30 Dime Stone Cold Lock is an Absolute Blowout winner on Ohio State to step it against South Carolina.
I also have a 10 Dime Opening Bowl Lock on Fresno State right around a 1-point dog versus Northern Illinois in the Humanitarian Bowl.
Nice early returns for the Gamecocks who are off to a 7-1 start. Their lone loss came against Michigan State of the Big 10, and the Cocks did manage to cover in that game, losing by 11 as the 17 point underdog.
Here we have a similar line against another Big 10 foe, but I will tell you flat out that Ohio State presents a different set of challenges for the very young visitors from Columbia.
Ohio State has the emerging freshman Jared Sullinger to keep the Gamecocks front line busy, and at 9-0 the Buckeyes sure look like the "real deal" to me.
Today I think they make a statement against South Carolina who will be playing their first road game of the month.
Lay it with the Buckeyes.
Northern Illinois loses the MAC Championship Game outright as an 18 point favorite, their coach Jerry Kill leaves with both of his coordinators for the University of Minnesota, and the Huskies are still a slight favorite in this bowl game?
OK, I will bite. Give me Fresno State in this one, as the Bulldogs may have 4 losses, but they have played the stronger competition, and 3 of the schools they lost to are playing in bowl games this holiday season.
Fresno State was blanked 51-0 on this field about a month ago, but that was against Boise State. They are not playing Boise State in this one, and they are quite familiar with the blue turf in Idaho, as Coach Pat Hill has already won his 2 previous tries in this bowl game the last 2 times the Bulldogs have traveled to Boise, Idaho.
Northern Illinois has been run over the last 2 years in their bowl games, and are 0-3 the last 4 years when appearing in a bowl, getting outscored 81-20.
10 dime bonus baby on Fresno State.

25 Dime winner is on the UTEP Miners as an underdog agailst Brigham Young at 2 p.m. Eastern. As as I release this selectaion at Midnight pacific, the line I am currently seeing both here in Las Vegas and at the offshorre books is a solid +11.5. I also like Fresno State at +1.5 for 15 Dimes, in its 5:30 p.m. kickoff against Northern Illinois.

Saturday's Plays...
40 Dime Play on the TROY TROJANS minus the points over Ohio. Troy is laying -2 or -2 1/2 points depending on your book. I want you to buy the 1/2 point down on this line if it goes up to -3 or -3 1/2.
15 Dime Play on FLORIDA STATE minus the points over Loyola Marymount. Florida State is laying -6 1/2 points in most books offshore and in Vegas.
10 Dime Play on OHIO STATE minus the points over South Carolina. Ohio State is laying -17 or -17 1/2 points depending on your book.

Saturday Trifecta of action.
20 Dime plays in college football on Fresno State as the small dog. At this writing, they are around a 1-point pup, but I will back them regardless of any line move.
20 Dime on Kansas State in a near pick against Florida
20 Dime on the Bulls minus the points against the road-werry Clippers.
Let's start it with the earliest release, and that is the K-State Wildcats who take on Florida, but not in the O-Dome which will make a huge diflerence as far as having to deal with the home crowd rowdies that the O'Connell Center attracts.
The Gators are also a horrific 1-6 against the spread in lined games this year, and just have not seemed to have any real cohesion and I don't think they are ready for this "step up" in class game against Frank Martin's Widcats.
I like the early season "tests" the Wildcats have played already (Duke, Virginia Tech, Washington State, Gonzaga), and feel they are the more tested of the 2 sides on the court this afternoon.
In college football, it will be Fresno State all the way against Northern Illinois.
My main reason for this side selection is the fact Huskies coach Jerry Kill has left for the same post at Minnesota, but not only did he leave, but he also raided the cupboard, taking his offensive and defensive coordinators with him.
That puts the Huskies in a tough spot, and it also doesn't help that Northern Illinois was an 18 1/2-point favorite in the MAC Championship game, and they lost outright to Miami.
Fresno State has some big bodies on their OL, and I can see the Bulldogs wearing down the Huskies defense in this one.
I can also see the Fresno defense keeping the Northern Illinois offense out of the end zone since the Bulldogs have already had to deal with Hawaii, Nevada, and Boise State's high-powered attacks.
Fresno has played numerous times on the blue turf, and in fact they have won their 2 previous Humanitarian Bowl games while Northern Illinois is 0-3 straight up the last 4 years in their bowl games.
Take Fresno.
NBA, I don't care if Noah is now out until February, the Bulls will find a way to get it done once again.
Chicago was off Friday night, while the Clippers road trek continued in Detroit last night.
The Bulls have won 7 straight, and have covered 4 straight. They are also 10-2 straight up at home, and 7-4-1 against the spread at home.
The Clippers are now playing their 3rd road game in 4 nights and we all know how bad they have been on the road this year.
Da Bulls get Da Win and cover.
