The Eagles got a lot of help in the last week of the regular season. More than anything else, however, they helped themselves, with a 44-6 win over Dallas that propelled them into this position after all may have seemed lost the week before against Washington. Meanwhile, the Vikings got a one-point win over the Giants, in a game they didn’t necessarily need, since Chicago lost its “must win” game against Houston.
The Dolphins have won nine of their last ten games to complete a ten-game improvement, and did so by bucking a trend and beating the Jets in the regular season finale.

Atlanta Falcons @ Arizona Cardinals (+1.5)
Just a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like the general sentiment was that the Arizona Cardinals were a one-and-done in the playoffs. But now that they are a home underdog to a team that is led by a young quarterback, a lot of people are scratching their heads wondering whether they should take the points with the Cardinals.
Sports betting fans have to respect the Utah Utes. It wasn’t but a few years ago when the Utes had Alex Smith at quarterback and Urban Meyer calling the plays. Smith went to the San Francisco 49’ers and Meyer ended up coaching the Florida Gators. But the Utes have kept movin’ on, as Sam Cooke sang, winning games at a blistering pace.
Why in the world did the Arkansas Razorbacks release Houston Nutt as coach? The man knows what he’s doing. In one season he’s turned the Ole Miss Rebels from one of the least respected teams in the SEC to one of the top four teams in the SEC. Ole Miss actually beat the Florida Gators this season. No other team can say that.

Among the teams they beat to get there were the West Virginia Mountaineers, ranked in the top twenty to start the season, the South Florida Bulls, Rutgers and Pittsburgh.
The Rose Bowl, the granddaddy of them all, features two of the most storied programs in college football history as the Penn State Nittany Lions travel to the Coliseum to take on the USC Trojans.

Penn State was somewhat of a surprise this year going 11 and 1 straight-up and 7-3-1 against the BetUS online betting spread.
