The Iowa State Cyclones and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane are going to square off on the Liberty Bowl odds and betting lines. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our Liberty Bowl picks & predictions for football for what should be a great game on Monday.

Liberty Bowl Picks: Iowa State Cyclones vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricane
Date: Monday, December 31st, 3:30 ET
Location: Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, Memphis, TN
Liberty Bowl Betting Odds: Iowa State -1
Iowa State vs. Tulsa Live TV: ESPN

This is the only bowl game that results in a rematch from a game that was played earlier in the season. In that game, we learned that the Golden Hurricane just didn’t have the offensive genius to keep it up for a full 60 minutes against the Cyclones. Granted, a heck of a lot has changed with both of these teams since the beginning of the season, but that first outing might be a good indicator of what we can expect in this one. QB Cody Green threw for just 198 yards with two TDs and two picks for Tulsa, while QB Steele Jantz really had his offense moving and picked up 441 total yards as a team for Iowa State. Since that point, Jantz has been benched in favor of first QB Jared Barnett, then QB Sam Richardson.

The Cyclones got a good look at the sometimes gimmicky offense that the Golden Hurricane are running, but Tulsa never did get a look at Richardson. That could be a key in this one, knowing that Richardson is a much better dual threat than Jantz was at the time. Richardson threw for 412 yards and seven TDs without tossing a pick, and he rushed for 187 yards and a TD in limited action at the end of the season. The Golden Hurricane also had troubles defending WR Josh Lenz, who led the team in receiving this year with 430 yards and six scores. Iowa State didn’t have a single rusher have more than 504 yards or a receiver with more than 430 yards, but the offense still mustered a relatively solid 25.2 points per game.

The real question here is whether Tulsa really has learned anything since going to Ames and getting rocked. The answer? We really don’t think so. Sure, winning Conference USA was great, but Tulsa’s only truly notable wins this year were against Fresno State (by 1 point), Rice (by 4 points), and UCF twice (by 2 and 6 points). Though the ground game for the Golden Hurricane is great, we think that having the extra time to prepare for this game has gone a long way for the Cyclones, and they’ll notch their second triumph of the year over an overrated Tulsa outfit.

I’ve been studying the ‘total’ for the Music City Bowl odds for quite some time, and I’m ready to make my Music City Bowl picks for the clash between the Vanderbilt Commodores and the NC State Wolfpack. The NC State vs. Vanderbilt kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. ET at LP Field, and I’m going to show you which way to bet on college football to make your CFB pick on for this great game.

2012 Music City Bowl
NC State Wolfpack (7-5, 5-6-1 ATS) +7
Vanderbilt Commodores (8-4, 8-4 ATS) -7
Over/Under 51.5

There are a few factors that I’m going to point out in this one that you probably aren’t going to see in most handicapping reports. The first is that this is going to be the second straight day that a game is played on the surface at LP Field. The Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars, two teams that love to grind it out in hardnosed games are going to be battling here on Sunday, and the turnaround time for the grounds crew isn’t all that long for a 12:00 kickoff one day later. The other factor is that it is going to be darn right cold for this game, as the sun is expected to stay in, and temperatures are going to likely be the high-30s or so in what should amount to be a dreary day. These two teams aren’t used to playing in these conditions, though at least it won’t be windy and rainy as well.

The matchup that I’ll be watching closely is the one between the NC State passing attack and the Vandy secondary. It is no secret that QB Mike Glennon has to put the ball in the air, as he had a rushing game that ranked just 108th in the nation at 116.9 yards per game. Glennon did throw for over 3,600 yards on the season, but the Commodores, facing SEC offenses, allowed just 175.8 yards per game and were stellar all year long. Glennon also gets flustered at times when he has to play out of his comfort zone, and when it rains, it tends to pour. The senior threw seven of his 14 INTs this year in just two games.

On top of that, the Commodores make no bones about the fact that they want to run the ball. This team averaged running the ball just over 39 times per game, as opposed to throwing it 26.8 times per game. In case you’re counting, that’s not even 70 snaps per game offensively either in totality, and that’s because the Commodores prefer to just run the clock and keep games short. It is a formula that has worked all year long, and there is no reason that it won’t work like this again. This should be a low scorer of a bowl game in Nashville.

The Chick-Fil-A Bowl is one of the great games of the season on the 2012 bowl schedule, and today, we are making our LSU vs. Clemson picks and predictions and trying to beat the Chick-Fil-A Bowl odds here at Cappers Info.

