4* MAJOR SUPER BOWL "TOTAL" DOMINATOR on Patriots/Seahawks UNDER 48.5 Bottom Line: Odds makers have set the bar too high for this one. The UNDER has been the play for both teams down the stretch as New England is 5-2-1 under in its last 8 games and Seattle is 5-3 under in its last 8 and would have been 6-2 under had the NFC Championship not went to OT. Additionally, Belichick's teams are 25-11 UNDER since 1992 in games played away from home versus teams that average 24.0 PPG or more. If the game took place in the second half of the season, this system tightens up to 17-5. This system speaks to Belichick's ability to concoct game plans to slow down even the best offensive teams. The UNDER is also 4-1 in New England's last 5 Super Bowl games and 11-5 in Seattle's last 16 games versus team with a winning record. Seattle was the #1 ranked defensive team in the NFL during the regular season. New England ranked #8 in scoring defense. Plus, it has held opponents to just 85.1 ypg on the ground over its last 10 games. So much of what Seattle does offensively is set up by the run, but it will have a tough time going off on the ground versus this New England defense. Bet the UNDER.

5* WISEGUY SUPER BOWL *BEST BET* on Patriots +2 (Note: Not sure why the line feed shows -1 because I locked in at +2 well over a week ago. With that said, I like the Pats strong regardless and the play will be graded according to the -1 line.) Bottom Line: While Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson are good, Brady and Belichick are better. The Patriots have lost their last two Super Bowls, but that's even more reason to back them. I think they'll want this one just a little bit more as a result. If you watched the NFC Championship, you know how fortunate Seattle is to be here. Russell Wilson struggled despite getting plenty of help from the running game. New England's run defense is a lot better than Green Bay's, which means Wilson will likely be asked to outduel Brady, and the odds aren't in favor of that. Seattle has been excellent offensively this season averaging 375 yards per game. But, New England is 10-1 ATS the last 3 seasons versus teams that average 375 ypg or more, and it has won these games by an average of 16.7 points. Pound the Pats.

4* MAJOR AFC CHAMPIONSHIP *SUREFIRE* on Colts +7 Bottom Line: The Patriots have been a bad play in the postseason. They are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 playoff games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Conference Championships contests. New England crushed Indy 42-20 in November, but the Colts are on a 34-16 ATS run when out for revenge for a loss where they gave up 28 points or more. The Indy defense has been lights out in the playoffs. That's a great sign because the Colts are 6-0 ATS after allowing 17 points or less in 2 straight games under coach Pagano. They've won by an average of 8.3 points in this situation. The Pats are 0-6 ATS in home games after gaining 50 or less rushing yards last game under coach Belichick. They have won in this spot but only by an average of 1.3 points. Grab the points.

5* WISEGUY NFC CHAMPIONSHIP *BEST BET* on Packers +7.5 Bottom Line: Green Bay lost 36-16 on this field clear back in the season opener, but a lot has changed since then. With a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, I expect Aaron Rodgers and company to take the Seahawks right down to the wire. The biggest thing that has changed is Green Bay's run defense. The Packers allowed Seattle to run for 207 yards in the first meeting, but they have held their last 9 opponents to an average of 92.9 yards. Not surprisingly, they are 8-1 during this span. Seattle has given up only 15.9 ppg this season, but the Packers are 9-1 ATS all-time versus teams that allow 17.0 ppg or less under coach McCarthy. Green Bay won these games by an average of 4.3 points. Pound the Packers.

Teams headed up by Meyer are 21-5 ATS all-time in the underdog role. His teams are also 12-1 ATS all-time off an upset victory. Pound Ohio State.

This system is 4-0 the last 3 seasons. The Lions are on a 6-0 UNDER run in road games played on turf and a 7-0 UNDER run in road games versus teams that allow an average of 7 yards per pass attempt or more. Pound the UNDER.

