Atlanta Falcons vs. Arizona Cardinals 4:30 ET

Not many forecasted this to be a Wild Card match-up at the beginning of the NFL betting season.

The Falcons broke even for NFL bettors on the road this season by compiling a 4-4 ATS mark while Arizona produced a decent return posting a 5-3 home ATS record.

Ravens vs. Dolphins 2009 Wild Card Preview

Baltimore Ravens vs. Miami Dolphins 1:00 ET

The Baltimore Ravens (11-5, 12-3-1 ATS) will look to keep its Super Bowl dreams intact as it visits sunny Miami for the second time this season to do battle with fiery head coach Tony Sparano’s Dolphins (11-5, 8-8 ATS); kick-off is slated for 1:00 ET and the NFL Playoff betting affair can be seen nationally on NBC. The Ravens were one of the best money-makers on the road this season after cashing ATS in 6 of their 8 games, while Miami struggled to cover the pointspread at home going a very poor 2-6 ATS.

Hawkeyes vs. Gamecocks Preview/Pick: Outback Bowl

Outback Bowl Iowa Hawkeyes vs. South Carolina Gamecocks

It’s interesting that both of these teams, which have recognizable names in college football, went 6-6 last season, yet did not go to a bowl game. With additional post-season contests this season, that hardly seems like something that is possible.  

BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: IOWA -4, Total 43

Tigers vs. Yellow Jackets Preview/Pick: Chick-Fil-A Bowl

Chick-Fil-A Bowl LSU vs Georgia Tech

LSU did not fare well in the second half of the season, losing 52-38 to Georgia on 31-13 to Ole Miss, along with more competitive defeats suffered at the hands of Alabama and Arkansas.

Eagles vs. Commodores Preview/Pick: Music City Bowl

Music City Bowl Boston College vs Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt is in a winter wonderland, going to its first bowl game in 26 years, seeking its first post-season win since 1955, and at home no less. The Commodores had even higher hopes than their own hometown Music City Bowl when they got off to a 5-0 start, but they went just 1-6 beyond that. One of the reasons was that the offensive faucet got completely turned off.

Beavers vs. Panthers Preview/Pick: Sun Bowl

Sun Bowl Oregon State Beavers vs. Pittsburgh Panthers

LeSean McCoy rushed for more yards this season than he did in his terrific freshman year. McCoy gained 1403 yards (scoring 21 TD’s) and really got going toward the middle of the season. He did cool down a bit toward the end, with 39 yards against Louisville, 82 against Cincinnati and 95 against Connecticut. He is, nonetheless, the foremost offensive weapon on this field.
