College Championship week bets part 1
UNLV vs Boise St -4
UNLV is better at creating quality drives, but struggles finishing those drives. Boise st is better at finishing drives, but does get three and outs often. So it’s a tough game to handicap. I do expect a lot of points. I have not made a bet on this one, in hopes that Vegas residents may push the line down to three and maybe I’ll see value in Boise St. At home I lean Boise St.
Boise St. 34, UNLV 30
Clemson vs SMU -2.5
Clemson is no longer Clemson. I like SMU here, but their bad pass defense had me keep the bet small. I also lean the over since both teams played to the under last week, and Clemson/South Carolina under was deceiving because the teams combined for 5 turnovers inside the other’s side of the field, which really weighs down the total. SMU 34, Clemson 27

The Mountain West gets the coveted Friday night championship game

Clemson is no longer Clemson, but I can't see SMU withstanding the physical poundin to the roundin
-
needs some @DHD flair in this thread.
-
do Vegas residents betting on unlv move lines anymore now that it’s legal in most places?
-
the line did open at -4.5 I believe
-
aw shucks would consider that a sin. Clemson only does missionary.
-
actually, SMU is one of the best run defenses statistically in the country. So they don’t mind getting dirty
-
Part of me also does want to see Clemson win close so Alabama gets boxed out. But I just can’t see it happening.

J'Ville St. -4.5
Army +4.5 Over 45.5
UNLV +4.5 Over 57.5

I live off and on in Vegas - go back and forth between Seattle and Vegas.
UNLV spreads get pushed a lot by Vegas residents.
USC spreads get pushed a lot as well by drunk LA tourists, right before their game starts. If you're ever betting against these 2 teams while in Vegas, wait until just before their games start, and their athletic supporters are inebriated.
