Penn National - Race #4 - Post: 7:22pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $11,400 Class Rating: 58

Rating: 4

#6 CONTRADANCE (ML=8/1)
#2 ROSIE BELLE (ML=8/5)


CONTRADANCE - The last time I saw this horse was at Penn National in a race with an Equibase class figure of 65. Dropping significantly in Equibase class figure today puts her in a solid position right here. When the real racing starts, this filly should be flying down the lane. Carrying 7 pounds less this race. Trainer has her in a good spot. ROSIE BELLE - This horse coming off a nice race in the last 30 days is a solid contender in my book. Corujo is up for another contest today after sitting atop this equine for the 1st ride on December 9th and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. This racer wins a lot of money per start. I believe she will add to the lifetime earnings in this race. This filly registered a good rating of 46 in her last affair. That speed figure should be good enough to win this time. Took a significant drop in class rating last out at Penn National. Returning to a similar class level in this race. I'd expect a good performance.

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 MARILYN'S PASSION (ML=4/1), #3 ALPHA FORCE (ML=5/1),

MARILYN'S PASSION - Speed figs tell a narrative of deteriorating condition. Difficult to put any money on this filly on the win end. Likes to hit the board though. ALPHA FORCE - Didn't finish in the money on November 10th at Penn National. Followed it up with another less than stellar try. No picnic to wager on this vulnerable equine this time around. Make her show you something in a sprint affair before you play her in a race of 6 furlongs.

Go with #6 CONTRADANCE on top if we're getting at least 2/1 odds

# 6 NICO'S ON THE RUN 2/1

# 7 BAREFOOT COVE 4/1

# 5 FARMERS CHOICE 15/1

NICO'S ON THE RUN is the strongest wager in this race. Must be given a chance as he drops to compete against this less demanding field of horses. Spieth's ROI over the last 30 days automatically makes this horse a very solid contender. He should be given a chance given the respectable speed numbers. BAREFOOT COVE - He has been running well and the speed figs are among the best in this group. Reason to like this gelding as he has in the saddle one of the best jocks using winning percentages over the last month. FARMERS CHOICE - Has raced soundly in dirt route races. The speed rating of 71 from his latest contest looks decent in here.

# 9 REAGANIZE 9/5

# 5 CASH TICKET 5/1

# 6 DR SPAULDING 6/1

REAGANIZE is the best wager in this race. He has earned competitive numbers under today's conditions and should fare well versus this group of animals. Ran a solid last race. Demonstrates the look of a money-making play, averaging a solid 56 speed rating which is one of the best in this group. CASH TICKET - Kennedy will almost certainly be able to get this gelding to break out sharply for this event. DR SPAULDING - In this field, this horse is prominent in earnings per start in dirt sprint events.

#5 SWISS WAGER (ML=6/5)
#1 MR CATY (ML=9/5)


SWISS WAGER - The December 1st clash at Golden Gate Fields was at a class level of (95). Dropping to a lower class level considerably, so he should be in a good spot to take this race. You always have to be on the prowl for money generating jock/trainer teams; we have an instance right here. This gelding likes to be near the lead. Today's clash is a shorter distance and should enhance his likelihood of winning. Is ranked highest in earnings per start. A strong performance in this event can add to the lifetime bankroll. MR CATY - Gelding's last workout should have him fit for today's effort. PP lines show this racer with three improving speed figs. Esquilin should be on a live horse in this race. This gelding is rounding his way back into shape. Should compete well today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 FRISKY RICKY (ML=5/1), #4 SLAM A COCKTAIL (ML=6/1),

FRISKY RICKY - This entrant didn't go to the lead and didn't make up ground in the lane last time he ran. Extended layoff, then came back and finished eighth. Hard to expect much better this time. SLAM A COCKTAIL - This gelding hasn't had any recent good results in sprint events. No picnic to play him in this race.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - SWISS WAGER - Recording Equibase speed figures of 89, 96, 89 in the last three races, this mount is ready to defeat these thoroughbreds today.

Walk-on's Independence Bowl preview: Southern Miss vs. Florida State
Gracenote
Dec 13, 2017



WALK-ON'S INDEPENDENCE BOWL STORYLINES

1. Odell Haggins will continue to serve as interim head coach, keeping the seat warm for the newly hired Willie Taggart, when Florida State meets Southern Mississippi in the Independence Bowl at Shreveport, La., on Dec. 27. Haggins and Taggart are the first two African-American coaches in Seminoles football history, and Taggart - a Bradenton, Fla., native and lifelong Florida State fan - aspires to be the first African-American coach to win a national championship. “When we looked at a number of candidates, we knew Willie would rise to the top because of his passion about Florida State, and (having) the same vision that I have about the athletics department that he runs within his football program,” Seminoles athletic director Stan Wilcox, also an African-American, told the Orlando Sentinel. "The fact he happens to be an African-American is just icing on the cake. … It really is heartwarming to know over my career in fighting to open the doors for more minority head coaches in football and basketball, I finally got an opportunity to do that.”

