).

TCU had the tougher schedule and delivered, beating 2 ACC teams on the road, Virginia & Clemson, and held Clemson to just 117 yrds rushing. The Frogs also played (and blew out) 2 mountain west teams (Utah: 55-28 & BYU: 38-7) who beat PAC-10 teams in bowls this year. We feel TCU also will be the more motivated team having been passed for a chance to play for the national title... which really shouldn't be a surprise given the current bowl structure. The Horned Frogs will be out to prove a point to the nation that they were deserving of the shot.

New Orleans +7 / Carolina 1:00 ET 1.75 Units
New Orleans 10 Carolina 23 Lose
Much talk about the "new & improved" Carolina Panthers having won their last 2 in decisive fashion including a 41-9 thrashing of the NY Giants last week and the week before they dominated Minnesota 26-7 on national TV. Remember, teams are never as good as they look when blowing out an opponent and they're never as bad as when they're getting blown out. But these situations do have an affect on setting the point-spread, so today's Carolina - New Orleans game has the Saints getting a TD. Sure, New Orleans will rest their starters, but the Panthers still have to score points and continue to play defense. Believe it or not, behind the Saints starters are pro football players too! And you can believe that they'll be up for the task of getting work in as they head into the playoffs. We look for a return of the Carolina team today who was only able to score 10 or less against Dallas, Philly, Buffalo, NYJ & New England earlier this season.

Houston -7 / New England 1:00 ET 1.25 Units
Houston 34 New England 27 PUSH
New England clinched division last week with 35-7 win over Jacksonville. That win solidified the pats post season placement as they clinched the division and have nothing more to play for. Doesn't mean they have to lose, but Big Bill is all about winning Super Bowls, not proving points. He'll gladly take a road loss in this spot if it means getting his starters some extra time to rejuvenate. Meanwhile, Matt Shaub leads the NFL in passing and Houston is sitting with 8 wins (9 if they win today) and are on the outside looking into the playoff picture. They're still alive but barely... Today isn't about making the playoffs for Houston, it's about getting to 9 wins and giving their fans the treat of beating up on one of the NFL's elite... even if they're at half speed.

Philadelphia (ML) +135 / Dallas 4:15 ET 1.50 Units
Philadelphia 0 Dallas 24 Lose
We stand to make two thirds more profit here by taking the money line instead of +3 (-120) with Philly. It's a calculated decision to fore go the points for the extra payout as we just don't feel the game will be decided by a Cowboy 1, 2 or 3 point win... the only 3 possibilities that can ruin this play.

It's only fitting that the NFC east winner comes down to the last game of the season. But with the Cowboys going for their 3rd win in a row after beating the Saints & Skins, both on the road to end December, we look for the "Tony Romo Choke" to happen this afternoon in Dallas. Philadelphia is the better team here and have now won 6 straight in decisive fashion. The Eagles also have the edge on offense with Michael Vick being inserted multiple times throughout the game, and very effectively. He adds an element very difficult to defend which has a great deal to do with Philly's overall success this season.

There's also revenge here as Philly lost to Dallas on 11/08 at home 16-20 as -3 point favorites. There is a very solid 72% logical  trend in the NFL that fits here: road teams getting points seeking same season revenge for an earlier loss as favorites are 57-24 ATS. We are playing this game on the ML, but it's still an intriguing stat.


Baltimore -10 / Oakland 4:15 ET 1.50 Units
Baltimore 21 Oakland 13 Lose
"Win & In" for the Ravens. Don't let the hefty number scare you as Baltimore will leave nothing to chance as they know what has happened to a couple of good teams going to the Bay area and taking these Raiders lightly... Oakland upset Philly 13-9 back in October and Cincinnati 20-17 11/22). It will be all business for the Ravens this afternoon as they notch a wild card spot in California.

East Carolina +7.5 / Arkansas 5:30 ET 1.50 Units
East Carolina 17 Arkansas 20 Winner
This game will be won or lost by the defense of East Carolina. This is a nasty unit who has held opponents to 22ppg this season including holding Virginia Tech to 16, Tulsa to 17 & So. Miss to 20. Arkansas has the "home field" edge playing practically in their backyard and the crowd will be Hog dominant, but the fact that the Razorbacks are are playing so close to home and it's the Pirates making the trip to Memphis from East Carolina, and they'll be in Memphis for several days prior to the game, it also has the feel of a vacation for these kids. Bowl winners have much to do with the team more excited, and we give the nod to East Carolina in that department as they, as mentioned, bring their A-Game on defense today. -END

Michigan State +8 / Texas Tech 9:00 ET 2.00 Units
Michigan 31 Texas Tech 41 Lose
One of the main reasons the Mike Leach situation was put to bed (by firing the coach) was to eliminate distractions from the programs' bowl game, but c'mon... is that really possible? With all the hype and media coverage on the incident over the holidays, it has created quite a national stir and will not go away by getting rid of the problem... These kids, and coaching staff, are sure to be affected greatly. Football teams have a family-like bond between players & coaches, and when you remove Dad from the house, what happens.... just ask the kids from Cincinnati.

Meanwhile, MSU has their own problems, but they're of the normal variety... missing players due to suspensions. Often times, in cases like this the rest of the team puts forth efforts above and beyond what they realized they were capable of and in some cases the team actually performs better than if they were at 100%. Also realize that the Spartans haven't won a bowl game since the 2001 season when they beat Fresno State... they lost their last 3: 2003 Alamo Bowl to Nebraska, 2007 Champs Sports Bowl to BC and most recently last year the Spartans went down to Georgia on New Years Day in the Capital One Bowl. They'll smell blood today and exploit a Texas Tech team (& coaching staff) in disarray because of the actions of the dumbest coach n NCAA history.

