3* Unit Play. #255. Take Ole Miss Rebels +4.5 over Texas Tech Red Raiders. (Friday, January 2nd, 2pm est). I was very tempted to take the ML on this game, but I will take the 4.5 points as that is significant. Ole Miss likely defeated the National Champs in the Swamp. You think they care that they play the Texas Tech Red Raiders today in Dallas, Texas? I am telling you right now, the Swamp is the toughest place to play in the country even more than Dallas, Texas and Ole Miss went down there and beat the Florida Gators as double-digit dogs. That win over the Gators will likely be the only loss the future National Champions had as they look back on this year. I state that to say that Ole Miss can beat anybody on any given day. Yes, they sure can. Houston Nutt is one of my favorite coaches as even when he was with Arkansas the man knows how to get his teams up for the big game. He is a pure coach unlike the current bum that Arkansas has right now who is nothing more than a punk that steals money from NFL franchisse including the Falcons and other schools. He is a jerk on top of that. Nutt is a family man and he busts his ass. Nick Saban has even been noted as saying he is one of the best coaches in the nation as his game plans are rock solid and has a fire that is unbelievable. If you are a team in Texas Tech and you are not playing for the National Title, you think this team really cares about the Cotton Bowl? Nope. Texas Tech could not be less interested in this game and I think Ole Miss is going to come in and catch them off guard and score early and often and take a quick led in which TT will have to scrape and claw back but it will likely be not enough. Yes, your Cotton Bowl Winner will likely be Ole Miss outright as they come out far more focused than Texas Tech will for this game.
3 Unit Play. Take Under 46 between Utah @ Alabama. (January 2nd @ 8:15pm est). I'm not sure as to who will win cover this game because I simply don't trust the Alabama offense - and remember - this is coming from a Tide Fan. But, what I do know is that this game features two very good defenses and two offenses that frankly are not all that wonderful. Do you remember the last game that Utah played a defensive team? It was against TCU. The final score ended up being 13-10. Now, I'm not saying Alabama's offense is not better than TCU's. But, TCU in many ways is similar to Alabama's offense. A team that is based on running the ball and strong pass defense. That is exactly what the Crimson Tide are known for this year with a top 10 defense. Utah is a top 15 defense and Alabama is a top 5 defense in the nation. Utah might be top 20 in the nation in offense, but they face an Alabama defense that is stout and this is not some cupcake team out of their conference - this is the SEC and the cream of the crop. But, Alabama's offense ranks outside the top 50 and they are not a team known to "light up" the scoreboard. Look for a game that stays underneath the posted total as the strength for both of these teams will be their respective defenses as the Tide should roll, but more importantly, the under should come into play
