double-dime bet 240 Vanderbilt -7.0 (-115) Bookmaker.com vs 239 N.C. State Analysis: Sure, Vanderbilt has home field advantage with this matchup being played in Nashville just a few miles from its campus.

But there are other strong reasons to like the Commodores, too.

Vanderbilt has three excellent skill position players in senior quarterback Jordan Rodgers, wide receiver Jordan Matthews, who had 87 receptions for 1,262 yards, and running back and 1,000-yard runner Zac Stacy. Rodgers will be operating against a North Carolina State secondary that ranked 94th versus the pass.

The Commodores play in a much stronger conference, the SEC, and have a strong defensive edge. Vanderbilt held eight opponents to 325 yards or less. The Commodores have won six in a row with an average victory margin of 24 points during their streak.

North CaÉrolina State has been a disappointment going 7-5, including just 4-4 in the ACC. The Wolfpack nipped Florida State, 17-16. That was the only foe they beat who finished with a winning record.

The Wolfpack have faced a huge distraction since the regular season ended with the controversial firing of Tom O'Brien after six seasons of being the team's head coach. Dave Doeren of Northern Illinois was hired to replace O'Brien, but the team is being handled on an interim basis for this game by Dana Bible. That kind of arrangement usually isn't a plus.

The Wolfpack's big plus is senior quarterback Mike Glennon. He led the ACC with 3,648 yards passing and was No. 2 in the league in touchdown throws with 30. Glennon could be the first quarterback taken in the NFL draft, but he's not viewed as a franchise type of quarterback. Vanderbilt has a strong secondary ranking in the top 10 in pass defense yielding 175.8 passing yards and only six touchdowns through the air.

triple-dime bet 254 Georgia -10.0 (-110) Justbet vs 253 Nebraska Analysis:
Georgia -10


The Huskers are my team, I graduated from UNL and love me soœme Husker Nation, but a realist approach is that Nebraska in a very tough spot here. Georgia argueably one of the Top 2 teams in the nation and were 5 yards away from playing for a national title. The defense of Georgia will stunt the Husker run game and Martinez for Nebraska under pressure throwing it is going to cause turnovers. He has struggled against good defenses all year, Ohio State comes to mind as a simular team to the Bulldogs and Ohio State pounded Nebraska into submission. Nebraska also lacks the speed at WR to strecth the field out against a team like Georgia, and NU has issues stopping strong run games. No pass rush against QB Murray is going to be a huge Issue. Huskers way over macthed against a team who is a national title contender and loaded with talent and speed. Pelini is not a big game coach. Huskers were waxed by a 5 loss team in the Big 10 Championship on a nuetral site and Georgia vastly better than Wisconsin.


Play 3 Units on Georgia...56-20 a likely score. Long day for this Husker fan, I might as well profit from thje misery of being a Hukser fan

CFB

Music City Bowl (Nashville)
NC State fired Tom O’Brien after 7-5 year with senior QB that was expected to be better; have to believe Wilson’s success with Seahawks (he was basically cut by O’Brien before his senior year with Wolfpack) had something to do with it. Interim coach is OC Bible; interesting to see if he turns senior QB loose more than conservative O’Brien did. Vandy gets home game after winning last six games; they’re 2-2-1 in bowls in school history; this is first time they’ve gone to bowls in consecutive years. Commodores won this game 16-14 (+3.5) over Boston College four years ago, ending BC’s long bowl winning streak- their QB now is Jordan Rodgers, Aaron’s little brother. Vandy scored 17 or less points in all four of its losses; they scored 40+ points in four of last five games, and are 4-2 vs spread when favored this year. State is 2-4 away from home, allowing 35-44-43-62 points in the losses, 7-18 in wins. ACC teams are 3-4 in this game last seven years, 3-0 vs spread as an underdog; overall, dogs covered six of last eight Music City Bowls.

Sun Bowl (El Paso)
Look at USC’s schedule this year and tell me who their best win is; 38-17 over Arizona State Nov 10? That was also their only win in last five games, as they closed regular season with losses to UCLA/Notre Dame- they allowed 38+ points in three of last five games, so HC Kiffin fired DC Kiffin, his dad (And highly respected NFL DC). Trojan players making noise about not liking El Paso area; team showed up hour late for banquet planned by bowl, so no faith that favored USC (3-7 as favorite this year) will show up and play solid game; then again, Georgia Tech is rare bowl team with losing record coming in- they fired their DC during year, have trouble coming from behind because their passing game isn’t good. Jackets scored 33+ points in all six wins; they’re 3-2 vs spread as underdog, but are 0-6 SU when scoring less than 33 points, with three losses by 6 or less points, four more by 16+ points. Pac-12 teams won six of last Sun Bowl appearances (weren’t here in ’10); Tech lost this game 30-27 (-2) to Utah LY, its fourth straight bowl loss (0-4 vs spread) under option-loving Johnson.

Liberty Bowl (Memphis)
Bowl rematches are rare, but because Iowa State travels well (sold their 10,000 tickets for this quickly) we have one here; Cyclones outgained Tulsa 441-358, beat Golden Hurricane 38-23 in season opener. Tulsa wound up as C-USA champs, beating UCF twice in three weeks, while 6-6 State is only here because bowls need to make money so they can stay in business. Golden Hurricane won six of seven games decided by seven or less points. With revenge on their side, hard to buck Tulsa; they won three of last four bowls, scoring 63-45-62 points in wins, 21 in loss LY to BYU. Iowa State split last four bowls, with three of them decided by 4 or less points- they scored 14-13 in bowls under Rhoads. C-USA clubs lost four of last six appearances in this bowl, but Tulsa won last 31-24 (+7) over Fresno State in ’05. No Big X team has played here in last nine years. Iowa State is 5-0 when it scores 35+ points, 1-6 when it does not; Tulsa held six of last seven opponents under 28 points.

Chick-fil-A Bowl (Atlanta)
Vandy/LSU are first SEC teams to play in bowls this year; problem for LSU backers is whether Bayou Bengals are excited to be here after being in national title game LY. LSU was 5-0 before losing at Florida; seemed liked they lost confidence after that, with only one of its last five wins by more than seven points. LSU covered only two of last seven games as a favorite. Clemson gave up 70 points to West Virginia in its bowl LY, fourth loss in last five bowls for Tigers, despite being favored in all five games; they lost 23-20 to Auburn in this game five years ago (-2). LSU is 3-2 in last five bowls, beating Georgia Tech 38-3 in this game four years ago. Underdogs covered five of last seven in this bowl, with SEC teams 5-2 vs ACC squads. Clemson won three games this year where they gave up 31+ points- that won't workhere vs defensively-stout LSU. Clemson is 5-2 vs spread as an dog under Swinney, who is Alabama grad. LSU won/covered five of seven bowls under Miles (four of five that weren't for national title).

Bob Balfe
LSU -6 over Clemson

I love the skill players on Clemson, but this game is going to come down to the big boys one the line. LSU has much more talent on both sides of the ball and will just wear down the line with their physical play. I don’t think Clemson will be able to stop the run and on defense this years LSU team has been nothing but lights out. This spread seems high but by the 4th quarter if this game is close the Tigers will run away with it just due to pure size, speed and strength. Its great to have skilled players, but if you don’t have time to get them the ball it really does you no good. Take LSU.
