This should be deemed “The Sooners Shoudn’t Be Here Bowl” sponsored by the Utah Utes and Georgia Bulldogs. Losses by both teams opened the door for the Sooners to participate in the college football playoffs semifinal game vs. the top ranked LSU Tigers. We’re predicting the Peach Bowl will be a smash spot for Ed Orgeron’s crew. The Tigers are 10-3-2 ATS in the last 15 contests and have covered 5 straight against their last 5 Big 12 opponents.
In the eyes of Nick Saban, anything less than a championship is a failure. For us college football bettors outside of the state of Alabama, all we care about is a cover. The Tide will still be without Tua, but Mac Jones didn’t get to Alabama being an average QB. Don’t give up on Bama here as they still have an group of receivers and coach who hates to lose.
The San Francisco 49ers pulled off an exciting in last week at New Orleans. They’re getting a bit much love from oddsmakers here though, as they’re currently sitting at -11 vs. the Atlanta Falcons, who have also been playing decent. Can the Dirty Birds stay warm at the betting windows or will SF continue to impose their will at home where they’re won twelve of the last fourteen in SF vs. Atlanta?
Things change during the NFL season. At one point just a few short weeks ago, the Cowboys were surging and the Rams were sinking. Now in Week 15, the scenario is just the opposite. The +3 point spread here tells us all we need to know.
The 49ers look to get back on track after a close road loss to the Ravens when they head to New Orleans to take on the Saints. The Saints hit the board as a -3 point favorite but betting action has driven the line down to -2.5 at some betting shops. Read on to get Horne’s opinion on where your money should land.
Many industry insiders refer to touts as handicappers that flip coins to determine winners. This is true in many cases as many of these clowns don’t watch the games and can’t tell their ass from a hole in the wall. With the Panthers/Falcons being so bi-polar this year, even astute NFL handicappers may have to flip a coin to determine the winner on this one because both of these teams are unpredictable as hell!
Can anyone stop the Clemson Tigers? Their defensive allowance of 10.1 points per game is shrewd to say the least. Putting it mildly, all of the Cavalier’s strengths play into the strengths of Clemson. Virginia has had a nice season at 9-3 but the parade is likely to stop here in the ACC Championship game.
Between the dominance shown by the LSU and the fact that they won this very same matchup by 20 points with most of the same players last year, it’s surprising to see the SEC Championship game come out with an opening line of the Tigers only being favored by 7 points. Check out Jay’s take on how he thinks the game will play out!
Poor coaching lost the game for the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Jason Garrett continues to make questionable calls which leads us to believe he can’t be trusted when it comes to covering point spreads. However, there is still betting value with the total. Jay has a firm take on whether this Week 14 Thursday Night Football game goes over or under the posted total of 43.
I hate laying double digit favorites in the NFL. It’s a losing proposition (long term). In this case, we have Christian McCaffrey, who may go for 200 combined rushing/receiving yards. The Skins have absolutely no answers for Carolina’s style of play and their Haskins can’t hit the broad side of a barn right now. He holds the ball too long and lacks the experience necessary to win, much less play well on the road. This game is also a great option to teaser down to -3.
