In what used to be a much more action filled day, loaded with college bowl games, there are only 5 games today. I think the sports highlight is the Winter Classic NHL game to be played this year at Fenway Park in Boston.
Boston Bruins (H) vs Philadelphia Flyers (Bruins -135, opened -140)
I am going with the Bruins -135 today. I think they have an advantage in goal with Tim Thomas the 2009 Vezina Trophy winner in net. Philly netminder, Michael Leighton has played great since joining the Flyers from the Carolina Hurricanes winning 4 games in a row, but I see that streak coming to an end. The weather should be ok, which is strange to have to mention for a hockey game.
Captial One Bowl, Citrus Bowl- Orlando, Florida
LSU Tigers vs Penn State Nittany Lions (LSU by 1, opend PSU by 2.5)
I am going with the line move and hope that I’m not jumping on with the public, but I am going with LSU -1. I just think the SEC is far superior to the Big-10 and LSU’s speed and athletes will be the difference.
In the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl I think I would certainly be with the masses picking against the Big-10 (selecting Oregon in the Rose Bowl) and with the SEC (Florida in the Sugar Bowl). I am afraid of both of these games. but I would lean towards Oregon and Florida.
Boston Bruins -135 (2 out of 5)
LSU -1 (2 out of 5)and LSU’s speed
