College Football Bet of the Day – December 24th, 2010

December 24, 2010 by

Merry Christmas Eve! Tonight we have Tulsa taking on Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl. Hawaii is favored by 10 and since they are on their home field it’s hard not to take them to cover the points. Instead we are going to the over in what should be a high scoring affair. Good luck!

Tulsa/Hawaii over 73.5

Overall Record:

College Football 26-14-3 (2010) 167-128-4 (overall)
NFL 20-23-2 (2010) 158-113-7 (overall)
College Basketball 30-28-3 (2010) 263-202-9 (overall)
NHL 0-2 (2010) 1-4 (overall)
NBA 25-19 (2010) 69-55 (overall)
MLB 69-48 (2010) 159-117-5 (overall)

Costly Field Goal

December 21, 2010 by

Remember when Kyle Brotzman missed two different field goals last month against Nevada that cost Boise a berth in a BCS bowl game? The field goal miss at the end of regulation also cost head coach Chris Petersen $125,000 in a bonus that he would have received for getting a BCS bid. Brotzman’s choke job is hands down the most disappointing single moment in college football this year.

Weekend Pigskin Pix by D2B

December 3, 2010 by

The last time I posted picks I went 4-for-4. I don’t expect to go 100% this weekend, but I got a good feeling about these games. Here are my college football and NFL picks for the weekend:

Friday Night:

Illinois goes into Fresno State for either embarrassment or to solidify their bowl hopes.  Both teams are going to a bowl, but this game will have a say in how much money they get in their bowl game. Both offenses are potent and will put up points in what should be a shootout.

Take the Over 58 1/2

==============================

The MAC Championship is actually a pretty fun game to watch. No weather issues because the game is in Ford Field Dome. Northern Illinois comes in winners of 9 in-a-row including last weeks 70-3 romp over Eastern Michigan a. NI has averaged 46 points during their winning streak and I don’t think Miami Ohio can stop them considering they give up over 330 yards per game.

Give the 17 1/2 and take Northern Illinois

=====================================

Saturday Games:

Rutgers is horrible and West Virginia is hoping to get into the Orange Bowl as the Big ‘Least’ representative.

Give the 21 pts and take West Virginia

===========================

Boise is pissed and they will take their anger out on Utah State on the Blue Turf.

Give the 39 1/2 pts and take Boise State

============================

Nevada got the big win against Boise last week and now must try and come down from that high against a Louisiana Tech team that can score as well.

Take the 9 1/2 pts and La Tech at home

============================

Sunday NFL action:

KC at home versus a Denver team that got worked at home by Sam Bradford. Easy call.

Give the 9 pts and take KC

========================

Troy Smith versus Aaron Rogers. Umm, no contest in frigid Lambeau.

Give the 10 pts and take Green Bay

========================

Indy can’t stop anyone and they can’t run the ball. Dallas comes in with a new swagger and will get after Peyton so he will have another interception laden game.

Take the 5 1/2 pts and Dallas

Gene Chizik Could Be in a World of Hurt

November 16, 2010 by

If all of the allegations against superstar quarterback Cam Newton are found to be true the real stooge could be Gene Chizik. Auburn can cease Chizik’s $60k monthly payments if there is an NCAA investigation under the terms of his contract with the University. Secondly, Chizik could lose $1.45 million in allocated bonuses because they are “subject to their being no major violations” for the football program. Finally, if he is fired from Auburn with cause due to violations he could be ordered to pay back $750k that Auburn loaned him to pay off his buy-out clause with Iowa State. Auburn can ultimately come back from violations and Newton will be just fine (see Reggie Bush), but could Chizik handle such a setback?
