Las Vegas - If you're interested in the TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl, Cincinnati -7.5 (buy the hook down to -7) is probably the side. Luke Fickell motored 106.6 miles South on the I-71 from Columbus to Cincinnati. He spent 15 years at the Horseshoe guiding the Bucks defense for the last 11. He took over the Bearcats in 2017 and they stunk it up at 4-8. However, last season, he caught fire, and Cincy won 11 games. With a W this afternoon in Birmingham, Luke will have YO 11 in the bank again.

Also thinking about a little taste of St. John's +4.5 over Butler on the college hoop board.

And while we're not always into comparative scores, you gotta check this out. State played Kentucky earlier in the season and posted a 28-13 win. The 'Ville played Kentucky in the season finale and was SMOKED, 45-13. But there's more.
Read MoreLas Vegas - Gonna roll to Cincinnati and grab the Bengals +3 points over the Browns. Heard that Cleveland is gonna fly directly to Palm Springs after the game, and the golf clubs are in the locker. Actually, some of the Brownies might just leave at halftime, to beat the non-exsistant Cincinnati traffic. All you have to know about Cincy is, they are still fighting like crazy and Andy Dalton is playing for a few MILLION dollars and his next contract.
