Taking UTAH. I like this Utah team. I like their coach - 11-4 in Bowls. Lost a tough one LY here to Ohio State. Like their QB - he will look to get the Rose Bowl W after getting hurt late vs the Buckeyes LY. Like the defense a bit more than Penn State's especially since Joey Porter Jr opted out. PSU had a great year. Lose to just Michigan and Ohio State, a pair of playoff losers, well, that isn't a bad season. This spot just screams Utes. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES

Taking TULANE. Line has gone from basically a PK to a +2 for the Green Wave here. Probably based on their QB being healthy to play. And that is really the handicap here. If he is 100%, well this line is still probably a little short for the Trojans. Honestly though, even with him a go, I still like us to win this thing. 11-2 ATS/SU is a nice season. What better way to end things then coming out in 2023 and  beating a PAC 12 team that while also 11-2, is a team that maybe feels it let a playoff spot slip away losing their Championship Game. Live dog here in  my eyes - Last year, Tulane played a Lincoln Riley led Oklahoma team as 31 point dogs and lost by 5. This is better Tulane team and a USC team that for my money, is not all that excited to be playing in the Cotton Bowl when they think they should have been playing last night in the Peach. 4* Money Maker TULANE

Taking the RAMS. I am not saying the Rams are back after scoring 50 last week! Does that even count vs Denver. That is more of a 29 vs the rest of the NFL. Broncos finally fired their HC. See Ya -- Look. I said on Look Ahead Lines and Mid Day Money I thought Colts would sneak up on the Chargers so we were grabbing the points thinking the line drops. A 51 spot and lack luster 20-3 win on MNF drops the line a bit. I am still not sold on LAC. I don't like the coach. And yeah. Loads of talent on offense. Defense has some stud pieces. Even now at 6.5 - how many people are saying.. are you kidding me. Chargers can't win by a touchdown. Chargers have won 2 games all season by more than 6 points! Baker has a HC who is getting the best from him. Is this even a road game for the Rams? Won't be shocked if Rams win outright here. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS

Taking the NINERS. Another week of game under his belt. Purdy looking pretty good. Niners defense a monster. But really. For me - coaching. This is huge mismatch. Line should be 10 with this Vegas crew. What a disaster of a season. Denver is right up there. But these guys. A close second. I can't even put the Rams there because they lost their QB and WR. Shocked the Raider can even show up since they play with zero heart. 5 blown leads. This was a playoff team last year who canned a coach the players liked. McDaniels back to NE as OC then to replace The Hoodie.  --- LINE IS NOW 10 as Carr is Out.. Good luck to the QB.. Raiders Team Total UNDER in play for sure. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking CAROLINA. How the heck is Tampa favored by a TD over anyone? We said on Mid Day Money on Christmas, take that TD with Arizona. Home, away. It doesn't matter. Why are people thinking last years team is showing up? It hasn't. This is the 2nd to last game of the regular season. Today. Today they turn it on. Sure Jan. Vs a Panthers team that is playing all out for their guy Wilks. Give me the points. Give me some ML on Carolina. We are on the Under 41.5/42. 4* Money Maker CAROLINA PANTHERS

Taking the PATRIOTS. Could have gotten a better number earlier but still some plus money here on New England. Miami. What a fall. Faded them vs the Bills and they showed life. Thought, ok, home, 3 straight losses. A GB team that I don't like at all. Good spot to win and get back on track. Yikes. Tua is done. Though I do like Bridgewater. Guy is a gamer. And he covers. But I think the air is sucked out of the room for the Dolphins. Miami now 0-4 SU 1-3 ATS. 2-5 ATS on the road giving up 31ppg. Again. In the cold. No thanks. Now NE. Holy Moly. Another brutal finish. I have to side with them in this spot. Revenge. Playoffs spot on the line. Final home. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking GEORGIA + the OVER here. I think the Bulldogs win this one 44-27. Ohio State has trouble stopping a good offense. We saw that their last 2 times playing Michigan. We saw that vs Utah in last years bowl game. We will see it here vs Georgia. Georgia D isn't last years defense. That was a record setting defense. This is still a good bunch. I also think we have a huge coaching edge. The OL is fantastic. No sacks allowed since October. Run game is 3 headed monster. A veteran QB who won't make mistakes. I thought coming into the season these were the 2 best teams. That being said, Georgia by double digits here. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA BULLDOGS

