Las Vegas - Looking at the two NFL games, not interested in the Broncos/Bills, but will push a few chips into the middle of the table on the Packers, but it'll be a halftime prop. Did a little research and found out that Green Bay has outscored its last two opponents 41-13 in the first half at home in the Frozen Tundra. The Tundra might not be frozen, they're expecting temps right around 32 degrees, but we're still BUYING Cheese -4 or -5 to win the 1st half.

On the college board, got a three team 10-point championship teaser for you to feast on. My man, Vingt-Et-Un is coming back for one more shot at glory, and we both feel the same about this play. Start in Indianapolis with the Big 10 championship and bump Northwestern up from +20 to +30 points against Ohio State. Then move to Charlotte for the ACC title tilt and take Notre Dame from +10.5 to +20.5 points against Clemson. Button it up down in Atlanta for the SEC crown and drop Alabama from -17 to -7 points over Florida.

And if you're a Big 12 fan, Oklahoma -6 looks like a buy against Iowa State. The Sooners lost to the Cyclones at Ames back in early October, 37-30, so revenge is the first dish on the table. Since that loss, the Okies have ripped off six straight wins with five covers. And the offense has started to sing. They've scored 278 points in those six games, which works out to an average of 46 points per. Looks like the defense is humming as well. After giving up 45 points to Texas, the Sooners next five opponents managed 14, 28, 9, 13 and 14. The D is #1 in the Big 12 against the run, #1 in pass efficiency and #1 in sacks. And even though he's technically a freshman, Oklahoma QB Spencer Rattler has shown some pinpoint accuracy, hitting on 70% of his passes in three of the last four games. Finally, the Sooners will have two VERY important pieces back that missed the first game. RB Rhamondre Stevenson actually had to sit out the first five games, but since coming back, he has rumbled for 382 yards and 6 TDs in four games. They also get DE Ronnie Perkins back, one of the Big 12’s best pass rushers. And a big man with a GIANT chip on his shoulder because he was SNUBBED for the First Team All-Big 12. In his last four games, Perkins has combined for 17 tackles and recorded four sacks. Gonna ride the Sooner Schooner, you know, the covered wagon with the white horses, all the way to the bank!