5* WISEGUY WILD CARD ROUND GAME OF THE YEAR on Bengals +4 Bottom Line: The Bengals lost 27-0 in Indianapolis in October, but that won't keep me from pounding them given the strong history in their favor. Playing road teams that check in off a road loss and are out for revenge for a loss to an opponent has resulted in a 76-36 ATS record the last 10 seasons. Additionally, the Bengals are 6-0 ATS in road games when out for revenge for a loss where they were held to less than 9 points under coach Lewis. They have won in this spot by an average of 5.8 points. This Cincy team has failed to make it out of the wild card round each of the past 3 seasons, and that provides added motivation. Pound the Bengals.

5* WISEGUY BIRMINGHAM BOWL *BEST BET* on East Carolina +7 Bottom Line: ECU concluded the regular season with a disappointing 2-point loss to UCF, but it is 9-1 ATS the last 3 seasons following defeat. The Pirates are also a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 versus SEC foes. ECU has an explosive offense that put up huge numbers against several power conference schools. I think 7 points is too many for the books to be giving to this explosive offensive team, especially considering how anemic Florida has been offensively. The Gators left it all out on the field in their last game against in-state rival FSU only to come up short. They managed to cover the spread but are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a cover. The Florida program is in disarray with Muschamp gone and interim D.J. Durkin soon to follow. I think the Florida players just want to forget this season and move on. Pound the Pirates.

I'm not hesitating to take the points as I believe the wrong team is favored. This line has a lot to do with the respect the public gives the SEC, but we have seen in these bowls that the SEC isn't as strong as in years past, and this is a middle of the road team from the weaker division. The Volunteers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games and 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 games versus teams with a winning record. Pound Iowa.

5* WISEGUY BOWL GAME OF THE YEAR on Minnesota +5 Bottom Line: It's a major letdown for Missouri to be playing an unranked opponent in its bowl game after a disappointing performance against Alabama in the SEC Championship. That game against Alabama mattered way more to the Tigers than this one does. Minnesota, on the other hand, sees this game as a great opportunity, and it has been extremely competitive against good teams in recent seasons, going 10-2 ATS versus teams with a winning record the last 2 seasons, including 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games versus such teams. Pound the Gophers.

It has lost these games by 18.2 points on average. The Lions are also 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games on grass.

They are 3-1 in the last 4 meetings with the loss coming by only 2 points. They are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings with neither loss during this stretch coming by more than 2 points. The Panthers are starting to resemble the team that went 12-4 last season, holding their last 3 foes to 17 points or fewer. Carolina is 58-25 ATS all-time versus teams that allow 24 PPG or more and 56-36 ATS all-time when out for revenge for a loss to an opponent. The Falcons are 12-25 ATS since 1992 in home games following a double-digit victory. The Falcons are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a win of more than 14 points and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game. Pound the Panthers.

The Nittany Lions match up with Boston College extremely well since the Eagles depend on their run game to move the football. It will be nothing doing on the ground against this stout Penn State defense.

Central Mich is stout defensively, ranking 16th in the land in total defense with 331.3 ypg allowed. CMU is on a 21-8 ATS run versus excellent passing teams like WKU that average 275 ypg or more through the air. The Chippewas are on an 11-3 ATS run versus poor run defenses that allow 4.75 yards per carry or more. The Chippewas are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 bowl games.

Additionally, playing the over on teams when the total is between 35.5 and 42 points that are off a home loss by 10 or more points and are up against an opponent that's off a road loss has resulted in a 54-26 (67.5%) record the last 10 seasons.

With extra time to prepare for UTEP's running game, I expect the Aggies to have success slowing it down. I also expect the Aggies to be highly motivated after getting embarrassed at Boise State last game. Utah State is 6-0 ATS the last 3 seasons when getting a bye week's worth of time or more to prepare for an opponent. It is also on a 7-0 ATS run in road/neutral field games following any loss.