2. Florida State needed to win its last three games, including a 38-22 victory at Florida on Nov. 25, to become bowl-eligible for the 36th straight season. The Seminoles erupted for 157 points during that span with wins over Delaware State 77-6 on Nov. 18 and Louisiana Monroe 42-10 on Dec. 2 after scoring 163 in their first nine games. Haggins ran the team against ULM after Jimbo Fisher resigned Dec. 1 to take the job at Texas A&M and the $75 million for 10 years that came with it, while Taggart will continue to evaluate the coaching staff since leaving his post as Oregon coach.

3. Southern Miss, which defeated ULM 28-17 on Sept. 16, is riding a three-game winning streak after a 28-27 victory over Marshall on Nov. 25. The Golden Eagles are led by senior running back Ito Smith, who has rushed for 453 of his 1,321 yards and six of his 13 touchdowns this season during the winning streak. Southern Miss will play in a bowl game for the third straight season, defeating Louisiana 28-21 in the 2016 New Orleans Bowl and losing to Washington 44-31 in the 2015 Heart of Dallas Bowl.

TV: 1:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Florida State -15.5

ABOUT SOUTHERN MISS (8-4, 6-2 Conference USA): Junior quarterback Kwadra Griggs (15 touchdowns, two interceptions) matched a career high with three TD passes versus Marshall. Griggs' favorite target is junior wide receiver Korey Robertson, whose 1,070 yards and 11 touchdowns lead C-USA. Smith accounted for 58.2 percent of the Golden Eagles rushing yards and 72.2 percent of their ground TDs.

ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (6-6, 3-5 ACC): The Seminoles' winning streak coincides with the improved play of freshman quarterback James Blackman (57.2 percent completion rate, 15 touchdowns, 11 interceptions), who has thrown six TDs and three INTs while completing 60.3 percent of his passes during that span. Running back Cam Akers (930 yards, seven TDs) needs 79 yards to break the school record for rushing yards by a true freshman set by Dalvin Cook in 2014. Junior running back Jacques Patrick (687 yards, six TDs), who rushed for a season-high 155 yards and two touchdowns versus ULM, is another strong threat out of the backfield.

New Era Pinstripe Bowl Preview: Iowa vs. Boston College
Gracenote
Dec 13, 2017



NEW ERA PINSTRIPE BOWL STORYLINES

1. Boston College enters its second straight bowl game and fourth in five years under coach Steve Addazio with loads of momentum as it takes on Iowa in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium on Dec. 27. The Eagles finished the regular season with five wins in their last six games, scoring at least 35 points in each victory, and freshman running back AJ Dillon was the catalyst with 1,432 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground. Addazio, whose 1-2 bowl record includes a loss in the Pinstripe Bowl in 2014, is aiming for his first eight-win campaign after finishing with seven victories in three of his first four seasons at the helm.

2. Addazio has a long way to go to match Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, whose 142 victories leaves him one shy of matching Hayden Fry on the all-time list at the school. Ferentz's current unit scored a mammoth victory over then-No. 3 Ohio State with a 55-24 triumph at home Nov. 4, but the Hawkeyes followed that up with back-to-back losses to sink to the middle of the pack in the Big Ten West. Ferentz is 6-8 in bowl games and has dropped five in a row.

3. Iowa has a 1,000-yard rusher of its own in senior Akrum Wadley, a New Jersey native who has reached that plateau in consecutive seasons and owns 34 career touchdowns - 27 on the ground. "Akrum is our marquee player from this area, and he is really excited, and he's had about 120 ticket requests," Ferentz told the media. Sophomore quarterback Nathan Stanley has 25 touchdowns against just six interceptions for the Hawkeyes, while the Eagles will be relying on senior Darius Wade, who took over under center after starter Anthony Brown suffered a season-ending injury Nov. 11 against North Carolina State and had his best game (16-of-20, 248 yards) in a 42-14 victory at Syracuse to end the regular season.

TV: 5:15 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Iowa -3

ABOUT IOWA (7-5, 4-5 Big Ten): The Hawkeyes feature a dynamic duo on defense in senior linebacker Josey Jewell and junior cornerback Josh Jackson, who are piling up the postseason accolades. Jewell, a three-time captain, led the Big Ten in tackles with 123 while Jackson is tied with Boston College's Lukas Denis and one other for the national lead with seven interceptions. Iowa has been outscored 75-19 in its last two bowl games.

ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE (7-5, 4-4 ACC): Although most of the roster has turned over since the Eagles lost 31-30 in overtime to Penn State in the 2014 Pinstripe Bowl, Addazio thinks that result can provide some motivation this time around. "They'll get a chance to enjoy the atmosphere of the city during the holiday season and we come back to the Pinstripe Bowl with a little added motivation," he told reporters. "We were part of one of the most exciting bowl games that season, but it didn't end the way we wanted. We have some unfinished business." Boston College piled up 581 yards of total offense in the win over the Orange and enters bowl season ranked 24th in the nation in rushing with 224.2 yards per game.

