Closing Line: -5 Alabama                                                Total: 57 1/2
Notes: These 2 teams have played at some point in the College playoff in 3 straight years.  Alabama is 2-1 straight up,  Clemson is 2-1 Against the Spread and the over is 2-1.  Galloway (TE), Lawrence (DT) and Giella (OL) will remain suspended for Clemson for the national championship.  The defence for Clemson was on display against Notre Dame in the semi-final, holding the Irish to just 3 points. 
Play: Under 59 1/2 -110 (1.1u to win 1) L
These defenses are playing at an elite level.  Both are capable of shutting down the opposition.

Play: Notre Dame +12 1/2 -110 (1.1u to win 1) L
Clemson wants you to believe that the PED suspensions are not a distraction, but that is a lie.  As they are under the microscope, Notre Dame has quietly been preparing for 5 weeks.  I expect the Irish to scheme on defence to slow down the Tiger offense and keep the game within striking distance.
Final: Clemson 30 Notre Dame 3

Notes: N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona St will sit out. Fresno St won the Mountain West conference with a big 19-16 win in Boise St in the conference championship.  Arizona St were 2-4 on the road.
Play (12/12): Fresno St -4 1/2 -110 (1.1u to win 1)
Fresno St played Boise St twice in 2 weeks, both times in Boise St.  They played some of their best football down the stretch to get into a bowl game.  The Sun Devils won just 5 PAC-12 conference games, but managed to be bowl eligible because only 4 of the 12 PAC 12 teams managed to win 6 conference games.  The Bulldogs had one of the better defences in the nation, allowing just over 13 points a game.  A bowl victory would complete what has thus far been a successful season for Fresno St.  It’s hard to find motivation on the other side for Arizona St.

Plays (12/17): Northern Illinois +2 1/2 -110 (1.1u to win 1) Northern Illinois ML +120 (0.83u to win 1).
The Huskies saved their best game for last, coming  back to against Buffalo in the Mid American conference championship.  Marcus Childers threw for 4 touchdown passes in the game.  This will be his second bowl game of his career, he started last year in the Quick Lane Bowl vs Duke where he was 15-26/234/1/0.  The Huskies lost 36-14.  I look for the Sophomore to build on this experience and help guide the Huskies to not only cover but win.  UAB has really grown their program from the bottom up the last few years, from 1 scholarship player in 2015, to almost 80 scholarship offers in 2018.  They are progressing nicely, but being here is even a surprised to them.  They beat Middle Tenn as an underdog in the Conference USA championship.  10 wins is a successful season but thats as most as they will get in 2018.

As the windy weather is supposed to play havoc at game time, I’ll take the Golden Panthers to keep this within a one score game.  FIU has showed this year they can run the ball, averaging 170 yards on the ground a game.  The will need to control the line of scrimmage in conditions such as these.

Play: Western Michigan +12 1/2 -110 (1.1u to win 1) LOST
Just too many points here.  Freshman QB Kaleb Eleby will look to build off his first win as a starter last game.  The Broncos beat Northern Illinois where Eleby threw for 285 and no interceptions. The rookie QB has been able to minimize his turnovers, with only 2 picks in 4 games this season. He’s comfortable in the system and will look to keep the Broncos within striking distance.

I wish i could have got Syracuse before Grier was sitting out, on the other hand, i probably would have taken the over if that was the case.  Even with a month to practise and simulate game play, it’s not the same.  It’s a tall task for Jack Allison to be expected to move the offense to keep up with the orange.  The value is gone with the Orange at the current price.  I’ll take the under.

Notes: Comes as no surprise Bryce Love RB, Stanford is sitting out.  Pitt limps into this game with 2 ugly loses.  42-10 to Clemson in the ACC championship and 24-3 to Miami the week before.
Play: Under 52 -110 (1.1u to win 1) W
I’m not convinced that either offense will get going in this game.  The list of Cardinals out for this game, seems to grow by the day.  A number like 52 usually needs 6 touchdowns.

Play: -2 Oregon -110 (1.1u to win 1) L
I have zero faith that the Spartans can score.  Their defence is one of the best in the nation,  but it might only take the Ducks 2 touchdowns to cover this spread.

Plays

This has a very win one for the gipper feel. This game will be played wide open and the Huskies should find their offense against a weak Buckeys run defense.

Over 58 -110 (1.1u to win 1) L
This is a major disappointment for Georgia being in this game.  Without a doubt the best 2 loss team in the nation.  It was impossible for the committee to put them ahead of an undefeated Irish team and a one loss Oklahoma team.  Now the Bulldogs must find the motivation to play in the Sugar Bowl.  To ask them to cover a 12 point spread is a mighty ask.
