I keep hearing these nut jobs on Fox Sports Radio bellyache because the Cowboys have their second stringers against a "divisional opponent". Of course what those clowns don't mention is they may meet again in the postseason. So why would Dallas want to show all their packages and give a Hall-of-Fame coach Joe Gibbs more to watch on the game film if they meet a third time?

This is Part-5 where the Center of the Handicapping Universe Joe Duffy's GodsTips.com breaks down the statistical comparisons of the bowl games. This report entails games of Jan. 1.
The offensive stats are close.
The numbers give
While Missouri gets 6.1 more first downs per game on 35.4 more yards, Arkansas has the upper hand in the most important category (according to sports betting expert Joe Duffy), getting .3 more yards per play. But it's a battle of differing styles as much as any bowl game.
It's see-saw on defense as well.
On defense, it's the Wolverines who are superior. They allow 4.7 less first downs per game on .5 fewer yards per play. However,
High powered Tech gets 6.1 more first downs per game, 210.8 total yards per game on 2.4 more yards per play. However, the Cavs have the advantage in rushing yards per game by 61.8. The Red Raiders accumulate 2.1 more passing yards per attempt. They also have a commanding superiority in completion percentage by 13.8.
It's pretty close on defense. The Cavs allow 62.7 less rushing yards per game, and 1.0 less rushing yards per attempt. But the Red Raiders permit 14.2 fewer passing yards per game. They have minimal edges as well in passing yards per attempt, passing yards per reception and passing percentage against.
Contrary to what many may believe,
USC allows 3.3 fewer first downs per game on 96.6 fewer total yards per game and 1.1 less yards per play. It's a clean sweep of superiority on defense for Southern Cal giving up 1.3 less passing yards per attempt, 1.4 less passing yards per reception, and a completion percentage against of 4.8 less.
The defensive comparison shows the teams closer than many may think. UGA allows 24.7 fewer yards per game, but

As per usual,
Fantasy football and sports betting players alike, here is the imperative NFL weather and injury information you need before placing your line-up or football bets.
There is a 40 percent chance of rain at kickoff but temperatures are well above freezing.
Conditions see a 30 percent chance of rain at kickoff and may change to thunderstorms as the game progresses. Bucs wideout Joey Galloway will not play.
This time of the year it's a big story when weather conditions is Chicago, Green Bay or other northern cities won't play a major factor. Light wins, no precipitation here and the temperature will be slightly above freezing.
The Saints have had tons of injuries at running back. Already without Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush, now Aaron Stecker is a game time decision.
Much like in Chicago, the fact weather will play little into your sports bets or fantasy football line-ups is a story in and of itself.

There is at least some change of rain, but temperatures are above freezing and winds nominal.

The NY Giants and the New England Patriots begin the final week of the NFL regular season. Every other publication and website can parrot what you already know about the historic ramifications. We will take a look at it from a betting standpoint.

Godsey explains, "We discount 98 percent of trends, but this has proven to be the exception to the rule. Explained in our articles around the Net, basically if a team has a great SU record but horrid ATS record or visa versa, you ride for that to continue as it is the sign of which teams are most under or overvalued."
Perhaps you heard,
The oddsmakers have also caught up to their record shattering offense as
Professional gambler Cy McCormick of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com believes the historic simulcast (we are confident you know the details about that too) does have handicapping ramifications.
"Surely this will be the most watched regular season broadcast ever. (Patriots coach) Bill Belichick is well aware of that. He's been 'making statements' all year and with a captive audience, he has all the incentive in the world to run up the score again."
Oh, there is another team playing in this game (though perhaps you haven't heard that). The Giants have actually been much better on the road. The road team is a stunning 11-4 straight up and 10-5 against the spread in their contests.
In fact, the road team has won seven straight contests involving Big Blue.