Foster Farms Bowl Preview: Arizona vs. Purdue
Gracenote
Dec 13, 2017



FOSTER FARMS BOWL STORYLINES

1. Purdue and Arizona didn't figure to be in contention for a bowl game at the start of the season, but they'll go head-to-head in the Foster Farms Bowl on Dec. 27 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Arizona was picked to finish last in the Pac-12 South, but ended up third after winning five of six conference games from Oct. 7 to Nov. 11. Purdue lost its final seven games last year for its fifth consecutive losing season, and then lost starting quarterback David Blough to a knee injury Nov. 4 against Illinois, but the Boilermakers rallied to win their final two games and qualified for a bowl game for the first time since 2012.

2. Arizona has one of the most exciting players in the nation in sophomore quarterback Khalil Tate, who finished the regular season with 1,353 rushing yards at a nation-leading 10.17 yards per carry. Tate didn't take over full time until the fifth game against Colorado, when starter Brandon Dawkins was injured on a late hit on the opening drive of the game, and the California native proceeded to rush for 327 rushing yards in the 45-42 victory - an FBS rushing record by a quarterback. Tate would total 1,207 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns over a six-game span before Oregon and Arizona State found ways to contain him during the final two games, resulting in losses by the Wildcats.

3. Injuries in the Purdue offensive backfield have opened the door for junior Markell Jones to emerge as the primary ball carrier, and he was exceptional in the final regular-season game, rushing for a career-high 217 yards on 31 carries in the 31-24 victory against Indiana. Jones surpassed D.J. Knox as the leading rusher on the season, and Knox is expected to be limited against Arizona after undergoing thumb surgery shortly after the Indiana game. Tario Fuller and Richie Worship have also played big roles in the running game at various times during the season, but Fuller (ankle) and Worship (knee) are both out for the season, further solidifying Jones as the clear-cut No. 1 ball carrier.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Arizona -3.5

ABOUT ARIZONA (7-5, 5-4 Pac-12): Colin Schooler wasn't a big-time recruit out of Mission Viejo High School in Southern California last year, and didn't receive a Pac-12 scholarship offer until the Wildcats came forward on Dec. 14, 2016. Schooler has rewarded the Wildcats with a fantastic season that resulted in him earning Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year honors. Schooler finished 13th in the conference tackles and second among freshmen at 7.3 a game, and his 13.5 tackles for loss also tied for fourth in the Pac-12.

ABOUT PURDUE (6-6, 4-5 Big Ten): The Boilermakers will count on senior linebackers Ja'Whaun Bentley and Danny Ezechukwu to help contain Tate, and they should be especially motivated in their first bowl-game experience. Bentley, who was fifth in the Big Ten and tops on Purdue at 8.1 tackles a game, sat out the final regular-season game against Indiana with a bad ankle, but is expected to be 100 percent against Arizona. Ezechukwu was second on the team with five sacks and tied for the Big Ten lead with three fumble recoveries.

Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl Preview: Texas vs. Missouri
Gracenote
Dec 14, 2017



ACADEMY SPORTS + OUTDOORS TEXAS BOWL STORYLINES

1. Former Big 12 rivals reconnect when Missouri faces Texas in the Texas Bowl on Dec. 27 in Houston. The Longhorns own a 17-6 record against the Tigers and have captured 15 of the last 17 meetings, but Missouri won the most recent clash 17-5 at home in 2011 – its last season in the Big 12. Both teams are back in bowl games for the first time in three years.

2. Missouri possessed one of the nation’s most prolific offenses this season, particularly during its current six-game winning streak. Quarterback Drew Lock has thrown an SEC-record 43 touchdown passes this season – the most in the country – and has helped the Tigers put up at least 45 points in six straight games. The big question is whether or not Missouri can sustain that success with someone else calling the plays after offensive coordinator Josh Heupel was named the new head coach at Central Florida.

3. Texas already knows it will be without one key player on each side of the ball, as safety DeShon Elliott and offensive tackle Connor Williams have announced they will skip the game to prepare for the NFL draft, and linebacker Malik Jefferson has yet to make a decision. Elliott ranked second on the team in tackles (63) and tackles for loss (8.5) and led the Longhorns with six interceptions and three forced fumbles while Williams is the team’s top offensive lineman. It would be an even bigger loss if Jefferson, the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, elects to declare for the draft and skip the game.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Missouri -3


ABOUT TEXAS (6-6, 5-4 Big 12): The Longhorns lean on an excellent defense that ranks 31st in the nation in scoring (21.7 points) and 42nd in total defense (363.6 yards) despite playing in the offense-dominated Big 12. The team's weakness is its secondary, particularly with Elliott leaving and cornerback Holton Hill suspended, so the Longhorns might have trouble with Lock and the Tigers’ potent passing game. The offense has been inconsistent, resulting in Shane Buechele and Sam Ehlinger splitting time at quarterback, and coach Tom Herman hasn’t committed to a starter for the bowl game.

