Let's go in order of kick off.....

Texas Tech -2 ---- If you talk to Birdie4me and a few others, I shouted from the roof tops way back in July to get to the window and bet Texas Tech to win the Big12 Title at +600 or better odds. A well respected group of private handicappers I know couldn't have agreed more and it made it that much more easier to load up on tickets across several betting platforms.

BYU needs this game to make the CFP as they sit just on the edge, but their fairy tale ride will come to an end at AT&T Stadium on Saturday. I've been involved with BYU games all season, I've seen nearly every game and the same for Texas Tech. There's just a bit of a talent gap that BYU won't overcome. The early start for BYU hurt them last week at home and they arrived late to cover vs C. FL but this isn't C.FL. This game should see rapid fire scoring by Texas Tech and longer drives by BYU. The problem with longer drives it provides more opportunities for mistakes. TT is favored by 12 for a reason and many will be all over BYU but I just have a hard time seeing them scoring 24 points in this game. They will need 40+ to win this game SU and that is just not happening unless TT is scoring 50+ and that may still happen anyway.

AL +12.5 ---- Underdogs do well in the SEC title game and for good reason, they are usually a really good team and that's what we have here. I see a defensive type game, lower scoring and points will be a premium across the board. AL has a better history in this game than GA and both will be in the CFP. I don't see either team winning by 10 or more. It will take some unusual happening for it to take place. Both teams have struggled down the stretch but I think AL is a bit more even keeled and can recover from mistakes a bit better than GA right now. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see AL win SU.

VA +6 ---- Ok this one is based on if Duke wins, the ACC sends no one to the CFP. I'm not a conspiracy type but let's face it, the ACC does not want this to happen. They used some crazy way of breaking a four team tie for second place that Duke came away with the nod to be here. Are they deserving? NO, should they be here? NO......... but yet here they are. Let's give a quick history lesson from just a few weeks back. Who remembers Duke favored by 3.5 over Virginia playing at home? All the wise guys were all over Duke and no way they could lose. They did.......... Now let's go to Saturday VA opened at 2.5 and is anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 on the odds screens, best I got was VA -4 at 5 different sportsbooks and I didn't see 3.5 or 4.5 so not sure how they list those when they aren't available.

That tells you that the money has come in on VA and I think this time around it is the right money, not for the fact that VA smoked Duke in Durham, not for the fact that I'm a big lifelong UNC fan, trust me my money has no favorite teams only the ones that cover spreads. I don't know about you, but I just can't see the ACC allowing, yes I used the word allowing Duke to win. Put yourself in the ACC HQ and sitting around the table talking about this game, do you think anyone outside of Duke guys wants them to win. How embarrassing it would be for the conference. I don't say this lightly obviously being a UNC fan I follow the ACC, more in basketball than football but the conference has had it shares of huge negative publicity and humiliation. There is no way in heck that Duke is winning this game. I'm taking the proverbial insurance just in case heck has it's day.... I know JMU is rooting for it.........

You might be thinking you didn't touch the Big 10 title game, how easy would IN +14 be? I have tickets on Ohio State to win the BIG 10 at juicy prices and no way would I root against Ohio State here. Do I think 14 is enough, maybe, maybe not. Some teams even this late in the season I still don't believe IN. See what I did there........
