If you say you’re looking forward to betting on the BCS Championship game the most out of the five BCS bowls, you’re lying. Deep down, you know the Fiesta Bowl is the game to watch. It pits the country’s top offense against the country’s top defense. It doesn’t get much better than that. Didn’t I mention that both teams are undefeated? Let’s make a pick.
<o:p> </o:p>
2010 Fiesta Bowl<o:p></o:p>
(6) <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place><st1:placeName>Boise</st1:placeName> <st1:placeType>State</st1:placeType></st1:place> vs (3) TCU
Monday, January 4, <st1:time Hour="20" Minute="0">8:00 p.m. ET</st1:time>
College football odds favorite: TCU -7.5
<o:p> </o:p>
The TCU Horned Frogs are the favorite in this matchup for good reasons. They didn’t just stumble into the country’s No. 1 defense; they earned it by overcoming some tough matchups throughout the season. Among their standouts are defensive end Jerry Hughes, who rushes the passer as well as anyone in the nation, and linebackers Tank Carder and Daryl Washington.
<o:p> </o:p>
Because TCU’s “D” is so outstanding, the offense only has to be adequate. Junior quarterback Andrew Dalton went above and beyond what was asked of him this season, throwing 22 touchdown passes versus five picks and earning MWC Player of the Year honors. He makes few mistakes and moves his feet well; he joined three other TCU teammates as a 500-yard rusher this season.
<o:p> </o:p>
Offensively, there’s no comparing TCU to <st1:place><st1:placeName>Boise</st1:placeName> <st1:placeType>State</st1:placeType></st1:place>, however. The Broncos are thrilling to watch, having scored 40 or more points in seven straight games. Kellen Moore had a video-game like 39-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio and three different <st1:place><st1:placeName>Boise</st1:placeName> <st1:placeType>State</st1:placeType></st1:place> players scored at least 14 times this season.
<o:p> </o:p>
In the end, I make my sports betting pick based on who wants or needs the win more. <st1:place><st1:placeName>Boise</st1:placeName> <st1:placeType>State</st1:placeType></st1:place>’s season is already a resounding success and it has more national title dreams ahead. This was supposed to be TCU’s year, however. The Horned Frogs arguably earned the spot currently occupied by <st1:State><st1:place>Texas</st1:place></st1:State> in the national title game and they’re angry about it. Their defense should arrive at the Fiesta Bowl fired up and their offense will do enough to give them a lead. <st1:place><st1:placeName>Boise</st1:placeName> <st1:placeType>State</st1:placeType></st1:place> will still put points on the board but a 40-spot is out of the question. I like TCU to cover in a major statement game.

Free pick: TCU -7.5<o:p></o:p>

Super handicapper Matt Rivers has a free Monday winner. It’s William & Mary minus the points against NC Wilmington.

I have been all over the Tribe this season because this program is much improved and is actually pretty darn solid right now. The days of being terrible appear to be long gone, just ask <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><ST1:STATE><ST1:pLACE><st1:State><st1:place>Maryland</st1:place></st1:State></ST1:pLACE></ST1:STATE>, VCU, <ST1:CITY><ST1:pLACE><st1:City><st1:place>Richmond</st1:place></st1:City></ST1:pLACE></ST1:CITY> and <ST1:pLACE><ST1:pLACENAME><st1:place><st1:placeName>Wake</st1:placeName></st1:place> <st1:placeType><ST1:pLACETYPE>Forest</ST1:pLACETYPE></ST1:pLACE>
</st1:placeType> as all of those teams lost outright to Bill and Mary.

I though can’t lay points like this in a real pay type play because they are still “William & Mary but at 10-2 I will continue to ride Tony Shaver’s much improved squad. Both Schneider and McDowell are leading the way and at home here these guys should fully outclass a pretty awful <ST1:CITY><ST1:pLACE><st1:City><st1:place>Wilmington</st1:place></st1:City></ST1:pLACE></ST1:CITY>
team.

The Seahawks used to be the class of this conference years back but that is no longer the case as today’s visitors are coming off of that 91-57 beatdown from the same VCU team that lost to William & Mary. Overall <ST1:CITY><ST1:pLACE><st1:City><st1:place>Wilmington</st1:place></st1:City></ST1:pLACE></ST1:CITY>
is a porous 4-8 and has no stability whatsoever as coach Benny Moss cannot find any right combinations. This team has zero momentum or confidence and are going on the road to face a team that is absoluteing flying high right now.

I’m not saying that Moss’ team is a total dreadful bottom feeder mess. They have been alright at times this season and are a much better team than they showed last week but all in all they are facing a clear better team and a red hot team tonight and keeping this thing tight for 40 minutes just does not appear to be too realistic.

The pick: 64-49 final in favor of Bill & Mary. Matt Rivers was the winningest
handicapper ever on a large network of handicapping sites before being promoted to The Show.</ST1:pLACENAME>

OC Dooley:

1 UNIT” COLLEGE BASKETBALL LINETRACKER SPECIAL (Davidson -9’ at home versus Samford in a 7:05 eastern tipoff): We have had a major line swing in this contest which actually opened with Davidson laying 11’ points, so we actually have some line value with a favorite early this evening. Of course Davidson has now been wiped off the national map as star Stephen Curry is now playing in the NBA, but the fact of the matter is that the Wildcats faced a challenging non-conference schedule with was ranked 56th-toughest in the land. What most impresses me regarding Davidson is their depth as the BENCH has outscored the competition by a whopping 329-202 combined count so far this season. Even without Curry, the Wildcats offense can still light things up from long range as they have averaged nearly 10 successful THREE POINT shots per contest. Davidson has nailed at least 13 “long range” shots from behind the arc FIVE different times which gives them quick strike capability. Tonight is a Southern Conference tilt as my research indicates that the various teams in this league have been excellent when playing in front of the HOME fans. Samford is 5-1 at home so far but this is a road affair this evening for the Bulldogs who traditionally have had severe problems covering the spread with their current head coach. Samford long term is a very poor 4-12 ATS/ROAD after four consecutive low scoring affairs where both sides scored 70-or-less points. So far in a pair of Southern Conference tilts Samford has averaged just over 47 points per pop which immediately puts them at a disadvantage against tonight’s opponent who is led by 21-year veteran coach Bob McKillop. In the past three years McKillop’s Davidson crew is an impressive 15-4 ATS off a “no cover” where the team won outright as a favorite
