2* South Carolina -4
(I posted this game earlier as a 3* and am backing down to a 2*. In fairness, I will charge myself juice -0.1 unit as the line is still -4 as of this posting.)
I still like the play a lot but must consider the Big 12's dominance in bowls so far. Nonetheless, South Carolina was a vastly improved team with major motivation here as Spurrier tries to build a program for the future. Please note that SC's last loss was a decent effort vs. Clemson which came back to whip Colorado in a bowl and Colorado was better than Missouri. Missouri has a QB and nothing else.
1* Northwestern/UCLA OVER 74 1/2
Have no fear of this enormous number. Both teams put up huge numbers. While Norhtwestern slowed down offensively the last four games of the year that was because they faced the monster defenses of Ohio State, Iowa and Michigan. When playing teams comparable to UCLA's defense, like Wisconsin, Mich State and Purdue, they scored 134. They even put up 34 vs. penn State. UCLA was stopped only once all year and that was by Southern Cal. UCLA gave up an astonishing 153 points its last three games. Both QBs will be in the NFL next year, Drew Olson of UCLA and Northwestern's Brett Basanez who I think is a legit first rounder. Northwestern runs the spread offense beter than anybody in the country. Here's the key: while both teams score points like crazy, they had less time of possession than their opponents!! Why---because they score quickly. This is the stuff overs are made of.
