Las Vegas - LOVE this number. Since 1930, teams with a 30+ point lead were 1,548-1-1. The Colts had a 33-0 bulge last week against the Vikings and wound up losing, 39-36. Make it 1,548-2-1! Indy has decided to bench Matt Ryan in favor of Nick Foles who has not thrown a pass in over a YEAR! Also, the BEST player on the Colts, Jonathan Taylor, will be watching. But the Chargers have covered only three of the last nine, so we'll pass on picking a side.

Las Vegas - Got a full slate of NFL games on today, which means just one thing. ANOTHER three team 10-point teaser, and of course, ANOTHER winner! Start out with the Bengals and take Cincy from -3 to +7 points against the Patriots. Why?

Las Vegas - Not really crazy about the Independence Bowl between Houston and UL-Lafayette, but think the Cougars are the side. They WILL have talented QB Clayton Tune for the game, and he has been a star. Tune is hitting at a 67/68% completion rate, had 3,845 air yards this season, with 37 TDs and just 10 INTs. On the other side of the field, the Ragin' Cajuns are playing their second string QB, Chandler Fields, and their best receiver, Michael Jefferson, has opted OUT.

Las Vegas - If we're talking about the Armed Forces Bowl, gotta be thinking Air Force. And not just because my Dad had the golden wings. The Falcons do what they do, the triple option, and no one really can stop it. Of course, Baylor plays a tough schedule in the Big 12, but the Bears come in kinda discombobulated, losing three in a row. The Force has put four straight Ws on the board, and have a BEAST of a running back, Brad Roberts.
