I’m on a 4-0-1 roll with complimentary selections after Arizona State got the job done against Florida State in Tuesday’s Sun Bowl. For your New Year’s Day freebie, we’ll take the points with Oregon in the Rose Bowl against Wisconsin.



I could not have been more impressed with the job Oregon did in the Pac-12 title game against Utah. I gave out the Utes in that game, believing they not only were the better team but the more motivated squad (needing a win to lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff). And I was dead wrong, as the Ducks dominated that game from start to finish, rolling 37-15 as a 6½-point underdog.



I fully expect that motivation to be there again today, as Oregon looks to notch its 12th victory and end a string of poor bowl performances. Yes, the Ducks were victorious in the postseason last year, beating Michigan State in the Redbox Bowl, but they did so by a score of 7-6 in one of the most uninspiring bowl games of the year. Prior to that, Oregon dropped three straight bowl games to Boise State (38-28 as a 7-point favorite in the 2017 Las Vegas Bowl), TCU (47-41 as a 7-point favorite in the 2016 Alamo Bowl) and Ohio State (42-20 as a 5½-point favorite in the 2015 national championship game). In other words, this senior class will be looking to finally produce a convincing bowl victory.



The Ducks not only have the superior quarterback in this game—Justin Herbert will be a first-round draft pick in the spring—but they’re the much faster team on both sides of the ball. And while most people think of Oregon as a high-scoring team that plays little defense, the numbers tell a different story: The Ducks gave up just 15.7 points per game, including holding seven opponents—Utah (15), Oregon State (10), Cal (7), Arizona (6), Stanford (6), Nevada (6), Montana (3) and Colorado (3)—to 15 points or less.


True, Wisconsin posted four shutout wins this year, but those came against South Florida, Central Michigan, Kent State and Michigan State—none of which have a quarterback as good as Herbert or skill players as fast as Oregon. What’s more, those four shutouts came in the Badgers’ first six games. After that, Wisconsin’s D was far from stout, allowing 25.7 points over its final seven contests.

4* OREGON

My comp play for this first day of 2020 is the Baylor-Georgia meeting in the Sugar Bowl to be a defensive battle that holds Under the posted price.

Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer suffered a concussion in the Big Twelve Championship Game and is officially listed as questionable for this game. If Brewer shows any ill-effects look for Gerry Bohannon and Jacob Zeno to split the signal-calling chores, but no matter who is under center for Matt Rhule's team the points will not be easy to come by.

Georgia is second in the nation in points allowed with just 12.5 points per game surrendered and they are third in the nation rushing defense with just under 80 yards per game allowed. The Bulldogs come into New Orleans on a 7-1 Under run their last 8 games played, and for the season 10 of their 13 games have held Under the posted price.

Baylor's defense is not far behind, as the Bears led the Big Twelve in scoring defense and come in at 16th in the land with just over 19 points per game allowed. The Bears are also tied for third in the nation with 13 fumble recoveries.

Baylor saw 4 of their final 6 games played this season land Under the total, so rather than look for a game where the offense rules the night, let's look for the defenses to be the dominant units on the field for most of the evening.

Baylor and Georgia hold Under the total in the Sugar Bowl.

4* BAYLOR-GEORGIA UNDER

Comp play for Wednesday on the Suns plus the points at the L.A. Lakers.

This is not the same old pushover Suns this season, as Phoenix heads to the City of the Angels having won back-to-back road games at Sacramento and Portland and they bring covers in 3 of their last 4 into this showdown with the Lakers.

L.A. has followed a season-high 4 game losing streak and a 6 game against the spread losing streak with wins and covers in their last pair of games. LeBron James has been able to "manage" his groin injury that he aggravated on Christmas Day against the Clippers, as the Lakers stand at 26-7 now on the year.

Los Angeles has gone 9-6 against the spread at the Staples Center, but Phoenix can counter with a 9-6 spread mark on the road this season. The Suns also boast a 3-1 spread mark when installed as the underdog of +10 to +12 points this year, while the Lakers are just 3-4 as the favorite in that same price range.

This will be the second series meeting between these Western Conference teams, as the Lakers did win the first 123-115 in the Valley of the Sun in the middle of November as the -3 1/2 point road chalk. The price tonight is a lot taller, and while I do not see the Lakers getting stung for the outright loss, I do think that this price is a little too high.

Phoenix has played a much better brand of basketball this season and tonight they stay inside of the double-digit impost.

Take the Suns plus the points.
