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.

Las Vegas - Looking at the Seahawks -3 points over the Vikings tonight. Banking on history repeating itself. Last season, these teams met in Seattle, yes, on a Monday night, and the Seahawks rolled to an easy 21-7 win, as yes, a -3 point favorite. And I know you're wondering about Minny off the bye. Not great, with only two covers in the last nine games. And you're probably also wondering about the Vikes as a dog. Not great, with just one cover in the last seven getting points.

Las Vegas - Gonna roll with the Chiefs -10 points over the Raiders.
Las Vegas - Gonna throw some love and some cash on the 'Mullet,' Mike Gundy, and Oklahoma State, to cover +13.5 points over Oklahoma in the traditional 'Bedlam' clash. Not really a fan of the 'Mullet,' never had a 'Mullet,' but Gundy is still a national treasure. Woulda thrown this one into the best bet category if the Cowboys still had Spencer Sanders at QB. Sadly, he went down, and Dru Brown stepped in.