ABOUT MISSOURI (7-5, 4-4 SEC): The Tigers are trying to join the 2008 Rutgers squad as the only teams in college football history to win eight games after starting 1-5. They emerged from their early-season struggles thanks to an offense that can hurt opponents in myriad ways – Missouri ranks 14th nationally in passing (311.9 yards) and 35th in rushing (199.6). The Tigers had their share of trouble on defense, especially against the pass, but they rank 13th in the country with 92 tackles for loss.

Walk On's Independence Bowl betting preview and odds: Southern Miss vs. FSU

Florida State true freshman quarterback James Blackman showed some signs of improvement in the Seminoles' winning streak to end the season. Will he be the difference for FSU in the Independence Bowl?

Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles at Florida State Seminoles (-17, 49)

Game to be played at the Independence Stadium in Shreveport, Louisiana

Odell Haggins will continue to serve as interim head coach, keeping the seat warm for the newly hired Willie Taggart, when Florida State meets Southern Mississippi in the Independence Bowl at Shreveport, La., on Dec. 27. Haggins and Taggart are the first two African-American coaches in Seminoles football history, and Taggart - a Bradenton, Fla., native and lifelong Florida State fan - aspires to be the first African-American coach to win a national championship.

“When we looked at a number of candidates, we knew Willie would rise to the top because of his passion about Florida State, and (having) the same vision that I have about the athletics department that he runs within his football program,” Seminoles athletic director Stan Wilcox, also an African-American, told the Orlando Sentinel. "The fact he happens to be an African-American is just icing on the cake. … It really is heartwarming to know over my career in fighting to open the doors for more minority head coaches in football and basketball, I finally got an opportunity to do that.”

Florida State needed to win its last three games, including a 38-22 victory at Florida on Nov. 25, to become bowl-eligible for the 36th straight season. The Seminoles erupted for 157 points during that span with wins over Delaware State 77-6 on Nov. 18 and Louisiana Monroe 42-10 on Dec. 2 after scoring 163 in their first nine games. Haggins ran the team against ULM after Jimbo Fisher resigned Dec. 1 to take the job at Texas A&M and the $75 million for 10 years that came with it, while Taggart will continue to evaluate the coaching staff since leaving his post as Oregon coach.

Southern Miss, which defeated ULM 28-17 on Sept. 16, is riding a three-game winning streak after a 28-27 victory over Marshall on Nov. 25. The Golden Eagles are led by senior running back Ito Smith, who has rushed for 453 of his 1,321 yards and six of his 13 touchdowns this season during the winning streak. Southern Miss will play in a bowl game for the third straight season, defeating Louisiana 28-21 in the 2016 New Orleans Bowl and losing to Washington 44-31 in the 2015 Heart of Dallas Bowl.

TV: 1:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: FSU opened as low as a 14-point fave and the spread has grown a full field goal since. Some shops opened the total at 50 but just about all locations are dealing 49 as we inch closer to kickoff.

INJURY REPORT:

Southern Miss - LB Sherrod Ruff (Undisclosed, Questionable)

Florida State - LB Matthew Thomas (Undisclosed, Questionable), DB Ermon Lane (Undisclosed, Questionable), DE Josh Sweat (Left team, Out), DB Tarvarus McFadden (Left team, Out), DB Derwin James (Left team, Out), TE Alex Marshall (Hand, Questionable), OL Brady Scott (Foot, Questionable), DB Calvin Brewton (Knee, Questionable), DT Darvin Taylor II (Shoulder, Questionable), OL David Robbins (Undisclosed, Questionable), WR Malique Jackson (Hamstring, Questionable), LB DeCalon Brooks (Knee, Questionable), LB Delvin Purifoy (Ankle, Questionable).

WEATHER REPORT: Game-time temperature is expected to be around 41 degrees with overcast skies. The wind will be blowing 10 mph from the Northeast.

ABOUT SOUTHERN MISS (8-4 SU, 8-4 ATS, 6-6 O/U): Junior quarterback Kwadra Griggs (15 touchdowns, two interceptions) matched a career high with three TD passes versus Marshall. Griggs' favorite target is junior wide receiver Korey Robertson, whose 1,070 yards and 11 touchdowns lead C-USA. Smith accounted for 58.2 percent of the Golden Eagles rushing yards and 72.2 percent of their ground TDs.

ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (6-6 SU, 3-7-1 ATS, 3-8 O/U): The Seminoles' winning streak coincides with the improved play of freshman quarterback James Blackman (57.2 percent completion rate, 15 touchdowns, 11 interceptions), who has thrown six TDs and three INTs while completing 60.3 percent of his passes during that span. Running back Cam Akers (930 yards, seven TDs) needs 79 yards to break the school record for rushing yards by a true freshman set by Dalvin Cook in 2014. Junior running back Jacques Patrick (687 yards, six TDs), who rushed for a season-high 155 yards and two touchdowns versus ULM, is another strong threat out of the backfield.

