OT: Titov-Las Vegas! Wk 3: Let’s go bowlin’ now, everybody’s learnin’ how, come on a $afari w/ me!

OK, this is the week – and today’s the day, matter of fact, with 6 games on, 5 of ‘em really good, and 2 likely making up two-thirds of this year’s Best Bowl Games triple. After a 7-2 Week 2, the Titov Express is ready to ‘cap this sucker bigtime – you can almost HEAR the confidence in those dice a-rollin’ and those darts a-thwonkin’, cancha?

Bets are straight-up except for the two PAC 12 games, where the spread rules. Get ‘em.

-->Jan. 2:

Houston (12-1) [-7] v. Penn St. (9-3). The only thing that could change this is a kind of Sympathy for Joe Pa vibe, but I think everybody's beyond that now. COUGS.

Ohio St. (6-6) v. Florida (6-6) [-2]. The day’s only clunker. Too bad one of these teams has to win, since neither oughta be here. GATORS.

Nebraska (9-3) v. South Carolina (10-2)[-2.5]. The Cornholers didn’t have that much fun in the Big Dim and the Gamecranks didn’t realize their SEC ambitions either. Grr! COCKS.

Michigan St. (10-3) v. Georgia (10-3) [-3]. The 300 are crappy at bowls and GA, after a 10-straight run, needs to show its conf-champ game drubbing was undeserved. DOGS.

Wisconsin (11-2) v. Oregon (11-2) [-6]. The Wisc OL averages 323 lbs. So what? So the Big Dim loses again, that’s what, as Thomas and James go nuts. ORYGUN wins/beats

Stanford (11-1) v. Oklahoma St. (11-1) [-4]. A real O/U game, as Taylor runs and Luck – with all 3 TEs finally back – goes crazy. But STA is middling-to-weak at CB; Blackmon will kill ‘em. This will likely go 52-49 or sth, SNODFART w/ the beat.

-->Jan. 3

Michigan (10-2) [-3] v. Virginia Tech (11-2). If Tech hadn’t played Clempson, they’d-a had a perfect season. I coulda bought IBM at 15, too. But the Wolferines are, yep, another too-big Big Dim team. TECH.

--> Jan. 4

West Virginia (9-3) v. Clemson (10-3) [-3]. Big East? Nah. But then Clempson kinda slowed down there at the end. This 3 sounds abt right, I think. Anyway, TIGES.

-->Jan. 6

Kansas St. (10-2) v. Arkansas (10-2) [7.5]. This is prolly the OTHER really good bowl game, and a potential orgy for O/U sluts. Oh, and it’s my Big Bowl flyer: K-STATE.

-->Jan. 7

SMU (7-5) v. Pittsburgh (6-6) [-3]. Another R.U. Kidding Me-morial Bowl, about which no one cares a warm turd. Pitt defines BE mediocrity, but SM somehow beat TCU. Okay, SMU.

-->Jan. 8

Arkansas St. (10-2) v. Northern Illinois (10-3). The Sun Belt is pretty Sansabelt in OOC games but the Mid-A has done some bowlin’ this yr. DOGS over Wolfs.

-->Jan. 9

Alabama (11-1) [-1] v. LSU (13-0). Somehow the Déjà Vu All Over Again Bowl counts for the nat’l champeenship this yr – no WONDER they call that title “mythical.” You’ve already seen this Game of the Century (that’s the century that ran 1958-1959 or so: “great defense” by undersized players and an OFF limited to FGs), and this Xerox will prolly be a little dimmer. But hey, what if somebody scores a “touchdown”?!? Okay, BAMA.