4* MAJOR NFC WEST *MARQUEE MATCHUP* on 49ers +10 Bottom Line: This line is an overreaction to San Francisco's bad loss to the Raiders. The 49ers clearly suffered a letdown in the aftermath of losing a big game with Seattle. This is a proud 49ers team. Harbaugh is proud. Kaepernick is proud. The list goes on and on. This very well could be the end of the Harbaugh era and the end of the 49ers' run of NFC championship games, but they won't go down without a fight and would like nothing more than to keep Seattle from winning the division. Playing road teams off a road loss that are out for revenge for a loss to an opponent has resulted in a 73-35 ATS record the last 10 seasons. Playing underdogs or pickems in the 2nd half of the season that are off an upset loss on the road, provided they have a win percentage of 51-60%, has resulted in a 25-6 ATS record since 1983. Lastly, the 49ers are 9-0 ATS under Harbaugh when checking in with 2 losses in a 3-game game. They have won these 9 by an average of 13.6 points.

I expect them to take their frustrations out all over an inferior opponent in Arrowhead Sunday. Playing home favorites of 3.5-10 points that are out for revenge for a loss to an opponent and are also coming off an upset loss has resulted in a 65-28 (70%) ATS record since 1983.

I like having the veteran Kyle Orton in this spot. He knows a thing of two about going toe to toe with Aaron Rodgers and coming out on top. While with Kansas City in 2011, he ended Green Bay's then 19-game win streak. This is also a tough situational spot for Green Bay, hitting the road after playing the Monday night game.

Navy has a bowl game to look forward to while Army does not. The Black Knights will be treating this as their bowl game. Army should also benefit from extra preparation time. It has had 3 weeks to gear up for this contest, 6 more days than Navy. Navy has won 12 straight in the series, and that's not sitting well with the Black Knights. Army appeared close to breaking through, playing the Midshipmen to 6-point game in 2011 and a 4-point game in 2012 before getting embarrassed 34-7 last season. Army returns 16 starters that remember how badly that loss hurt. The Black Knights may come up short, but should give Navy a game here.

The Rams will be out for revenge for last month's 31-14 loss in Arizona, but they are 11-30 ATS since 1992 when looking for same-season revenge. Plus, Fisher's squads are just 15-33 ATS all-time when laying 3.5 to 7.0 at home.

The Falcons have played good football over their last five games, going 3-2 during this stretch with the 2 losses coming by a total of 3 points to very good Detroit and Cleveland teams. Atlanta's improvement has come from the defensive side of the football as it has allowed an average of only 19.5 points over its last four games. The Falcons are 8-0 ATS the last 2 seasons after allowing 6 or more yards per play in 2 consecutive games. They have won by an average of 7.1 points in these games. Playing against favorites of 10.5 or more points in the 2nd half of the season that have beaten the spread by 35 or more points total in their last five games has resulted in an 11-0 ATS record the last 5 seasons.

Washington is a better team than its record looks and has been at its best this season with McCoy getting the snaps. Washington is the superior team statistically on both sides of the football, ranking 11th in both total offense and defense while the Rams rank 25th in total offense and 14th in total defense. In the games St. Louis has won, it has been aided by a plus-7 turnover margin. Washington has a good job of taking care of the football with McCoy in the game. He has just a 1.1 interception percentage. The Rams are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 road games versus teams that average 6.0 yards per play or more.

The Browns are still very much alive in the AFC playoff race, and I'm expecting Brian Hoyer to rise to the occasion and silence all the Johnny Manziel talk. The Colts have one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL, and Hoyer has been able to take advantage against such teams going 14-5-1 ATS in his last 20 games versus teams that give up 6.1-8.1 passing yards per attempt.

4* MAJOR BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP TOTAL DOMINATOR on Ohio State/Wisconsin UNDER 52.5 Bottom Line: Ohio State will be limited offensively following the loss of J.T. Barrett. Wisconsin boasts an elite defense, and it should find plenty of success slowing down 3rd-string QB Cardale Jones. With the loss of Barrett, the Buckeyes lose the offensive balance that has made them so successful. I expect them to be a run-heavy team Saturday. Wisconsin will look to run the football as well because that's what it does. The Badgers rank 119th in the nation in passing offense. Ohio State has the horses to slow down Wisconsin's running game. It held the Badgers to just 104 yards on the ground in last season's meeting. In a matchup of 2 quality defenses that have the benefit of knowing what is coming the large majority of the time (running plays), I'll take the under.

