Free Pick From ***** Sports. #10 Take Florida -125 over Carolina (Thursday 7:35 pm NHL Center Ice)
The Panthers played surprising well in their last road game of a long trip and we expect that success to carryover into Thursday when they are back in Sunrise playing a familiar foe. The Panthers still have visions of a playoff birth and this is an important game for them since the trail the Hurricanes in the standing by five points. Their offense has finally come to life and has averaged scoring five goals in their last three games and we expect another high scoring affair on Thursday with the home team coming out on top.

Play up to -6.5
NCAAF: Florida Gators at Oklahoma Sooners - Florida -3 -110
Game Date: 1/8/2009
Note: I was going to prepare a large writeup on this final College Football game of the year but there really is no reason to. We have learned that the Big 12 is not as good as expected. Texas struggled to beat Ohio State with a non-cover. Texas Tech was thrashed by Ole Miss. Mizzu and Oklahoma State both looked like mediocre teams as well. The fact is, the QB's of the Big 12 looked like average SEC Signal Callers. They are good, but their numbers are way overstated. One has to wonder what kind of numbers Stafford, Tebow, Wilson, and Snead would have had in that conference. The Gators are the Cream of the Crop in the SEC and that cream is a lot creamier than the Cream of the Crop in the Big 12. This team has 6 or 7 players that run a 4.3 forty. Most squads are lucky to have one that can do that. Harvin is 90% or better for this contest and that is a feather in our hat. But probably not needed. They certainly did not need him in the SEC Championship game. Sooner QB Bradford is going to get pressure all game, and he is going to throw up some wounded ducks. Both teams have been good not dealing out turnovers but Florida has accomplished their feat while playing in the defensive minded SEC. I do expect Oklahoma to make some big plays Thursday. They will score some points. They will not be able to sustain long drives. The Gators will have much success. Too much speed and too much talent. I did not go back and look at how many points the Big 12 Top Teams averaged in the regular season, and how much they have averaged in the Bowl Matchups. I do know that they have played what I consider average D's and they have not faired to well. Certainly Texas did play a good one and we saw them win a game, but manage well below their totals for the year. While I have been accused many times of being an SEC Homer Guy, I can assure you that this is not a Homer Play. You should have gotten this one SOONER than later, but it is not too late...
How many times have we seen it before? Oklahoma lays waste to its regular season opposition like Grant setting fire to Atlanta on his march to the sea, then the Sooners reach the postseason and lay a big, fat egg. Hey, it was already bad enough for OU that this game will be played in the fan-friendly confines of the Gators’ home state but then Sooner QB Sam Bradford had to go and steal the Heisman Trophy from Florida ’s Tim Tebow. “We’re going to be ready,” promised Tebow, who was denied a chance to join Ohio State ’s Archie Griffin as a two-time Heisman winner. “We’ll use it as motivation just like (the loss to) Ole Miss. Why get over it? To tell you the truth, it’s more motivating for my teammates… they’ll be excited.” Regardless of such intangibles, you’d be hard-pressed to find a college team in America playing better football right now than either the Gators or the Sooners (UF’s 10-1-1 ATS and OU’s 10-2 ATS marks were the best in the land this year). Led by the prolific Bradford , Oklahoma scored 60 or more points in its last 5 games, an NCAA record, and became the first team ever to score over 700 points. Meanwhile, Urban Meyer is looking to claim his second BCS championship in three years for Gator Nation, carrying a record blemished only by a 1-point loss to Mississippi . However, even if this one wasn’t for all the marbles, Florida ’s ATS edges over OU in this matchup are vastly superior. Ready? Meyer stands 30-3 SU and 24-4-1 ATS in his career versus non-conference competition and SEC teams are also 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 BCS Bowl appearances. By comparison, Oklahoma ’s Bob Stoops owns a lowly 7-27 ATS record when his team allows 27 or more points ( Florida averaged 45 PPG against fellow Bowlers in ’08) and BCS Bowl teams like the Sooners that allow at least 22.4 PPG are 0-8 SU and 1-7 ATS of late. Oklahoma is also 2-4 SU and ATS in BCS Bowl games under Stoops (0-4 SU and ATS L4) and BCS Bowlers that scored 35 or more in their previous game ( Oklahoma ) are just 11-25 SU and ATS. Last but not least, Heisman Trophy winning teams have failed to cash in on the hoopla, going just 7-19 ATS as Bowlers since 1980, including 0-5 SU and ATS as dogs or favorites of less than 2 points versus a .700 or greater opponent. Though Florida’s high-octane offense dominates the headlines, the Gator ‘D’ picked off a whopping 24 interceptions and held 3 of their final 4 foes to season low – or 2nd low – yards. And lest we forget, UF WR extraordinaire Percy Harvin, who missed the SEC Championship game against Alabama , has declared himself 100% ready for this showdown with the Sooners. In a battle between two head coaches with Ohio roots, Florida ’s 80 YPG defensive edge and a huge disparity in fan support will be too much for the Sooners to overcome. Lay the points with the Gators.
