BYU VS. ARIZONA -3
O/U 61.5

Recommendation: Arizona

Sure, the Cougars racked up some lop-sided wins against very poor teams like UCLA and Wyoming, but when forced to play teams ranked in the top 25 they lost both games against TCU and Utah. The Wildcats played the tougher schedule between these teams and were in every game with the biggest loss being by 10 to Oregon. These teams met last season with Arizona breaking out its new spread offense. The Wildcats struggled to score but much has changed since then. Arizona has gone from averaging 16 ppg two years ago to 37 ppg this season. In the past six seasons, the BYU football team has played 12 games against the Pac-10 with a record of 5-7. I believe the difference in this game is going to be with the defenses. The Wildcats have the No. 20 overall defense while the Cougars rank 58th. Considering that four of BYU’s 12 games were against teams ranked 99th or worse, their defensive numbers are somewhat skewed. Often, bowl games come down to what team has more interest. Arizona is going to the postseason for the first time since 1998 while BYU is going to its fourth consecutive Vegas jaunt. The Wildcats, after beating rival Arizona State, graciously accepted their bid. BYU, after getting spanked by rival Utah, was in no such mood to celebrate another trip to Sin City

I am going to be very brief as I write this very late Friday evening and actually very early Saturday morning. Memphis, who has been able to score some points this year, is not going to have the same success against these guys. The Bulls have one of the best D's in the land and have proved that a lot. They gave up just 13 at West Va in their last game, just 13 to UConn prior to that. Rutgers had their way with them on the scoreboard, but that was mostly because of turnovers. They have extreme quickness and they are going to make it very difficult for the Tigers to move the ball effectively. The Tigers last 4 games have been with Tulane, Central Florida, SMU and Southern Miss. That is not the who's who of college football. They have had other success verses lessor schools but they have not faced a school of this caliber yet. The Bulls have scored 20 or fewer points in their last 5 games. They control the clock and they have a ball control offense. This number has risen from an opening of 51. I think not for good reason and I do know that there is a trend of early College Bowls going Over. This one does not.

NFL Football
Cowboys -4.5 over Ravens
Last weeks loss to the Steelers really deflated the Ravens team. This Baltimore defense is always good, but their starters on defense are going down like flys and this unit is not as strong as it could be. On offense Joe Flacco has done a great job this year, but this is where we will see him look like a rookie. Nothing against Flacco, but you have to take your bumps along the way. Dallas beat New York last week which really boosted their confidence. Look for both sides of the ball to play well today. Take the Cowboys at home.

College Football
Navy +3 over Wake Forest
Navy has played great this year. We all know how great they are at running the football, but this team actually has a defense this year. Earlier this season Navy crushed Wake Forest before starting QB Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada was hurt. Wake made a comeback in that game, but still lost. Riley Skinner threw 4 INT's and they only generated 43 yards on the ground. This game is being played in Washington D.C our nations capital. First year head coach Ken Niumatalolo will want to make a statement to the start of his bowl career. Take Navy.

Fresno -3 over Colorado State
Fresno has underachieved all year and are just 2-10 against the spread. I love these kind of numbers in big games because they usually start to go the other way. Fresno has a great head coach in Pat Hill and on a sad note this will be Defensive Coordinator Dan Brown's last game as he is battling cancer. The Fresno Defense will play their hearts out for him. Colorado State had a good year considering the past, but they had some late season injuries on the offensive line and their defense is horrible. I just do not think this team is ready to win a bowl game yet after just a 6-6 season. Take Fresno.

Memphis/South Florida Over 55
USF had bigger plans this season, but they went on a horrible losing streak and their offense generated nothing. Lucky for South Florida that they will be playing a Memphis team that has no luck against BCS schools and their defense stinks. South Florida should get their offense going today. Memphis has a decent offense with a great running back and two monster receivers. This game means a lot for Memphis and where they will be positioned next season. With a lot of starters back in 2009 a win here could really get them going for a top 25 bid. Look for both teams to come out swinging on offense with the game going OVER the total.

Arizona -3.5 over BYU
Both teams are about evenly matched this year. The real angle into this game has to be the fact that Arizona has not played in a bowl for 10 years and are pumped while BYU has played in this very bowl game four years in a row. Boring. The public is betting heavy on BYU which is the underdog and the line just went from 3 to 3.5 This tells me that the line movement has nothing to do with the money and the linemakers want the bets to keep raining in on BYU. Both teams have good offenses, but edge on defense goes to Arizona. Take the Wildcats.