4* MAJOR BEDLAM *BLOOD BATH* on Oklahoma State +21 Bottom Line: Besides the fact this is a huge rivalry game, the Cowboys can become bowl eligible with a win. That provides added incentive here. It also helps that they've had an extra week to prepare. The series has been tight of late with 3 of the last 4 games being decided by 9 points or less. The one that wasn't was a 44-10 Oklahoma State victory. Playing against home favorites of 10.5 to 21 points with a good rushing defense that allows 3.25 or less rushing yards/carry, after allowing 1 or less rushing yards/attempt last game, has resulted in a 23-3 ATS record the last 10 seasons. This system is a perfect 5-0 ATS the last 3 seasons.

4* MAJOR PAC-12 *PUNISHER* on Oregon -13 Bottom Line: The Ducks are 7-0 SU and ATS in their last 7 games with each of their last 6 wins coming by at least 18 points. They have just 1 blemish on their record - Arizona - and I expect them to avenge that loss in impressive fashion. The Ducks are 6-0 ATS after leading their previous game by 24 points or more at the half under coach Helfrich. They have won by an average of 32.8 points in this situation. Oregon is also 6-0 ATS in road/neutral field battles after 3 straight covers as a favorite of 7 points or more over the last 3 seasons. It's won by an average of 27.8 points in this situation. Oregon is one runaway freight train I'm not about to step in front of.

5* WISEGUY MAC GAME OF THE YEAR on Bowling Green +7 Bottom Line: This line is an overreaction to Bowling Green losing its last 2. The Falcons had nothing to play in either game as they had already wrapped up the division. Now, they have everything to play for as they have an opportunity to make it back-to-back MAC titles. This is Northern Illinois' 5th straight MAC Championship game, but it has been far from dominant in the previous 4, going 2-2 with the largest margin of victory at the end of regulation being 3 points (won by 7 in OT in the other). Bowling Green is 11-2 ATS the last 3 seasons in road/neutral field venues versus conference foes. Playing underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points that are off an upset loss to a conference foe as a favorite of 10 or more, provided the game is being played after the first month of the season, has resulted in a 55-25 ATS record since 1992. Pound the Falcons.

4* MAJOR TNF *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Cowboys -3.5 Bottom Line: Chicago is 0-6 ATS the last 3 seasons versus good ball-control teams that average 32 minutes of possession time or more per game. The Bears are 0-6 ATS in the 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons versus good offensive teams that average 350 yards per game or more. They are 0-7 ATS in the 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons versus good passing teams that average 7 or more passing yards per attempt. Chicago is 0-8 SU and ATS in games Jay Cutler plays when the total is 48-55. It has lost these games by an average of 20.1 points. The Bears are also 0-8 ATS after having won 2 of their last 3 games under coach Trestman, losing these contests by an average of 15.5 points.

5* WISEGUY CFB *BEST BET* on ECU -6.5 Bottom Line: Playing on excellent running teams that average 4.8 yards per rush or more when they are taking on a poor running team that averages 3.0-3.5 yards per rush, provided it is a conference matchup, has resulted in a 95-35 ATS record the last 5 seasons. This system is 21-3 ATS this season, and I'm going to ride it. Pound the Pirates.

5* WISEGUY MNF *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Jets +7 Bottom Line: The Jets were brutally embarrassed by the Bills last Monday, which is all the more reason to back them here. Playing teams off a loss of 28 points or more that have been outscored by an average of 4.0 ppg or more on the season has resulted in a 63-32 ATS record the last 10 seasons. The Jets were held to 3 points last Monday but are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games after being held to less than 15 points. Miami put up 36 in Denver but is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games after scoring more than 30 points. The Dolphins are 9-21-1 ATS in the last 31 meetings. Bet the Jets.
