Ohio State is looking to quiet down some of the bad news they have gotten recently with a win tonight. The NCAA suspended 5 OSU players including QB Terrelle Pryor, and that will be a huge blow for the Bucks next year. Good news for OSU fans is that all of these players have said that they will return next year and will play tonight. OSU will also be playing to beat an SEC team in a bowl game for the first time in their last 9 tries.
The key for OSU tonight is to control the ball on the ground. Pryor is an elite athlete and will need to stay mistake free for OSU to win this game.
Arkansas is led by QB Ryan Mallet. Mallet is a huge dude and will need to play huge for Arkansas to pull this one out tonight. Mallet likes to air it out and if the Razorbacks are going to win he will need to spread the OSU defense out and keep them guessing.
Mallet is an NFL QB with his size, accuracy and strength. Pryor is an NFL wide receiver with his speed, agility and vision. But both of these guys are very good college football QB's right now and this is a great match up.
I think that OSU will control the tempo of this game, keep Arkansas from getting into a rhythm, and win this game in the fourth quarter.
Ohio State 28 Arkansas 22
Orange Bowl Recap
Andrew Luck swagged all over the Virginia Tech defense last night to the tune of 4 TD's and a blowout win for Stanford. He is the #1 pick in this years NFL Draft. Also, 2ndnShort picked the game correctly so hopefully you have some extra money in your wallet.
Two very good teams square off tonight as Stanford takes on Virginia Tech. This should be a very good game as both teams are coming off of very good seasons.
The matchup of the night will be between the two QB's. Stanford's Andrew Luck is the best QB in the country and he needs to play well for this Stanford offense to fire on all cylinders. Virginia Tech will look for their signal caller Tyrod Taylor to make a difference in this one through the air and with his feet.
Stanford has won 7 games in a row and VT is unbeaten after starting 0-2.
I think the difference in this game will be Andrew Luck, he is the best QB and I think tonight he solidifies his #1 draft pick status and leads Stanford to the W.
Alright so JUSTIN BLACKMON blew up last night and we went 2-1 with Maryland and OK State winning and Baylor taking the L. 2ndnShort stands at 7-4.
Let's get the betting going
12PM - Army vs Southern Methodist - The reason this game is so early is because nobody cares. SMU's QB Kyle Pardon is having a pretty good year and he should help the Mustangs take this one home.
SMU 21 Army 13
320PM - Kansas State vs Syracuse - This game will be played at Yankee stadium and should be a good one. Both teams had decent years and are evenly matched. I am taking Kansas State because they have Daniel Thomas at RB, and he is a stub. K State pounds the ball to victory in this one.
Kansas State 24 Syracuse 18
640PM - North Carolina vs Tennessee - Down year for Tennessee and decent year for the heels. I think that TJ Yates leads UNC to victory tonight. UNC does have some goes suspended but no big parts. Look for UNC to pull out a close one.
UNC 27 Tennessee 23
10PM - Nebraska vs Washington - Nebraska had a good year and Jake Locker was a huge disappointed. Hopefully Locker can play well tonight and make this one close but I doubt it. Nebraska wins this one big.
Tonight we have three games...let's make some money
ECU vs Maryland - Gotta take Maryland here, ECU lost it's last two games to Rice and Southern Methodist. Not good.
Maryland 38 ECU 28
Baylor vs Illinois - Taking Baylor here, why...Robert Griffin III
Baylor 32 Illinois 27
Oklahoma State vs Arizona - Two solid teams here and this should be the game of the night. Both teams throw A LOT...but Zona does not have JUSTIN BLACKMON
OK State 41 Arizona 33

Forgot to pick some of the games but we are 5-3...SWAG
This could be a surprisingly good contest tonight. Air Force comes in at 8-3 and GT is 6-6. GT is down this year but still running the ball better then any team in the country.
Air Force also runs the ball extremely well. This will be a battle on the ground and I think that Air Force comes out on top in a tight one.
New Orleans is still fighting for a playoff bid, a win would solidify them a spot. A win would also keep them in contention to win the division. Brees is a big game QB. While the Falcons have been quietly one of the best teams in the league, I actually think they lose this game tonight. If not, it will be a very close game. This game should also go over the 49.5 it is set at, so tease that down and take over 43.5.
Points points points...this game has an over under of 75 and we think it will get there. Not a whole lot of defense from either team but no shortage of offense.
Hawaii throws the ball all over the field and will be lead by QB Bryant Moniz. Tulsa's leader is QB G.J. Kinne and he is also a gunslinger.
I think that Hawaii will be able to expose Tulsa's defense and come out with the win in this one.
Another day and another bowl game. Last night we won as Boise State crushed Utah. 2ndnShort is currently 4-1 and looking to RUN our record to 5-1.
BAM taking Navy and Ricky Dobbs. Statistically this game is very even and these teams are very close to each other talent wise. This is a home game for San Diego but apparently there is a huge Naval base there as well so the game should be closer to 50-50 then expected. his should be a great game because these teams play exact opposite styles of football. Navy of course runs the ball all day long with Dobbs and company, and Ryan Lindley airs it out for the Aztecs. Players to watch for the Aztecs are WR's Vincent Brown, DeMarco Sampson and RB Ronnie Hillman.
For Navy you should look out for Ricky Dobbs and FB Alexander Teich.
I think this game comes down to experience and consistency. Navy has the edge in both of these and I think they come out on top of this one. Should be a great game and I expect it to be close the entire way.
He made one...congrats. He was visibly nervous and did drop a pass on a trick play but he made a FG. Always gotta show the special team guys love so big ups.
Last night's game started very slowly, Utah was sticking with BSU and both teams were making a lot of mistakes. But as time went on Boise State started to show their true colors and pulled away from Utah. Final score 26-3.
Boise covered the spread and got the win for us pushing our record to 4-1.
