Las Vegas - Taking a look at the Military Bowl between Duke and Central Florida, and this game hinges on the health of UCF QB John Rhys Plumlee. JRP had a hamstring issue in the AAC Championship game against Tulane, and was held to MINUS SEVEN yards on nine attempts. And the Knights lost big, 45-28. That's why the line switched from UCF -2.5 at the open, to Duke now -3 or -3.5 depending on where you shop.

Las Vegas - Okay, I'll admit that the name Kyle Vantrease was not in my Rolodex, or even on my radar. But lemme tell you a little about KVT. He played QB at Buffalo for five years and then rolled down South to play for Georgia Southern this season. Kyle is gonna be JACKED UP to play against his old team, and after checking in on his numbers, we're a little jacked as well. Vantrease started 12 games, had a completion rate of 61.3%, for 3,895 yards, with 25 TDs and 15 INTs.

Las Vegas - LOVE this number. Since 1930, teams with a 30+ point lead were 1,548-1-1. The Colts had a 33-0 bulge last week against the Vikings and wound up losing, 39-36. Make it 1,548-2-1! Indy has decided to bench Matt Ryan in favor of Nick Foles who has not thrown a pass in over a YEAR! Also, the BEST player on the Colts, Jonathan Taylor, will be watching. But the Chargers have covered only three of the last nine, so we'll pass on picking a side.

Las Vegas - YUGE shock. There are two more games left on the NFL board, and I'm NOT interested in opening the wallet for any of 'em.

Las Vegas - Got a full slate of NFL games on today, which means just one thing. ANOTHER three team 10-point teaser, and of course, ANOTHER winner! Start out with the Bengals and take Cincy from -3 to +7 points against the Patriots. Why? Maybe Cincy will not win, but since the Bengals have covered 11 of the last 12, they'll have NO problem staying inside a touchdown. Then move to Chicago where we'll plump up the Bears from +8 to +18 points against the Bills.
