One Last Theorem Play and College BBall

LAS VEGAS BOWL:

Boise State vs. Utah - Line is Boise State -17 - Repeat after me: "THEOREM! THEOREM! THEOREM!"  Sure the real rationale for the Boise State Theorem is no longer in play but that doesn't make it any less fun to chant.  We're playing another BSU gambling angle today and we'll call it The Fury.  The Broncos have had over a month to sit around and stew about what was lost on the field in Reno over Thanksgiving weekend.  They have been waiting for a big stage - well, at least a stage - to redeem itself and unleash some fury.  That happens tonight at the expense of a Utah team that was exposed late in the season.  The Utes got smoked at home by TCU - nothing to be ashamed of.  However, they followed that up with one of the season's most humiliating performances in getting demolished at Notre Dame.  Utah is down to its second string QB for this game as well.  We're just not expecting this game to be close.  Kellen Moore should throw for about 400 yards and 5 TDs and the Broncos D should step it on up.  Take Boise State in a cake walk and give those points.  Final score is 54-23.  LOCK IT UP 

College Basketball:

We have afternoon basketball today thanks to holiday tourneys in Cancun and Hawaii, among other places.  Then we have a number of evening games.  Here are a few to make some money on:

Washington State (-9) over Mississippi St (Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii) - Miss St suspended its best player for this game - not that they had a chance even with him in the lineup.

Michigan State (-6.5) at home over Texas - The Spartans finally get on track at home.

Drexel (+13) at Syracuse - Drexel proved to be a handful in an upset of Louisville and have a big-time, big man to contend with.  The Cuse is having trouble closing games out.  Look for a backdoor Drexel cover.

Xavier (+5) at Gonzaga - Because Xavier is one of the toughest and most underrated teams in the country each year and they don't mind hitting the road.  And because Gonzaga's reputation might have finally gotten out in front of them.

Stetson (+5) over Akron (Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic) - Because the Stetson Hatters are due - trust me.
