The Big Finish

Last night in the PAC 12 Championship, UCLA was game but it was the Ducks who had game and will go to the Rose Bowl.  The Bruins never gave up in Coach Neuheisel's finale as head coach and kept it well inside the 31 point spread. Oregon's LaMichael James put up 221 yards La-rushing and scored 3 TD's.  Final 49-31.


This is our last big Saturday of the regular season, and there are some really sweet very fun match ups and spreads. Onward!

****  Troy @ Arkansas State -17 1/2
3:30 p.m.
The 9-1 Red Wolves are going to beat Troy, as they say, like a rented mule.
***New Mexico @ Boise State -48 1/2
5:00 p.m.
This match up is perverse.  It's a big number, but Boise could cover by halftime.
** Wyoming -5 1/2  @ Colorado State
1:00 p.m.
Wyoming gave Boise a good game in a losing effort last week.   Colorado State has 7 straight losses on its ledger, and more than a few were pretty one sided.  To illustrate: Colorado State lost to UNLV, who has the distinction of being the team that lost to New Mexico. Cowboys by 17.
* UNLV @ TCU -38 1/2
 1:30 p.m.
Keeping the interrelated thread alive, UNLV, well, they will be happy to get out of there alive tomorrow.

Finally, I'm taking Michigan State +310 in the Big 10+2 championship game in Indianapolis.
