dime bet211 SMU 13.0 (-115) BetUS vs 212 Nevada
Analysis:
SMU coach June Jones returns to his old stomping grounds, as he spent nine seasons in charge of the Hawaii program. Now Jones brings his Mustangs to the island for the program's first bowl appearance in 22 years. Motivation will definitely NOT be a problem for SMU. SMU has had problems stopping the run this season, which should mean much trouble against Nevada's vaunted rushing attack. But Nevada has lost two-thirds of that three-headed monster, with RB Luke Lippincott out with a toe injury and RB Vai Taua ruled academically ineligible.
On the flip side, Nevada has the second-worst pass defense in the nation, which will be a problem in this one. SMU brings the nation's 29th best passing attack into this ballgame. Freshman QB Kyle Padron has really excelled in Jones' spread offense, wi‡nning four of his five starts while tossing 64.4% completions for 1,462 yards and 8 TDs with only 4 INTs. It should also be noted that Nevada defensive coordinator Nigel Burton resigned to become the head coach at Portland State. That leaves linebackers coach Ken Wilson to run the defense for the first time in this one.
Bottom line: Nevada is missing two-thirds of their rushing attack, and their defensive coordinator has "left the building." That should be more than enough issues to keep SMU in this game until the very end. Jones will have his troops ready to play on his former home field. Grab the points with SMU.
Analysis:
The Lakers have been off since Tuesday and I'm sure they're very much looking forward to this Christmas day matchup with LeBron and the Cavs. While the Lakers have had two days off to prepare, this will be Cleveland's fourth road game in six days. The Lakers won both meetings last season by double digits, including a 17-point win at Staples Center. The two double-digit wins are no fluke, as LA just has so many more scoring options than the Ca„vs. More scoring options plus more rest equals a solid victory for the home team. Lay the points with the Lakers.
Merry Christmas, everyone! And THANK YOU for your support.