TRENDS:

*FSU is 9-2-1 ATS in its last 12 bowl games.
*Southern Miss is 1-3-1 ATS in its last five postseason appearances.
*The under is 5-0-1 in the Golden Eagles' last six non-conference games.
*FSU is 0-4-2 ATS in its last six games against teams with winning records.

CONSENSUS: Players are split on this matchup with a slight 51 percent backing the Golden Eagles. Bettors seemed to like the Seminoles when the spread was at 14 and now like Southern Miss with the spread up to 17. There isn't the same type of division on the total. Close to 65 percent of players like the game to go over the 49-point total.

New Era Pinstripe Bowl betting preview and odds: Iowa vs. Boston College

Freshman running back AJ Dillon is the engine behind Boston College's offense. He piled up 1432 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground during the regular season for the Eagles.

Iowa Hawkeyes at Boston College Eagles (+2.5, 45.5)

Game to be played at the Yankee Stadium in New York, New York.

Boston College enters its second straight bowl game and fourth in five years under coach Steve Addazio with loads of momentum as it takes on Iowa in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium on Dec. 27. The Eagles finished the regular season with five wins in their last six games, scoring at least 35 points in each victory, and freshman running back AJ Dillon was the catalyst with 1,432 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground. Addazio, whose 1-2 bowl record includes a loss in the Pinstripe Bowl in 2014, is aiming for his first eight-win campaign after finishing with seven victories in three of his first four seasons at the helm.

Addazio has a long way to go to match Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, whose 142 victories leaves him one shy of matching Hayden Fry on the all-time list at the school. Ferentz's current unit scored a mammoth victory over then-No. 3 Ohio State with a 55-24 triumph at home Nov. 4, but the Hawkeyes followed that up with back-to-back losses to sink to the middle of the pack in the Big Ten West. Ferentz is 6-8 in bowl games and has dropped five in a row.

Iowa has a 1,000-yard rusher of its own in senior Akrum Wadley, a New Jersey native who has reached that plateau in consecutive seasons and owns 34 career touchdowns - 27 on the ground.

"Akrum is our marquee player from this area, and he is really excited, and he's had about 120 ticket requests," Ferentz told the media.

Sophomore quarterback Nathan Stanley has 25 touchdowns against just six interceptions for the Hawkeyes, while the Eagles will be relying on senior Darius Wade, who took over under center after starter Anthony Brown suffered a season-ending injury Nov. 11 against North Carolina State and had his best game (16-of-20, 248 yards) in a 42-14 victory at Syracuse to end the regular season.

TV: 5:15 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: Iowa opened as a 3-point favorite but the line has come down to 2.5 as the game date approaches. There hasn't been much movement on the total. It's gone as high as 46 and as low as 45. Most shops are dealing 45.5.

INJURY REPORT:

Iowa - DB Miles Taylor (Leg, Probable), OL Alaric Jackson (Undisclosed, Out), OL Cole Banwart (Undisclosed, Questionable), DB Michael Ojemudia (Undisclosed, Questionable), WR Nick Easley (Undisclosed, Questionable), DB Nick Easley (Knee, Probable).

Boston College - DE Harold Landry (Out, Ankle), RB Doroland Dorceus (Undisclosed, Questionable), DB Jonathan Cook (Undisclosed, Questionable), DB Josh Perry (Undisclosed, Questionable), DL Ernest Suttles (Suspension, Out).

WEATHER REPORT: 25 degrees and partly cloudy at kickoff - 10 mph winds throughout the game

ABOUT IOWA (7-5 SU, 5-6-1 ATS, 5-7 O/U): The Hawkeyes feature a dynamic duo on defense in senior linebacker Josey Jewell and junior cornerback Josh Jackson, who are piling up the postseason accolades. Jewell, a three-time captain, led the Big Ten in tackles with 123 while Jackson is tied with Boston College's Lukas Denis and one other for the national lead with seven interceptions. Iowa has been outscored 75-19 in its last two bowl games.

ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE (7-5 SU, 8-3-1 ATS, 4-7-1 O/U): Although most of the roster has turned over since the Eagles lost 31-30 in overtime to Penn State in the 2014 Pinstripe Bowl, Addazio thinks that result can provide some motivation this time around. "They'll get a chance to enjoy the atmosphere of the city during the holiday season and we come back to the Pinstripe Bowl with a little added motivation," he told reporters. "We were part of one of the most exciting bowl games that season, but it didn't end the way we wanted. We have some unfinished business." Boston College piled up 581 yards of total offense in the win over the Orange and enters bowl season ranked 24th in the nation in rushing with 224.2 yards per game.

TRENDS:

*Boston College is 8-0-1 ATS in their last nine games overall.
*The under is 24-10-1 in BC's last 35 games.
*The under is 5-1 in Iowa's last six non-conference games.
*Iowa is 1-4 ATS in its last five bowl games.

CONSENSUS: About 63 percent of players are betting the Hawkeyes to cover as 2.5-point chalk while 54 percent are on the under.

