    Analysis

    The New York Rangers are a mess; there's no other way to say it right now. They've struggled to score goals all year and now are being plagued by injuries to two of their best players in Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox. In my opinion the betting market hasn't caught up to proper pricing on them yet and I expect this number to be on the move by gameday. I'm closer to the Sabres -127 and it's why I'd like to get ahead of it in the overnight market and just hope we can avoid a Colten Ellis start in the Sabres crease

    Analysis

    Vancouver was good to us Tuesday in Buffalo, losing for the fourth straight game and sixth time in the past seven. And the Canucks have much bigger games up next in their only visits to Toronto and Montreal. Detroit rolled 4-0 in Vancouver on Dec. 8 behind a shutout from John Gibson -- his first in nearly three years. And the Canucks still had star defenseman Quinn Hughes then. They gave up on this season not long after by trading him to Minnesota. Wings coach Todd McLellan made a few line changes Monday, and Detroit responded with five goals in an easy win over Ottawa.

    Analysis

    Ole Miss battled Georgia, with both teams exceeding 70 plays—a significant amount of time on the field for both units. The schedule did the Rebels no favors by scheduling this game for Thursday instead of Friday. Miami has advantages in point differential, third-down defense, red zone offense and defense, run defense, opponent passer rating, net yards per pass defense, and sack differential. Against fellow bowl opponents, the Hurricanes hold the edge in net yards per play, net yards per rush, net yards per pass, and net yards per point on both offense and defense. Miami controlled the line of scrimmage vs Ohio State; this is repeatable against Ole Miss. If you find -2.5 at -115 or better, consider making it a 1-unit play.

    Analysis

    Thanks to my cohort Jeff Hochman for alerting me these lines became active. I went and looked earlier and they weren't. I would probably root for Ole Miss in almost any other circumstance with all those players have dealt with and now some assistants might have to leave for LSU during the playoff!? That ain't right man. And I think Lane Kiffin keeps getting bonuses with their wins. So wrong. Obviously biased but Ole Miss is not as good as Ohio State or probably Texas A&M and the U handled both. I wish the Bears could get Rueben Bain Jr. as that dude is a wrecking ball. Although Michael Irvin needs to tone it down a notch on the sidelines. Take a Xanax.

    MIAMI -3.5
    -105
    Spread
    Picked: Jan 5 @ 11:35am

    Analysis

    As someone with annual Fiesta Bowl tickets, I was thrilled at the possibility of an Ohio State-Georgia semifinal game on Thursday night. But Miami’s domination of the line of scrimmage against the Buckeyes and Trinidad Chambliss’ theatrics vs. the Bulldogs changed that. This game should be a barn burner regardless, but I lean towards the Hurricanes for two reasons: Their physicality against Texas A&M and Ohio State was superior, plus the continuing uncertainty around the Rebels’ coaching staff can be a distraction. Interesting streaks on the line here: Ole Miss has scored 30+ points in eight straight games, while Miami hasn’t allowed more than 24 points in regulation all season. Give me the Hurricanes, 28-21.
