This weekend entails the inevitable end to what was one hell of a year. 2011 consisted of not one, but two lockouts, the sex scandal plague, nonstop concussion banter, and a phenomenon better known as Tebow. What else can you ask for during the final day of this year then to win money. The locks are below.
Saturday
NCAA Football
2:00pm
Utah (+2) vs. Georgia Tech- Under Coach Kyle Whittingham, Utah has gone 6-1 in bowl games. They have a running back that has surpassed 1400 yards and a stout defense that has allowed less than 20 points per game. That said, I could see this game being won by a field goal since GT has the third best rushing attack in the game. No matter what, it should be a good one, and while GT would like to put a halt to their record of 0-6 in bowl games skid, they won’t do it this year
3:30pm
UCLA (+3) vs. Illinois- While UCLA is the first team ever to make a bowl game with a losing record, Illinois is the first team with six straight losses after 6 wins. This game is not going to be pretty or exciting, but between Franklin and Prince, Illinois will not be able to hold UCLA down. You can also look at statistical averages and notice that UCLA averages more passing yards, rushing yards, total yards, and points per game.
NBA
3:30pm
LA Lakers (-5.5) vs. Denver- Denver has done better than most had expected after the departure of Melo, but they are certainly now not a top tier team. Now while Lawson is a great player, Bryant and Gasol will make sure to stay in the driver seat. Bet big on the Lakers as they are starting to get the new system down under a new coach.
Sunday
NFL
1:00pm
Jets (+3)- vs. the Dolphins- There are a few things that are a given when it comes to Rex Ryan. First, he is an arrogant pric, who over hypes his team. Second, he was ridiculous statements every year. Third, he knows how to run a defense. Finally, he gets his teams to the dance. This game has playoff implications as they need to win then hope Ms. Lady Luck is on their side and Rex will not allow them to completely end their chances by their own hands.
4:15pm
Kansas City (+3) vs. Denver Broncos-The Tebowminites believed they would win every game with this mediocre QB at the helm, which has proven to be wrong. Kansas City is a little better than their record while the Boncos are worse than their record. Watch as Denver losses game and wish the Raiders the best of luck in the playoffs.
8:30pm
Giants vs. Cowboys (o 46.5)- This is the biggest game of the weekend. Whoever wins, wins the division while the other gets an early vacation. With Romo being given the green light to play and Eli playing at an elite level, I foresee a shitload of points scored.
Happy Betting in 2011 - Kyle Ariano