INJURY REPORT:

Texas - OL E. Rodriguez (Probable, Ankle), DB P. Locke III (Probable, Ankle), OL P. Vahe (Probable, Knee), DB B. Jones (Questionable, Head), LB J. McCulloch (Questionable, Undisclosed), LB M.

WEATHER REPORT: Dome.

ABOUT TEXAS (6-6 SU, 7-4-1 ATS, 3-9 O/U): The Longhorns lean on an excellent defense that ranks 31st in the nation in scoring (21.7 points) and 42nd in total defense (363.6 yards) despite playing in the offense-dominated Big 12.

The offense has been inconsistent, resulting in Shane Buechele and Sam Ehlinger splitting time at quarterback, and coach Tom Herman hasn’t committed to a starter for the bowl game.

ABOUT MISSOURI (7-5 SU, 7-5 ATS, 7-5 O/U): The Tigers are trying to join the 2008 Rutgers squad as the only teams in college football history to win eight games after starting 1-5. They emerged from their early-season struggles thanks to an offense that can hurt opponents in myriad ways – Missouri ranks 14th nationally in passing (311.9 yards) and 35th in rushing (199.6). The Tigers had their share of trouble on defense, especially against the pass, but they rank 13th in the country with 92 tackles for loss.

TRENDS:

* Longhorns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games.
* Tigers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
* Under is 4-0 in Longhorns' last 4 games in December.
* Over is 4-0 in Tigers' last 4 bowl games.
* Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

CONSENSUS: The public is siding with the underdog Texas Longhorns at a rate of 54 percent and the Over is getting 66 percent of the totals action.

CF (275) PURDUE VS (276) ARIZONA

Take: UNDER

Reason: Your free play for Wednesday, December 27, 2017 is in the Foster Farms Bowl between Purdue and Arizona. The Foster Farms bowl has Purdue (6-6 S/U, 8-4 ATS) taking on Arizona (7-5 S/U, 6-6 ATS). Purdue has been a very good covering team of late, going 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games on grass. This game pits the Purdue defense (19.3 ppg allowed) against the Arizona offense (41.8 ppg). Purdue's defense ranks 28th nationally, while it's rush defense is 6th in the country. Arizona is led by QB Khalil Tate who can throw and run. Take finished the season with 1289 passing and 1353 yards rushing despite missing almost the entire first month of the season. I'm going with the UNDER in this game. I believe that Purdue's defense will be able to contain Tate and Arizona and thus this game will go UNDER the total.

Southern Miss vs. Florida State
Southern Miss+16½

WALK ON'S INDEPENDENCE BOWl - Independence Stadium - Shreveport, LA

Florida State's HC Jimbo Fisher after a crap season, dodged town for a better paying gig at Texas A&M. Now the Seminoles have a group of kids that he recruited feeling abandoned and a coaching staff trying to deal with the havoc of transition. It was a frustrating season in Tallahassee overall and it cannot all be blamed on starting QB Deondre Francois getting injured. the team as a whole, despite of being jam packed full of 4 and 5 star recruits just didn't have any oomph. On the Season the Noles were jus 0-7 ATS vs above .500 opposition and I'm betting they finish a ugly campaign on a down note vs a Southern Miss side that will play a motivated game vs a disinterested discombobulated group.

Bowl favorites of 16 or more points are 2-8 ATS L/21 seasons.

CFB Favorites of 10.5 to 21 points (FLORIDA ST) - after going over the total by 21 or more points total in their last three games against opponent after going over the total by 42 or more points total in their last five games are 9-33 ATS L/10 seasons for a 79% go against conversion rate for bettors.

Play - Southern Mississippi (Game 235).

Edges - Golden Eagles: Bowl dogs of 16 or more points are 8-3 ATS since 1996… Seminoles: 0-7-1 ATS versus fellow bowl teams this season… With bowl teams with interim coaches just 6-18 ATS after scoring 32 or more points in their final game f the season, we recommend a 1* play on Southern Mississippi. Thank you and good luck as always.

Independence Bowl 1:30 ET Shreveport, LA

Seminoles (-) over Golden Eagles

So here we have a 6-6 school a three-score favorite over an 8-4 club both SU and ATS as Florida State is a heavy favorite. The Seminoles have won their last three to become bowl eligible but they were a horrid 3-8-1 ATS. The key here is that FSU is 7-1 ATS in their last eight non-conference games. Lay it! Take the SEMINOLES!