Chick-Fil-A Bowl Picks: LSU Tigers vs. Clemson Tigers
Date: Saturday, December 31st, 7:30 ET
Location: Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GA
Chick-Fil-A Bowl Betting Odds: LSU -6
LSU vs. Clemson Live TV Coverage: ESPN

The last game of the calendar year kicks off on New Year’s Eve, and it’s going to be quite the Tiger Tale. This is actually the second time this year that Clemson has taken on some Tigers from the SEC, and it disposed of the Auburn Tigers in the opening game of the year. That being said, few knew that that victory wouldn’t look so good at the end of the campaign. LSU probably has the problem with motivation in this game. The team could have been in the Sugar Bowl had the Florida Gators lost their final regular season game of the year against the Florida State Seminoles, but instead, a 10-2 team that will likely finish the year ranked in the Top 5 in America is stuck playing here in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl before New Year’s Day.

Here’s the problem with backing the ACC reps, though. The orange and purple clad Tigers really didn’t beat anyone all season long. They were smacked by the Florida State Seminoles on the road, and were dominated defensively by the South Carolina Gamecocks at home. Aside from that, there were a bunch of wins against a bunch of nobodies, and that seven-point win over Auburn in this building, as we already said, doesn’t really look all that spectacular. Remember last year as well, that Clemson was crushed by the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Orange Bowl and were handled by 21 by the Gamecocks in Columbia. This isn’t a team that is suited to play in the big time games, and that really goes without saying.

As long as LSU wants to be in this game, it will do well. The Bayou Bengals are 9-1 here at the Chick-Fil-A Bowl all-time, and they were clearly the better of these two teams this year. The SEC is likely going to dominate once again in bowl games this year, and we have already seen some teams from the ACC fall flat and either lose games badly (Duke) or win games that should have been lost (Virginia Tech). Look for the defense for Head Coach Les Miles to come out and get some payback for last year’s loss in the BCS National Championship Game. This shouldn’t be a game that ends up being all that close when push comes to shove.

LSU vs. Clemson Pick: LSU Tigers -6
Chick-Fil-A Bowl Score Prediction: LSU 30 – Clemson 17

To beat the Music City Bowl odds, you have to put a heck of a lot of work into the game. Our college football expert handicappers have done just that here at Cappers Info, and we think that we have the winning edge for the clash between the NC State Wolfpack vs. Vanderbilt Commodores.

Music City Bowl Picks: NC State Wolfpack vs. Vanderbilt Commodores
Date: Monday, December 31st, 12:00 ET
Location: LP Field, Nashville, TN
Music City Bowl Betting Odds: Vanderbilt -7
NC State vs. Vanderbilt Live TV Coverage: ESPN

We’ve got to be a little careful with the Music City Bowl, knowing that this is a game that features a real home field advantage for the Commodores, playing not all that far away from their campus. NC State is coming into this game without a head coach, as Tom O’Brien was unceremoniously dismissed immediately after a seemingly relatively successful 7-5 season was finished off. Of course, this is a team that has played terrible ball on the road during the entire tenure of O’Brien, so perhaps that might be for the better in terms of the expectations in this game.

We just don’t think that QB Mike Glennon is going to be able to get the ball moving against this defense. Glennon did throw for 3,648 yards and 30 TDs this season, but he was just all over the place this year and was wildly inconsistent. He threw for 493 yards and five TDs against the Clemson Tigers and 440 yards and four TDs against the Miami Hurricanes, but he also put up just 197 yards with three picks against the Virginia Cavaliers and 288 yards with four INTs against the Tennessee Volunteers. Now comes a Vandy defense that might have the best secondary that he has faced all season long, as this unit ranked ninth in America against the pass at 175.8 yards per game.

Head Coach James Franklin knows that this is a tremendously important game to win for the growth of his program. He has the quarterback to get the job done in QB Jordan Rodgers, and he has both a 1,000-yard back in RB Zac Stacy and a 1,000+ yard receiver in WR Jordan Matthews that can move the ball up and down the field when push comes to shove. There’s just too much here for the Commodores. We hate laying more than a few points in these bowl games, as we do think that the underdogs normally are the ones that have a lot of value attached to them, but in this case, we just don’t see how NC State is going to be able to get off of the mat against a very underrated SEC outfit.

5Dimes SportsbookMy 2012 Chick-Fil-A Bowl picks between the Clemson Tigers and the LSU Tigers are all set and ready to go here at Cappers Info. The Chick-Fil-A Bowl kickoff starts at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA, and I’m going to be your expert college football handicapper that points you towards the winning bet for the Clemson vs. LSU game.

