Football Spread Money Line Total Points Team Total Points
Mon 1/7 491 Ohio State +5½ -110

give me the points baby........these bowls always favor the dog and LSU doesn't run any kind of offense that will give OSU problems like a spread.........i can't remember the stat but doesn't the dog usually cover in this game?

Do I even have the matchups right? I think I do, LOL
Now....let me guess who the public will be on...
The public will pound VT at anything less than -4.5 IMHO, but actually the game should be closer to a pick em. Kansas could take that one outright of you ask me. Could be a really high scoring game if Kansas gets the offense going. Bottom line though, I'd LOVE to catch +4 or more with KAN....IMO that would be an absolute steal.
IF the USC line is actually that high, it should bring decently split money. No idea who (if anyone) I would back at a line like that. I'd like less than -14 for USC, and +21 for ILL. USC is damn good IMO, and while I like where ILL has come, I don't think they're in USC's league yet....especially not in a home game in the rose bowl for USC.
Public will be on WV if they get +7.5, or anything close to it....and it's tough to go against WV getting points like that, assuming they're healthy, which they should be by then. I'm not even sure why OU would or should be favored by that much, but like when OU played Boise last year and was favored by about 8, that's just the way it is. I'd be on Oklahoma if it happened to come out at -3 though....even though I know it won't be that low. But at over a TD, I have to respect what WV has done, and they may be the play. Anywhere in between 3 and 7, and I definitely don't know what I'd do. +10 or more, gimme WV.....but I don't think we'll see that either.
I think LSU will be about a -7 fave. Makes for a really tough call, but I'm pretty sure whoever wins will cover easily. Either LSU will go to town on em, or Ohio St will win outright. That's a game I definitely need more insight on, but off the top of my head, I'm just totally less than impressed with LSU and their so called defense, but, on the other hand, I can't help but remember what Florida did to Ohio St last year. That game was just ugly on the field, with it being more than obvious who had the better athletes. Public should be about split at that line though...so that's why I guess that. No need for any oddsmaker "trickery" there, as I think a flat -7 would do.
And, i doubt HAW will get any love at +10ish. A line like that should climb, and it a game tough to figure out, cause UGA could more than likely paste HAW by 30+, but how much does UGA really get up for facing them after possible feeling like they were "shafted" from the championship game? I mean common sense says when #1 and #2 lose, #3 and #4 move up....but that didn't happen. UGA can't be happy. Then again, they could be pissed and lay it all over HAW in frustration. Either way, the only way to cap that game is by trying to get a read on Georgia's motivation IMHO....assuming the line is in the -10 area.
Can't wait to see how close I am on the lines and predictions of how the public will fall on these games....but I can't help to agree that the matchups kinda suck, lol. WVU/OU, KU/VT and OSU/LSU will hopefully be good games, but I have little faith in ILL to hang with USC or HAW to hang with UGA, if UGA shows to play. The "BCS busters" have certainly shown up in the past though (UTAH pasting PITT, Boise beating Oklahoma), so I can at least hope for a good game there, can't I?
