BCS Bowl Breakdown

Best Bet: Oregon -4 over Ohio State in the Rose Bowl

The venerable Tim Brown won my dad like a grand in the late 1980’s when they ran fantasy football leagues in smoke filled rooms in sports bars. He was a hell of a football player, and he knows how to handicap football. I agree with him on his Rose Bowl pick.

There’s just no way that the Ohio State Buckeyes get anywhere close to the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl.

Two teams that have baffled handicappers on the NFL betting board this season are the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings.

The Giants started the year on a tear, going an impressive 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS through the first five weeks of the schedule. Then, the wheels fell off the bus in New York. With an embarrassing 41-9 loss at home to Carolina (+9) last week, the Giants are a dismal 2-8 against the number (3-7 SU) over their last 10 games.

Basketball Betting Spread: 

The Week That Was: Heat 

The Heat’s third game of the past week came Wednesday night at New Orleans, before this article was written, but in the week’s first two games, it can safely be said that Miami stabilized its season.

In the Outback Bowl, NORTHWESTERN gets an opportunity to play on New Year’s Day, and opposing them is an Auburn team that started out the season looking like it might be an SEC contender, then faltered.

The Wildcats have the blood-and-guts leader in Mike Kafka, who will certainly benefit from a little rest, since he was nicked up for much of the season. This team has also covered ten of their last 13 games when getting points.

Of course, they’ve made headlines for all the wrong reasons. With 14 players suspended due to their participation in a campus brawl, the Spartans will have a depleted roster trying to matchup against one of the most potent aerial attacks in the country.