2012 Chick-Fil-A Bowl
LSU Tigers (10-2, 5-7 ATS) -6
Clemson Tigers (10-2, 8-4 ATS) +6
Over/Under 59

If you just blindly look at the Bayou Bengals, you have to think that this game should easily stay beneath a ‘total’ of 59. The last time that a ‘total’ was this high in an LSU game was back in 2008 against the North Texas Mean Green, and that came in a game where the Tigers were favored by 42 points against a team with an exciting offense. However, there are definitely some things that I really don’t like about LSU right now. I don’t like the fact that P Brad Wing has been suspended for this one, and that really could give the Clemson offense the upper hand in certain situations.

Of course, one look at Clemson, and this is a game that should get beyond the number quite easily. The Tigers played to 110 points against the NC State Wolfpack, and they put up an average of 46.5 points per game this year against teams outside of the SEC. Of course, the team also only put up a total of 43 points in two games against SEC teams. QB Tajh Boyd threw for 3,550 yards and 34 TDs, and he rushed for 492 yards and nine scores. RB Andre Ellington was one of the top rushers in the ACC with 1,034 yards and eight trips to the end zone, while the team’s top two receivers, WR DeAndre Hopkins and WR Sammy Watkins, totaled just under 2,000 yards. Hopkins, the ACC all-time leader in receiving yards in a career, had 16 touchdowns as well.

5Dimes

And then there’s the tiebreaker: Last year’s bowl game. Clemson gave up 70 points to the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Orange Bowl, and it was blown out of the water. LSU is clearly going to be smarting after getting shut out last year in the BCS National Championship Game, and it is going to want to prove to the rest of the world that it has a team that can contend for all of the marbles once again next year. I think that QB Zach Mettenberger can put up some respectable numbers in this game, and the end result is going to push this one beyond the number.

LSU vs. Clemson Picks & Tips: Over 59

The 2012 Sun Bowl picks are set to go here at Cappers Info, and we are ready to make our free bowl picks for all of the games on the schedule. Check out the USC vs. Georgia Tech picks and predictions for what should be a remarkable game.

Sun Bowl Picks: USC Trojans vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Date: Monday, December 31st, 2:00 ET
Location: Sun Bowl Stadium, El Paso, TX
Sun Bowl Betting Odds: USC -7.5
USC vs. Georgia Tech Live TV Coverage: CBS

Just taking one look at the talent for talent that is going to be on the field for this game on New Year’s Eve shows that the Men of Troy should ultimately dominate against the Ramblin’ Wreck. There are a few questions that really have to be asked, though. The first is whether the Trojans really give a damn about this game or not. They finished out the year with losses in four of their final five games of the campaign, they were outmatched by a number of teams in the Pac-12 that they are usually better than, and they ended up losing two games at home by two scores apiece. Now, they’re coming to the Sun Bowl in a year in which they were favored to win the Pac-12 and were once the No. 1 team in America.

Worse for USC is that QB Matt Barkley’s career is over. A disappointing senior season will be forgotten in the history books for sure for Barkley on his road to the NFL, but it might also signal a slightly earlier start than expected to the career of QB Max Wittek. The frosh did everything that he could against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the first start of his career, but in the end, he went just 14-of-23 for 186 yards with a TD and two picks, and he showed no comprehension of the no huddle offense. RB Silas Redd and RB Curtis McNeal were both relatively quiet, and though WR Robert Woods did score a TD, the fact of the matter is that he and WR Marqise Lee combined for just 12 catches and 167 yards.

Georgia Tech might have finished out the year below .500, but it is still a pain in the neck team to try to prepare for. The triple option is stingy, and the offensive line cut blocks a million times per game, something that really can slow down a very talented from seven for the Trojans. Remember that the Jackets did test the Florida State Seminoles all the way down to the wire in the ACC Championship Game, and the only game in which they really looked bad in the last month of the season was against the Georgia Bulldogs, and there was no shame in that loss. Don’t be shocked if this turns out to be a very close game if the Trojans just don’t show any heart.

USC vs. Georgia Tech Pick: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +10.5
Sun Bowl Score Prediction: Georgia Tech 27 – USC 20

BovadaThe Iowa State Cyclones and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane are set to kick off the 2012 Liberty Bowl on Monday 12/31, and I’m set to make my Liberty Bowl pick for the affair at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis, TN. Kickoff is set for 3:30 ET, and I’ve got the perfect NCAA football pick for the Liberty Bowl.