NBA | Dec 27, 2017
Raptors vs. Thunder
Raptors+4

I'm taking the points with the Raptors on Wednesday. Tough loss for Toronto last night in Dallas and it certainly looked like a few of their key players were thinking more about OKC than they were the Mavericks. Toronto, the league's 4th best team in offensive efficiency, made just 33.7% of their FGA, including 9 of 31 3-pointers. DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry were horrible, making a combined 9 of 33 shots...and remember, DeRozan has made nearly half his shots on the season. Toss in a poor shooting night from Serge Ibaka and you get what you got, a Toronto loss. OKC has been warming up, but reading their quotes off the win over Houston and you'd think they believe they're in the Finals, as though they've figured it all out. We still don't trust Carmelo's shot and OKC is still in the bottom half of the league in defensive efficiency. The Thunder are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 against teams with a winning record. Meanwhile, Toronto is on a 5-1 ATS run when playing in the second of back-to-back nights. Toronto won six in a row outright after each of their last two losses, covering five of six the last time and four of six the first time. And finally, the Raptors have covered four in a row in OKC. I'm taking the points with Toronto on Wednesday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

CFB Game #238 Wednesday Iowa Hawkeyes (-) vs Boston College Eagles in Pinstripe Bowl @ Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York @ 5:15 ET

The Eagles covered their final 9 games of the season and, that said, the last thing they needed was time off. That will most certainly break the momentum that this Boston College team had and that includes at the betting window. I know the location of this game favors the Eagles over the Hawkeyes but this Big Ten team is going to come ready to play. Remember that this is a big game for Iowa as their recent bowl history hasn't been good. That said, remember what the Hawkeyes did in their biggest regular season game this year. They blasted Ohio State and put up 55 points on them. Iowa also closed the season strong with a big win over Nebraska where they put up 52 points on the Cornhuskers. That said, I like the value here with the Hawkeyes and the current spread (2.5) is low enough that the money line (135) is actually the way I am recommending here if you have access to it. Great value on the Hawkeyes to get their first bowl win since 2010. Keep in mind their last 5 bowl opponents were Oklahoma, LSU, Tennessee, Stanford, and Florida. They'll take advantage of taking a step down in level of competition for this one! Free Pick IOWA

TOMMY BRUNSON

Wednesday comp play is Boston over Charlotte.

The Celtics have definitely cooled since their blazing start, as Boston enters this game off a Christmas Day loss at home to Washington as the C's dropped to 1-3 their last 4 games, and just 4-5 straight up overall their last 9 games.

Expect them to get back into the win column against the 12-21 Hornets who have lost 5 of their last 7 entering play for Wednesday.

The Celts have won the last 5 in this series, and 9 of the last 10 straight up, while sporting an 8-1-1 against the spread mark in those 10 meetings.

As the small road chalk, side with the C's over the Bees.

4* BOSTON

JEFF BENTON

Wednesday freebie is the Under in the Mavericks-Pacers game.

Dallas played at home last night, and held Under the total against Toronto. Look for another Under tonight, as the Mavs have held Under the total in 6 of their last 9 games.

Indiana was also on court last night in a loss at Detroit that held Under the total, as the Pacers could only muster 83 points of offense. Indy has held Low now in 7 of their last 10 games.

With both teams a little "fatigued" from playing just last night, look for the offenses to start a little slower than normal, and look for this Mavericks-Pacers meeting to end up Under the posted total.

2* DALLAS-INDIANA UNDER

NHL Betting Cheat Sheet and Odds: Matthews and the Leafs take to the desert

Vegas Hits the Road

Even the most novice NHL bettor knows that the expansion Vegas Golden Knights have been a sensational home play - but the top team in the Western Conference comes out of its holiday break looking to improve its road showing with games on consecutive nights against the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings. The Golden Knights are a modest 8-7-1 away from Vegas - compared to a ridiculous 15-2-1 home mark - but have already won all three meetings with the Ducks and Kings so far this season. Vegas has moved all the way up to +1,600 on Bet365 to do the improbable and win the Stanley Cup in its first season.

Headed in Opposite Directions

The Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins have been polar opposite teams over the same six-week stretch as they prepare to do battle Wednesday night at TD Garden. The Senators have just three victories in their previous 18 games to tumble all the way down to second-last in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Bruins have 13 wins over their past 17 games to vault themselves into third spot in the competitive Atlantic Division. But Ottawa might just have a psychological edge in this one, having won 10 of the past 12 meetings - including a six-game triumph in last year's Stanley Cup playoffs.

Auston Comes Home

Toronto Maple Leafs superstar Auston Matthews will need plenty of tickets Thursday night as he returns to his native Arizona for a showdown with the Coyotes. Matthews has led the Maple Leafs to second place in the Atlantic as they kick off a three-game road trip that finishes with a New Year's Eve encounter with Vegas. Toronto is in good position to improve its standing in the Eastern Conference, as the Coyotes come into this one with just eight victories on the season. The Coyotes come in ranked second-last in the league in both goals scored per game (2.2) and average goals allowed (3.5).

Injury Updates

* The Colorado Avalanche will be without defenseman Tyson Barrie for a while after he suffered a broken hand in his final game prior to the holiday break. The Avalanche are already struggling on the back end, ranked 24th overall in goals against per game.

* The Columbus Blue Jackets have suffered a major blow, losing forward Cam Atkinson for the next 4-to-6 weeks with a fractured right foot. The Blue Jackets are an unbelievable 10-1-0 SU in games in which Atkinson has recorded at least one point.

* Times have been tough for the St. Louis Blues since losing talented forward Jaden Schwartz to an ankle injury. The Blues have just three wins in eight games without Schwartz, and have scored just 12 total goals over that stretch.

