20 DIMER - GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS
I think a big motivating factor tonight in Miami is the fact the Yellow Jackets went into last year's Chik-Fil-A Bowl, and were handily routed by LSU, 38-3.
Tech has waited a whole year to get back to the big stage, and I do not think they will disappoint this evening. Sure the Yellow Jackets defense is likely to keep the Hawkeyes in this game, but Iowa has had some shaky, shaky moments this season, as they trailed both Northern Iowa, and Indiana into the 4th quarter on their home field, and they also barely got by Arkansas State this year.
That is not the kind of resume that is going to work against Georgia Tech, and their triple-option attack.
G-Tech is 16-7 against the spread under Paul Johnson, and they have played a pair of games since Iowa last played on November 21st.
In the end, Iowa will be a little too slow for this Tech team.
Lay the wood with Georgia Tech, as they redeem themselves from last year's bowl fiasco.
10 DIMER - NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH
12-3 Irish take on the 10-3 Bulls, and while South Florida is at home for this one, I am going with the visitors, as Notre Dame has held the upper-hand in this new Big East rivaly, with the Irish winning the last pair, and 4 of the 5 overall meetings.
Notre Dame just lost at UConn by a dozen points, so you know they will be raring to get that taste out of their mouths when they step on the hardwood this evening.
South Florida has played their last 3 games away from home, and they have not played a game since December 30th. I expect the Bulls to come out a little slow in this return to their home floor, and when they get behind Notre Dame, they will not be able to claw their way back in for the comeback win.
Irish take advantage early, and hold on on the road this Tuesday night.
Take ND.
