Today is a big day in college football with multiple conference championships being decided. Baylor and Oklahoma kick things off today for the Big 12 Championship and possible spot in the College Football Playoff.
That depends a lot of #4 Georgia versus #2 LSU in the SEC Championship. There are those that think with Georgia winning here that both teams will end up in the playoff four, but if LSU is able to win dominantly then that last spot will be up for grabs. They could, of course, extend this team beyond just four teams, but that would make too much sense.
Other big games include Wisconsin facing undefeated Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship, Ohio State looks like a shoe-in for the playoff either way, and Virginia taking on undefeated Clemson. These games have some big lines on them, but it should be fun either way.
College Football Betting Tips:
Wisconsin vs. Ohio State: I would love to pick an upset here, but Ohio State is just too dang scary. They are outscoring teams by an average of 38.1 points per game this season and they dominated Wisconsin in their match-up earlier this season. OSU beat the Badgers 38-7 in that one and this one has infinitely higher stakes. It’s really hard to see the Buckeyes faltering under the pressure here. I’m seeing a 3+ touchdown final score here. Lay the points.
Virginia vs. Clemson: This match-up has a much bigger line with the Clemson Tigers being favored by over four touchdowns. I can see them winning by that much, but that line is simply too rich for my blood.
I do like the over though. With the Tigers being favored by 28 points and averaging over 45 points per game on the season, it’s not hard to see them going over the total here. The Virginia defense has allowed 27 or more in the past four weeks and none of those offenses were near as explosive as Clemson.
I can see Clemson putting up 6+ touchdowns on offense today and the over coming in for us.
Bet Virginia/Clemson Over 56.5
NBA Betting Tips:
Cleveland Cavaliers at Philadelphia 76ers: The Cavaliers have been one of the worst teams in the league this season and their only real upside has been their front line of Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. Well, tonight those two are going to have to deal with Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris which pretty much wipes out that advantage.
I see the Sixers coming into this one motivated. They had an awful loss to the Wizards last time out with a ton of turnovers and they should be looking to play a much tighter game here. They can beat Cleveland at every phase of the game if they are on and I think they can easily cover this large spread if they do.
Phoenix Suns at Houston Rockets: This is the fourth and final game of a road trip for the Suns and that is a time I like to target times. They can often be sick of the travel and homesick which takes away from their play. Considering they aren’t near on the same level as Houston without all those other issues, I think the Rockets can win easily here. James Harden has been unstoppable and I’m not seeing anyone on Phoenix who is going to get in the way of that.