2012 Liberty Bowl
Iowa State Cyclones (6-6, 5-6-1 ATS) -1
Tulsa Golden Hurricane (10-3, 7-5 ATS) +1
Over/Under 51

When these two teams met the first time around, the over/under was just 50.5 points, and the game got to 61. In that game, Tulsa only rushed for 160 yards as a team, and Iowa State was still using the lousy QB Steele Jantz under center. Why then, have the oddsmakers only moved this ‘total’ up a half point? It just doesn’t make all that much sense to me.

Iowa State’s offense is underrated with QB Sam Richardson calling the shots. He has a great football IQ, and he knows when to take off and run with the football. In the games that he quarterbacked this year, the Cyclones put up 75 points combined against the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Kansas Jayhawks. Granted, those two teams don’t have the greatest defenses in the world, but it’s not like Tulsa is a defensive world beater either. The Cyclones have also struggled defensively, allowing at least 21 points in nine straight games and averaging conceding 27.6 points per game in that stretch.

And then there is the crazy Golden Hurricane. This team can really fly around the field when given the chance to do so, as we saw in the final four games of the season when the team outgained its foes by an average of 217.0 yards per game. RB Alex Singleton rushed for 21 TDs, and each of RB Trey Watts, RB Ja’Terian Douglas, and RB Alex Singleton averaged calling the ball at least 10 times per game. The three each had at least 765 yards on the ground, and they combined for almost 2,600 yards in 13 games. It is clear that WR Keyarris Garrett could be a factor as well after he caught 64 passes for 826 yards and nine TDs. There are just too many offensive weapons here for the Golden Hurricane to be held under 28 points, and if that turns out to be the case, there is no reason to think that the Liberty Bowl won’t get past the ‘total’.

The Sun Bowl is one of the games on the college football bowl schedule this year, and today, I’m set to make my NCAA football pointspread picks for the ‘total’ in this clash. The USC Trojans and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are going to do battle at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, TX. Join me for my Sun Bowl tips for this 2:00 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on CBS.

I’ve got a tough time backing the under in a Georgia Tech game, knowing just how bad this team has been defensively at the ends of games this year. The Ramblin’ Wreck are just insanely thin, and regardless of who the defensive coordinator has been for this team, they have failed to rotate players in and out of the fold because the starting eleven are generally a heck of a lot better than anything that is waiting in the wings behind them. That being said, just about everything else in this game point towards it being a lower scoring affair.

2012 Sun Bowl
USC Trojans (7-5, 3-9 ATS) -7.5
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (6-7, 8-5 ATS) -2.5
Over/Under 64.5

QB Matt Barkley is out of the fold in this one, and that’s going to leave QB Max Wittek to make his second career start. At least this one will be easier than his first start, which came against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but that doesn’t mean that he is ready to really take advantage of all of the weapons that this offense has at its disposal. I’m shocked that the ‘total’ didn’t drop at all in this game, as Wittek clearly isn’t nearly as good as Barkley is, and this is going to likely decrease USC’s point production by a dead minimum of a touchdown in this game.

And then of course, there is the triple option offense. The Yellow Jackets are going to run the heck out of the football, and odds have it, it is going to become awfully frustrating for the Trojans. The clock could really just melt away in the second half of this game if G-Tech is ahead in this one, as I think there is a distinct possibility of happening. If the Jackets aren’t ahead, they probably are having one of these games where they are going to account for 250 yards or so for the game. Either way that I slice this one, it’s all coming up ‘under’ in a game that should absolutely be lined nowhere near the 60s in my eyes.

USC vs. Georgia Tech Picks & Tips: Under 64.5

Making sports betting picks is one of my specialties, and today at Cappers Info, I’m making my Sunday Football Tipster pick based upon the football trends and NFL odds for the St. Louis Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks game on Sunday, December 30th at CenturyLink Field at 4:25 p.m. ET.

St. Louis Rams (7-7-1, 10-5 ATS) +11
Seattle Seahawks (10-5, 11-4 ATS) -11
Over/Under 42

Six of the last nine games that the Rams have played have gone beyond the ‘total’, many of which easily got there. Granted, I know that four of those ‘over’ games got there that were listed in the mid- to high-30s, and this one is in the low-40s. Remember too, that the Seattle offense has put up 150 points over the course of the last three games. There’s no way that I can expect 50 points to get on the board in this one, but to ask for 24 doesn’t seem to be out of the question, especially with the way that St. Louis has struggled against the run at times.

With the ‘over’ established, I need another play for my teaser, and I think that playing the Rams is the better of the two sides. There’s a decent chance that the 49ers could be blowing away the Cardinals when push comes to shove, and if that turns out to be the case, Head Coach Pete Carroll might ultimately be sitting down some of his players. QB Russell Wilson has to get ready for his first playoff game next week, and there won’t be anywhere to go if San Fran wins at The Stick in a game running concurrently.

