Friday's College Football Play of the Day: LSU

I'm surprised to see a lot of people wanting to take Arkansas in this game.

LSU is at home and giving 12 to the Razorbacks.

I can't go against Les Miles and the No. 1 Tigers.

The Tigers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 conference games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 10.5 or greater.

The LSU defense is too strong and Arkansas, although a good team, is a notch below LSU.

Take LSU and give the 12.  Should be a fun game to watch.

College Football Play of the Day for 11/5/11: Syracuse

Syracuse travels to UConn this week and are getting 2 points.

I don't see what an improved Syracuse team isn't the favorite.  The Orange will win the game outright.

The Orange are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss and the Huskies are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Take Syracuse and the 2 puntos.

A bonus pick this week.  How could I not make a selection in the LSU / Alabama game?

I actually like LSU getting the 4.5 points as this game should be decided by a field goal.  I'm looking forward to this one.

College Bowl Play of the Day: Cotton Bowl

It's January 7, and we have LSU and Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.

Both teams have coaches that receive a lot of criticism.  But this season they won games and here they are in the 2011 Cotton Bowl.

All you have to know here is LSU is the better team.

LSU is favored by 2.5 pts and my analysis says it should be more than that.  That with the fact that LSU is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Bowl games. 

Texas A&M missed out on the Big 12 Championship game due to a tiebreaker, and they finished with six straight wins in the Big 12.  LSU uses a two-quarterback rotation, and they use it well.  Look for that to confule the A&M defense and look for LSU to capitalize on a couple turnovers.

LSU has a little too much for A&M and they will cover.
