LSU vs Georgia Tech (NCAAF)
Event Date: 12/31/2008
Play: Georgia Tech -4
Comments: The yellowjackets will be traveling 2 miles from there home stadium to compete against LSU in the chik-fil-a bowl. The last time these two met was in the peach bowl in 2000 where the yellowjackets were upset by LSU 28-14. Look for the yellowjackets to get the revenge win today. Georgia Tech was 8-2 ATS on the season and an awesome 5-1 as a favorite. The yellowjackets 3rd ranked rushing offense will be just too much for the LSU defense. On the otherside LSU's offense has struggled at the quarterback position due to injury. Quarterback Jarrett Lee has had 13 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Look for Georgia Tech to come through with an easy win tonight.

My, my how things change during the course of the season. LSU was expected to be playing in a BCS Bowl when the season started, while Georgia Tech came into the season with plenty of question marks under new coach Paul Johnson.
Tonight, all the question marks surroung the Bayou Bengals if you ask me, as LSU closed the season with losses in 4 of their final 6, failing all 6 against the spread!
Georgia Tech is soaring right now, as Johnson is up for coach of the year, the Techsters are off their first win in years over arch-rival Georgia, and they get to play this game in the near by confines of the Georgia Dome! Win, win, win, and more win for the Yellow Jackets!
This is a "statement game" for Georgia Tech, and it should be noted that the Yellow Jackets have covered 5 of their 6 tries when installed as the favorite.
LSU has failed both tries when catching points this year, and as demoralized as they enter this game, I just don't see any speach Les Miles can give to rally his troups in this spot.
Finally, Paul Johnson is now 44-23-1 against the spread his last 68 lined games at Georgia Tech, and Navy combined! Make that 45-23-1 after tonight's game.
Take Georgia Tech

I know Minnesota comes into this bowl game having lost their last 4, after racing to a 7-1 start, and I know the Golden Gophers did lose to Iowa 55-0 to close the regular season, but I also know that Kansas is OVER-RATED this year, and you saw how the first Big 12 double-digit rep fared the other night when Missouri nearly lost outright to Big 10 Northwestern.
I am telling you, the spot is prime for Minnesota to salvage their season with a tremendous effort tonight against the Jayhawks.
Kansas has been an away favorite just once this season, and they should have lost that game at lowly Iowa State!
Minnesota fired their offensive line coach, and that can only mean that coach Brewster's team will have the element of surprise on their side in this spot.
This is just too many points to lay.
1000♦ - Minnesota Golden Gophers - 6:00 pm
Pittsburgh did me a solid back on November 2nd when they were my top-rated play, and defeated West Virginia. The Panthers followed that win with a blowout of UConn the following week, and they are feeling good about themselves as they enter El Paso as the small underdog against Pac 10 rep Oregon State.
Just not sure the Panthers are going to be able to match scores with the Beavers in this spot, especially if Oregon State uses their bitter disappointment of missing out on the Rose Bowl as motivation here.
Mike Riley is a perfect 3-0 straight up in bowl games at Corvallis, winning each of the last 2 season's bowl bids with the Beavs.
Pittsburgh is making their 1st bowl appearence under Dave Wannstedt, and I have seem Coach Mustache enough to know, just when you think you can bank on him, he fails to deliver.
I will lay the small chalk, and go with the Beavers in this one.
500♦ - Oregon State Beavers - 2:00 pm
In college basketball, time for Tubby's Gophers to take it on the chin.
Minnesota is off to a perfect 12-0 start, but I am not so sure they have been "seasoned" enough to deal with the Spartans today at home.
Michigan State has played a hellacious early season schedule, and they have survived in tact with a 9-2 straight up mark. Izzo's troups took both off the Golden Gophers last season, including a 78-73 win at Williams Arena.
More of the same today, as the Spartans take care of business on the road in this battle.
