Las Vegas - Championship Saturday baby, lets roll. In the $12,000,000 game, we'll throw a few chips on Lane Kiffin and Florida Atlantic over UAB. Why $12 MILL??? The Kiff has been at FAU for three years, which is just about the limit of his shelf life at any one place. There are a handful of really solid openings, especially in the SEC, that'll probably pay between $2 and $4 million per year.

Las Vegas - Anybody gonna go against a Utah team that is on a gorgeous 8-0 roll, straight up and against the spread? Hmmmmmm. Me, maybe. Last season, the Utes hosted Oregon IN Salt Lake City as a -6 point favorite, and posted a 32-25 win. Not exactly a blowout, and Utah had HOME field. This game is at a neutral site, Santa Clara, California, so no edge this time for the Utes.

Las Vegas - My eyes were a little tired last night, and missed two YUGE spreads in conference championship games. Bigger than the upcoming -28.5 on the Clemson/Virginia game. In 2011, Oregon was a -31 point favorite at home over UCLA in the PAC 12 title tilt, and the Ducks quacked to a 49-31 victory, but failed to cover the enormous spread. The total was 66 which was a piece of cake to the Over.

Las Vegas - Been in the odds/betting/handicapping space for almost four decades, and have NEVER EVER seen a 28.5 point favorite in a conference championship game. Understand that Clemson NEVER EVER loses, and has DESTROYED its last five opponents by 52, 45, 45, 49 and 35. But still, twenty eight and a hook against a Virginia team that has won nine games looks kinda steep. Gotta study some more before opening the wallet. Get back to you in a few days.
