Las Vegas - Are you KIDDING me??? The Alabama LendingTree Bowl??? UL-Lafayette vs. Miami-Ohio??? Will anyone be watching??? Probably not, but you know they WILL be betting. So, numbers. The Ragin' Cajuns are a GIGANTIC 14 point favorite, and roll into Mobile with a sweet 10-3 overall record, 9-4 against the spread. Lafayette was 7-3 as a favorite and 4-2 on the road. The Cajuns went Over 6 times and Under 7 times.

Las Vegas - Leaning to Captain Kirk and the Purple People, but gotta see if Dalvin Cook is gonna play. He's listed as probable, but you know how the NFL coaches love to lie. If Cook is a go, we're on Minnesota, light. Love Drew Brees, love Michael Thomas and the rest of the offense, but lets dig a little deeper. Most folks are looking at last week, when the Saints crushed the Panthers, 42-14, and the Vikings lost to the Bears, 21-19. Not a big surprise.

Las Vegas - Just about every metric you look at favors Buffalo. Seems like the entire world is on the Bills. And why not. The Buffs enjoyed a gorgeous 7-1-1 mark in their last nine road games, while Houston covered only one of the last eight as a home favorite.

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.