On top of that, Seattle is just overrated right now. The team is a lot better now than it was a month ago, but these last three wins have been ridiculous and it has to stop. The Rams are a reasonable team that will fight to the death regardless of what the score of the game is. It’s tough to get beaten by 17+ points in this league, especially when you’re talking about a team that competed for a playoff spot this year.

NFL betting fans are running to their online sportsbooks to place their Oakland Raiders vs. San Diego Chargers bets and predictions, and here at Cappers Info, we are making our Sunday football picks for this encounter.

Week 17 Football Picks: Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers
Date: Sunday, December 30th, 4:25 ET
Location: Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, CA
NFL Betting Lines: San Diego -10
Raiders vs. Chargers On TV: CBS

QB Terrelle Pryor is going to be getting his first career start in this one, and we’re going to take the words of Head Coach Dennis Allen to tell us how we’re going to be playing this one. “We don’t feel like [Pryor] is ready to be the backup quarterback.” Ok, coach, explain this one to us, then. If Pryor isn’t ready to be the backup, what makes you think that he is ready to be the starter? The Raiders have packed it in and did so a long time ago, while the Bolts have played well down the stretch of the season for the sixth straight year for the outgoing Head Coach Norv Turner. The Chargers are actually 20-3 in their 23 games played thus far in the last quarter of the season under Turner’s direction, and in spite of the fact that the road team has won and covered four straight in this series, there is no reason to think that this game is going to be even remotely close. Look for another San Diego blowout with another big time defensive performance.

Raiders @ Chargers Pick: San Diego Chargers -10
Oakland @ San Diego Score Prediction: San Diego 30 – Oakland 10

BovadaThe Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings are set to kick off their Week 17 NFL betting clash on Sunday 12/30, and I’m set to make my football pick for the affair at Mall of America Field at the HHH Metrodome. Kickoff is set for 4:25 ET, and I’ve got the perfect NFL pick for this outstanding duel on the gridiron.

Green Bay Packers (11-4, 9-6 ATS) -3
Minnesota Vikings (9-6, 7-7-1 ATS) +3
Over/Under 45.5

I’m a bit puzzled as to why this ‘total’ has gotten so much publicity. This isn’t going to be the highest scoring game in the world, yet the number that is posted is in the mid-40s as if a team like the New Orleans Saints were playing in this one.

There’s no doubt whatsoever that the Vikings are going to be running the ball and running it a ton with RB Adrian Peterson. Peterson had a few big time runs when these two teams met the first time a few weeks ago, but in the end, the team only put up 14 points in spite of the fact that he had over 200 total rushing yards on the day. Remember too, that the Vikes only scored 23 last week against the Houston Texans, and it’s likely going to take at least that many to get this one to the ‘total’ in all likelihood.

And one final thought about this ‘under’… The Packers have allowed 18.2 points per game over the course of their last nine games, and they have played five of their last six beneath the ‘total’. There’s just no reason to think that this one is going to get to the mid-40s, and in the end, I expect that this is going to be a low scoring game that has the feel of a postseason clash with a ton on the line.

Packers @ Vikings Tips: Under 45.5

The Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers are going to square off in Week 17 of the NFL betting campaign. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our predictions for football for what should be a great game on Sunday.

Week 17 NFL Picks: Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers
Date: Sunday, December 30th, 4:25 ET
Location: Candlestick Park, San Francisco, CA
Week 17 Betting Odds: San Francisco -16.5
Cardinals vs. 49ers Live TV: FOX

Dare we lay 16.5 with the 49ers in this game? Of course we will! When these two teams met in the desert in October when QB John Skelton calling the shots, the 49ers won 24-3. Now, we have seen Arizona go through both Skelton and QB Ryan Lindley, and the tide turns over to QB Brian Hoyer for his first career start. Arizona’s offense just hasn’t been able to get out of its own way for the most part, and there is no reason to think that Hoyer is going to be able to do any better on the road in a game that means oh so much to the 49ers. San Francisco has to have this game if it wants to have a chance at the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and more importantly if it wants to win the NFC West and avoid having to go on the road in the first round of the playoffs. The defense allowed 76 points over the course of the last two games, and that just isn’t going to continue when push comes to shove. Go with the 49ers and lay the points for sure in a game that should never be close.

Cardinals @ 49ers Pick: San Francisco 49ers -16.5
Cardinals @ 49ers Score Prediction: San Francisco 24 – Arizona 3
