The final bowl game of the year takes place this Monday night, when the BCS Championship Game settles the question of who will end up Number 1 this year between the Ohio State Buckeyes and LSU Tigers. The two-loss LSU Tigers are a 4-point favorite over the one-loss Ohio State Buckeyes at SportsBetting.com.
“I might be the only guy out here who wants to fade LSU,” stated Point-Spreads.com College Football Expert Reno Goldberg when asked to comment on the BCS Championship Game. “If you look at the recent trends (Sugar and Orange), the underdogs are howling in some of these BCS games We were solid with our Kansas call in the Orange Bowl and I think Ohio State +4 has value. Remember…LSU lost to Kentucky and Arkansas and had a couple of close calls during the season”
The general consensus is that the SEC is a better conference overall than the Big 10 (sorry Big 10 lovers but it is true) however, that certainly doesn’t mean the Big 10’s best team can’t beat LSU in this match-up. They can and might. They need a victory here after the spanking they took last year in this game at the hands of the SEC Florida Gators.
