Las Vegas - First stop today is Oklahoma. Lemme throw some scores at you from the last 10 years for the Sooners opening game at home. In 2011, they crushed Tulsa 47-14. In 2012, it was a 69-13 blowout against Florida A&M. In 2013, they threw a 34-0 bagel at UL-Monroe. In 2014, it was a 48-16 W against Louisiana Tech. In 2015, how about a 41-3 W over Akron. In 2016, they saw UL-Monroe again, and blasted 'em 59-17. In 2017, they squashed UTEP 56-7. In 2018, they obliterated Florida Atlantic 63-14. In 2019, they just barely squeezed past Houston, 49-31. And last season, the fed Missouri State a 48-0 bagel. You get the picture. That's an average win of 39.9 points per game, and if you want, just round it up to 40. The Sooners were supposed to play at Tulane, but the game has been moved to Norman, and it looks like a 52-14 final sounds about right.

How about a little Over/Under action. We have looked at the Clemson/Georgia game from all the different angles, and not prepared to jump on a side. However, we LOVE the OVER in this matchup, listed at 51 points, and that's because these so called dominant defenses give up bushels of points. Of course Georgia and Clemson give up squat to the lousy teams, but when they get in against quality, the scoreboard lights up. Last season, the Bulldogs gave up 41 to Alabama and 44 to Florida. Dabo Swinney's Tigers were also ripped by quality teams in 2020, giving up 47 to Notre Dame and 49 to Ohio State. Expecting a final that ends with 60+ points on the board, and will be DANCING all the way to the BANK!

Of course, what would a Saturday be without a gorgeous three team 10-point teaser. Take Penn State from +5.5 to +15.5 points against Wisconsin. Grab Indiana and bump the Hoosiers up from +4 to +14 points against Iowa. Close it with Louisiana-Lafayette and take the Ragin' Cajuns from +9 to +19 points against Texas.