Player News

* The scoring leader at the NHL's holiday break is Tampa Bay Lightning superstar Nikita Kucherov, whose 51 points are five more than runners-up John Tavares and Josh Bailey. Tampa leads the NHL in goals at 3.74 per game and is 21-14-0 O/U to date.

* Edmonton Oilers phenom Connor McDavid ranks outside the top 5 in league scoring, and his team could use an uptick after the break. Edmonton has won eight of its previous 10 games in which McDavid has registered at least one point.

* San Jose netminder Aaron Dell might have waited until he turned 26 to reach the NHL, but he's making the most of his chance. Dell has won each of his previous five starts, while San Jose is 4-8-1 O/U in his 13 appearances this season.

Stanley Cup Futures

* The high-scoring Lightning come out of the holiday break with the best odds to win the Stanley Cup title - and it isn't close. Tampa Bay is +525 on Bet365 entering Wednesday's action; Toronto and New Jersey are next in line at +1,000.

* Picking a winner out of the Western Conference? Might as well throw darts at this point. Four teams are listed between +1,400 and +1,600, with the Kings at the head of the pack; St. Louis and Nashville are next in line at +1,500, followed by expansion Vegas.

* You'd need to be quite brave to take the Coyotes to win the championship - but the payoff would be legendary. Arizona comes out of the holiday rest period at a whopping +400,000 on Bet365 to come from last place and win the Stanley Cup title.

Over/Under Trends

* The Sharks are well on their way to being the worst over play in hockey for the second consecutive season. San Jose has just 11 overs through its first 34 games of 2017-18, after posting just 22 overs all of last season.

* The New York Islanders continue to be a premier over play, having exceeded the total in each of their previous six games - three of which carried a total of 6. New York is 25-10-1 O/U for the year, highlighted by a 14-3-0 mark at home.

NBA | Wizards vs Hawks
Play on: Hawks +6 -106 at 5Dimes

10* FREE NBA PICK (Hawks +6)
I think we are getting a great price here on the Hawks at home against the Wizards. Washington comes in off an impressive 111-103 win over the Celtics on Christmas Day. A game they had circled on the calendar given how much the two teams don't like each other and the Celtics being the ones responsible of knocking them out of the playoffs last year. I believe it has the Wizards in a prime letdown spot and this is a team that has had a hard time as it is getting up to play bad teams. Washington is a mere 5-17-1 ATS in their last 23 road games vs a team with a losing home record. Atlanta is just 4-9 SU in their last 13, but have been an excellent team to back, as they are 10-3 ATS during this stretch. They are going to be the fresher team here, as they have had 3 days off and the Hawks are a solid 4-1 ATS in their last 5 when playing on 3 or more days of rest. They are also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs a team with a winning record. Give me Atlanta +6!

The Washington Wizards just got their revenge on Christmas Day against the Boston Celtics have losing to them in a seven-game series in last year’s playoffs. Now they are primed for a letdown here on the road against the Atlanta Hawks tonight. The Hawks will be ready for them as they’ve had three days off having last played on Saturday. And this Hawks team continues to get no love from the books despite being covering machines over the last several weeks. The Hawks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Wizards are 5-17-1 ATS in their last 23 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Give me the Hawks.

NBA | Grizzlies vs Lakers
Play on: Lakers -2½ -110 at betonline

Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: Los Angeles Lakers -2.5
It’s pretty sad to see how far the Memphis Grizzlies have fallen this season at 10-24. They got off to a decent start, but then their best and most important player Mike Conley got hurt. They haven’t been the same since.
The Grizzlies are just 3-20 SU & 4-17-2 ATS in their last 23 games overall. They are coming off a 97-99 loss in Phoenix last night at the buzzer to add insult to injury. So now they’ll be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back, which is always tougher for them because they are short-handed right now.
The Lakers have gone through a brutal stretch of Cleveland, Golden State, Houston, Golden State, Portland and Minnesota in their last six games overall. It’s no wonder they have gone 1-5. But now they get a break in the schedule against the struggling Grizzlies and should be able to take advantage.
Home-court advantage has been huge in this series as the home team is 8-1 straight up in the last nine meetings. The Lakers are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last four home meetings with the Grizzlies, winning outright as underdogs all four times. Now they are just small 2.5-point favorites here and should be able to get the win and cover. Bet the Lakers Wednesday.

Play on: Pelicans -10 -108 at 5Dimes

Dave’s Wednesday Free Play:
1* on New Orleans Pelicans -10
The Key: The Pelicans went into the break with back-to-back blowout road victories over Orlando by 14 and Miami by 15. I expect them to return from their break with another blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets tonight. The Nets will be playing the second of a back-to-back after losing 97-109 in San Antonio last night. The Pelicans have had 3 days off since that win over Miami and should be locked in with energy to burn. The Nets are 18-32 ATS when playing 8 or more games in 14 days over the last 3 seasons. The Pelicans are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a losing record. Take New Orleans.
