Las Vegas - Double V is gonna roll down to Houston and try the Rockets -4 points over the Sixers. Saw that Joel was upgraded to probable, but don’t know how hard he’ll be able to go on the balky knee. And this has not been a great road trip, with three straight losses heading to Texas. Houston just wiped the floor with a really good Denver team, 130-104, and has won six of the last eight overall. Light play to the Rockets.

Las Vegas - If you're interested in the TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl, Cincinnati -7.5 (buy the hook down to -7) is probably the side. Luke Fickell motored 106.6 miles South on the I-71 from Columbus to Cincinnati. He spent 15 years at the Horseshoe guiding the Bucks defense for the last 11. He took over the Bearcats in 2017 and they stunk it up at 4-8. However, last season, he caught fire, and Cincy won 11 games. With a W this afternoon in Birmingham, Luke will have YO 11 in the bank again.

Las Vegas - Thinking about Baylor +4.5 points over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. The only issue is the health of the Bears QB, Charlie Brewer.

Las Vegas - Not overwhelmed with any of the bowl games today, so we'll try a three team 10-point teaser. Take Kansas State and bump the Wildcats up from +3 to +13 points against Navy. Then rock Utah and take the Utes down from -7 to a pick'em against Texas. Close it out tomorrow in the Rose Bowl, where we'll grab Oregon and take the Ducks from +3 to +13 points against Wisky.
Also thinking about a little taste of St. John's +4.5 over Butler on the college hoop board.

Las Vegas - Not saying that Mississippi State is even close to LSU's level, but the Bulldogs do live in the SEC, and that's more than enough to handle a struggling Louisville squad in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl. And while we're not always into comparative scores, you gotta check this out. State played Kentucky earlier in the season and posted a 28-13 win. The 'Ville played Kentucky in the season finale and was SMOKED, 45-13. But there's more.