Taking MICHIGAN. Look. Who doesn't love TCU. What a year. And I am all for the dogs. This team, man. They just find a way to win games. They couldn't punch it vs KST, but still, this is a talented group. For me though - the defense. A lot of crooked numbers on the board allowed by TCU. I think the Wolverines can put up a 40+ spot here. Just running, running and then bust out some passing! Don't sleep on this Michigan pass attack. It wasn't called upon when you basically had a Heisman guy running amuck on the field. TCU will hang, but in the end, I feel Michigan locks up a double digit win this afternoon. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN WOLVERINES

Taking KANSAS STATE. So KST gets the call. I know Bama QB is playing. We will see what the Tide is made of. Do they sulk being in a lesser bowl thinking they should be in the Playoffs. How motivated is this bunch. I can't believe they talked Bryce into playing. Wow. You know what I do know though - I know the Big 12 Champions are pumped to be here. Facing this team. Come on. I like our HC. I think he will add some trickery to the game. This would be a huge win for his program. We got a great RB. A pair of solid QBs to throw some quirks into things. And back to Alabama. Motivation. I don't see it. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE WILDCATS

Taking SOUTH CAROLINA. What a run to the end the year. Rattler that old Sooner Heisman guy. He's playing - Good for him playing for the coach. Both teams with opt outs on offense that will hurt them. Irish most notably losing their QB and TE. But SC is down playmakers also. Just think getting points, we have a guy with a chip on his shoulder with something to prove. And when bowling, that is sometimes all you need. 4* Money Maker SOUTH CAROLINA

Taking UCLA. No portal, we would be looking at a Pitt outright winner here. But - when you lose your QB, RB, 6 defensive starters, well, might be time to hook up a fade train. UCLA first bowl since 2017. Chip Kelly needs a big double digit winner here. DRT was a Heisman QB at times this year. He should put up some nice numbers in this one. Lean Under 52 here also with the Pitt Opt Outs. 4* Money Maker UCLA BRUINS

Taking WASHINGTON. Not a chance I take Texas. And let me tell you - you look at this matchup. Washington better record. 'ranked' higher. Better ranking in Playoffs. But yet. Washington the dog. This line has dropped down to a 3.5. But, if you watch the Mid Day Money, you knew 3 weeks ago we would be taking the Pennix show. This kid has a lot of to prove, as Washington as a whole also. They get to face 'Texas' Oh Big name Texas. Soon to be SEC. Puh-leaze. Sark. Guy finds ways to lose. When is the last big game he won. Yes. Texas has some tough losses. Bama, TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech. Finding ways to lose the Longhorn way. Huskies get the shaft after being tied and having better record in PAC 12 for a championship shot. So yeah, they want to come in and Texas. Longhorns best RBs opt out. Huge drop-off. Texas will probably lose some other pieces also. Not the case for the Washington crew. Take the Points. Take the ML. I think Washington wins by Double Digits. 8* Sure Shot WASHINGTON HUSKIES

4* Money Maker SIU EDWARDSVILLE 

Taking DALLAS here. Line has moved as Titians will be resting guys for next week vs the Jags. Do I want you laying 10 with the Cowboys here. Of course not. That is why we are on the sites laying 6. We are heading into Week 17. If you haven't watched my Look Ahead Lines show this season, or last season, well maybe get up to speed for the final week of the season and watch for the playoffs. You don't hit 64% NFL sides/totals by waiting for people on TV to tell you who they like! At 10 points, man, short week, I can see holding your noise and taking the Titans. They need the win next week more than anything. Short week - Rookie QB - OL missing starters - Henry out?  -vs a decent Dallas D.. Even laying 6 I thought this was 2 TD win for Dallas. Titans have topped 19 points twice their last 10 games. Total wise leaning Over 40.5  4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking FLORIDA STATE. Huge move on this one. Still think Seminoles win by double digits. One of the best RB in the nation, out for the Sooners. Let's add a couple OLs. Out. You downgrade at RB huge and now lose starting OL men. Yikes. This is just a huge game for FSU and their HC. 10 wins. Crush 'Oklahoma'. Sooners might be 6-6, but, it is still a huge college name. Noles putting up 40+ in 4 of their last 5 (38 in the miss). 5* Best Bet FLORIDA STATE

