Deja Vu for these 2, as they met last season in the Poinsettia Bowl with TCU coming through with a misleading 17-16 win as the field goal favorite.

The Frogs dominated the stat sheet, but the 1-point win was the best they could manage.

Not tonight my friends, as TCU will take this one by double-digits.

Boise State's defense is lacking, TCU's is NOT. In their 12 games this season, the Frogs held the opposition to 14 points or less.

That is going to make a difference come the latter stages of this Fiesta Bowl, I feel sure of that.

This line is a sucker line plain-and-simple. Boise looks enticing as the dog, as we all remember the trick-plays, etc., but I am here to tell you that the Horned Frogs are not to be denied this evening.

Lay it with TCU

10 DIMER - PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS

Let's see, the Blazers have won the last 4 in the series, and 7 of the last 8.

The road team has covered 7 of the last 8 in this series, and Portland comes into La-La-Land having won 6 of their last 7 games overall!

I gotta tell you, I will gladly take the Blazers plus a basket or so against the Clippers.

The Clippers have won just 2 of their last 6 straight up, and both of those wins came against East Conference teams that were playing on the road over the holidays.

Take Portland to notch another series win.

Blazers plus the points the play.
