25 Dime - Central Florida

Lots of things working against Rutgers here. First it is basically a home game for UCF as they have purchased enough tickets to make the game a sellout at Tropicana Field. It is also smack dab in the middle of finals for the Rutgers players so distraction about taking finals are at a max. Then we go to the field. Rutgers has a very shaky freshman QB in Tom Savage and UCF has two DE's that are in the top 10 in sacks. Both are in double digits, so he will be even more tentative than usual. We also see the line basically remaining at Rutgers -2.5 remaining the entire time after a short buy in on Rutgers. This usually means strong support for the dog here or it would have been pounded by sharp money at -2.5. It wasn't so we have to support where the support is. On the dog UCF

5 Dime - Saints

Oh Brother!! Delighted we get a game of this magnitude alone on a Saturday night, but C'Mon Man! Everything we are taught from a handicapping perspective has to go out the window. Normally we would jump on a dog that was really in a must win situation but we have a undefeated team at home this late in the season that has rolled everyone in big games, including the anhialation of fellow NFC East opponent Giants in a similar situation earlier . Many of sharp bettors have been burned by the Saints this year where it seems that traditional handicapping has to go out the window. Dallas is in their traditional swoon this time of year and NO in big games have looked absolutely jaw dropping. I'm going to take NO here in this spot. We are for the rarest of time, going to go away from traditional handicapping and go with our gut that says NO in a blowout, as they continue their amazing season. They are that good!! And BTW, when was the last time that Tony Romo has won a big game like this??? Never!!