South Carolina -3 (-130) / Connecticut 2:00 ET 1.25 Units
(We're buying a half point to -3)
South Carolina 7 Connecticut 20 Lose
This number is all the way down to S -3.5 from the opener of -7. The reason for the move is mainly due to the emotional rally cries from the Huskies as they remember fallen teagmmate Jasper Howard who was stabbed to death in a fight. Now of course we don't want to sound cold, but emotions of this sort can only go so far... don't forget that South Carolina has reasons of their own to want to win their bowl game as does every team that takes the field in the college post season. We're sure to see a very focused Huskies team today, but we have to ask just how many games can they hang tough in games only to fall a few points short? UCONN has lost  a total of 5 games this season by a total of 15 points and they're 10-2 ATS. These stats are also contributors of the drop in price here which has created the necessary value for us to play the Gamecocks today. And SC lost 4 of their last 6 to close the season, but they were dogs in all of them and on the road in 3 (Alabama, Tenn & Arkansas) and Florida at home.  Also the Huskies lost their starting QB Endres for the season in the Rutgers game and his replacement, Zac Frazier, although leading the team to 3 straight wins has as many INT's as TD's (9). Can see the UCONN bubble bursting this afternoon. 

Cotton Bowl
Cowboys Stadium - Arlington, TX

Oklahoma State +3 / Mississippi 2:00 ET 1.25 Units
Oklahoma 7 Mississippi 21 Lose
A chance for Oklahoma State to have it's first 10 win season in over two decades with a win over Old Miss in today's Cotton Bowl. The Cowboys are excellent against the run (# 6 in the nation... under 3 ypc), and that's Ole Miss's game behind QB Snead. Take Ole Miss out of that game by getting the early lead and it may very well be light's out for the Rebels as Jevan Snead has thrown 17 picks this season and has been known to cave under pressure. OSU's offense did end the season on a sour note getting shutout at Oklahoma 0-27, but the time off has given them time to recover from some injuries on the offense, namely QB Zac Robinson & RB Kendall Hunter. Also, Ole Miss is playing in the same bowl as a year ago which they won over Texas Tech 47-34... teams returning to their prior years' bowl games in which they won are just 3-13 ATS.

Florida -13 / Cincinnati 8:30 ET 2 Units

We're not big fans of laying big points in bowl games, but this is a special situation. Florida has been known to blow teams out and to pile the points on even with a win secure, so we're not so worried about the Gators "sitting on a lead" late in the game and allowing the backdoor cover.

Florida has much to be thankful for these past seasons with Urban Meyer but they now also have much to be fired up about. First, their beloved coach may not be their coach come the fall next year, and tonight they're playing in the Sugar Bowl instead of for the national title on Thursday because of their one loss to Alabama. And who do they have the honor of playing tonight? Undefeated Cincinnati! Yes, the Bearcats can score some points, but have they faced a defense like Florida's this year? They had to come from behind on the last game of the season to stay undefeated after allowing Pittsburgh to score 45 points. And the week before that, Illinois scored 36, then it was 21 by WV and even UCONN put up 45 on 11/07. If the Bearcat defense hasn't tightened up over the break, the Gators will score 60 tonight! And even if the "D" got their act together, as mentioned they're offense is facing a Gator defensive unit allowing just 12 ppg on the season. get the point?

The game has been moved all the way to -13 from the opener of -10.5, but the move we feel was made for no other reason but to make one fall into the classic trap of... "... Cincy won't win the game but they'll surely cover the big number..." Nope... don't fall into the trap. The Gators also have some meaningful historical trends behind them pointing to a Gator win & cover. Urban Meyer coached teams are 12-4 SU & 11-3-2 ATS vs undefeated teams. Florida is 9-1 ATS vs teams with a better record. Off a loss, Tim Tebow & the Gators are 4-0 ATS. This all points to what a well coached program Gator Football is. They come prepared for the big game and leave nothing to chance and, as mentioned, have been known to make a statement or two via the scoreboard regardless of the game situation. And as for Cincinnati, they're just 1-6 in bowls this decade including their disappointing 7-20 loss in last years Orange Bowl to Virginia Tech. And also add to the Cincinnati task at hand the fact that their coach recently left them for a job at Notre Dame... –END


Capital One Bowl
Citrus Bowl Stadium - Orlando, FL

Penn State +1 / LSU 1:00 ET 1.50 Units
Penn State 19 LSU 17 Winner
Penn State's chances to play in a BCS Bowl went out the window after losing to Ohio State (7-24) on 11/07. Instead the Buckeye's are playing in the Rose Bowl this afternoon. We don't feel this will cause any disinterest about PSU's bowl placement.. they're still playing on New Years Day against a very tough opponent and will look at today as a chance to make a statement. As for LSU, sure they've had the much tougher schedule this season and you can make a case for the Tigers being the better team on paper, but that's where it stays... on paper. This game will be won... and lost... on the side lines. Joe Paterno knows what it takes to win a bowl game given all the distractions of the extended time off. Joe Pa is 23-11-1 SU in bowls in his career. More recently, Les Miles is 4-0 in bowls winning by an average of 29 ppg over Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State & Georgia Tech while Joe Pa just 3-2, but remember, there's been a recent coaching shake-up in LSU with wide receivers coach DJ McCarthy getting fired following an NCAA investigation into LSU's recruiting practices. Also, Larry Porter (running backs coach) has gone to Memphis. Former Florida coach Billy Gonzalez has been hired as WR coach along with other duties assisting OC Crowten. That's all fine and good, and we're sure LSU will be just fine with their new staff... just as soon as they all have a chance to map out a game plan.... The break between the regular season and a teams bowl game is not enough time to implement new personnel.