Taking EAST CAROLINA. Hungry Pirates here. Bowl cancelled last year. They will be pumped up here. Good news for them - they get a Coastal team being led by an interim HC. Flames QB to the portal, but, it is out there he said he will play? Is he healthy enough? Their best OL, their C, left for NC. Their best defense guy is heading to Michigan. ECU with a 5th year cat looking lead his team the W on the way out the door. 4* Money Maker EAST CAROLINA

Taking UTAH STATE. Memphis clearly bringing superior offense to First Responders Bowl. This line though has dipped even as Utah State lost a 1000 yard rusher opting out for the NFL draft reasons. Reports though he may play. It would help vs a poor Memphis rushing defense. As good as the Tigers offense is, it does play some close games 7 decided by 12 or less, 4 within a TD.  As much as like my dogs to be live for outright upsets, this one falls into the get in the backdoor basket. 4* Money Maker UTAH STATE

Taking GEORGIA SOUTHERN. Clay Helton shows arrives from the PAC 12 and Georgian Southern goes 6-6 and finds a bowl berth! - Look. Simple handicap for me here. GASO QB was the starter at Buffalo last year and played 5 years for the Bulls! Guy threw more TDs this year then his entire career at Buffalo (33 games)! I like the Sun Belt a bit more than the MAC. Buffalo dropped 3 of last 4 and their win was 23-22 as a 12pt fav and were favored in 2 of the losses. At least with the Eagles we can say, Ok, 3 of 4 losses, and you were dogs in all 4 of those. They have been dogs in 9 of their last 10 games. This is feisty bunch with a solid offense. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA SOUTHERN

Taking MIAMI. Man. Dolphins hurt me vs the Bills last week. I though that was a bad spot - 3 straight road games. Revenge for Bills. Some cold and snow. But. I do not get the cover as a RB decides to take a dive at the 2 and the kicker in some wind and snow knocks it through. Anyway. Packers don't look good to me. They haven't all season. So you beat the Rams. Baker was picked up off the street on a bus bench 2 weeks ago. Miami offense is a tad bit better. Hill and Waddle should have pretty good games here. Won't be shocked if both go over 100 with TDs. Short week for GB which again, has been average at best this season. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS

Taking the COWBOYS. Grabbed them before the Hurts news. Also OVER the 50 which has since come down. Said earlier about the Browns Under at 39 now 32.5, sometimes the earlier number helps, here, not so much. That being said. The initial reaction to move this to 6, too much in my eyes. Now between 4-5 makes a little more sense. Dak outplayed him in previous year. Dallas with Dak has no problems putting up some offense. But Dak has struggled with INTs the last couple weeks. If they want any chance of making a playoff run, that has to end. Philly need to win 1 of last 3 to clinch 1 seed. Dallas pretty much set as the 5 seed. As long as this stays around 4ish, Dallas should get it done. I can't see Eagles risking Hurts here when they don't need to. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Total Money OVER Philly/ Dallas

Taking the TEXANS. I have mentioned my Look Ahead Lines show in these write ups through-out the course of the season. And here we have yet another case of get down early on a game. A 3. Titans at -3 now. So Tannehill is banged up. They beat these guys 17-10 without him earlier this year. I guess we couple that with the Houston's past 2 spirited efforts vs the Chiefs and Cowboys. Heck - toss in that Browns game with a Punt TD, fumble TD and INT TD with a possible rookie QB plus revenge! They may break through to the elusive W column! Now 4 straight losses for Tennessee. They canned their GM - and they were in 1st place at the time. Lovie and company outright this afternoon for a Christmas miracle. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS
