Thanks Indy...Happy New Year to you and yours.
CAPITAL ONE ORANGE BOWL-Clemson Tigers +4.5 (-110), 2 units: These teams are very evenly matched. Two reasons lead me to take the Tigers. First, I believe they have a better defense. The Sooners numbers are inflated by the fact that they faced backup QBs in their last 3 games. Second, I like the Clemson coaching staff much better than I like the Oklahoma coaching staff and trust them to make adjustments more than I trust Oklahoma's coaches.
GOODYEAR COTTON BOWL- Michigan State Spartans +10 (-110), 2 units: I'm fairly confident that the Crimson Tide are going to win the game. However I don't think they can expose the Spartans defensive weakness, their secondary. This one feels like a grind it out slugfest to me and I'll take the team with the better QB and double digits.
