Chick-Fil-A Bowl Picks – LSU vs. Georgia Tech – Who Covers The Spread
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008FiveStarPick.com is on a 10-5 ATS run this week for its members and looks to add a few more W’s to the win column today. The focus of this preview is the Chick-Fil-A bowl which features the former National and SEC Champion LSU Tigers against a surging ACC running machine in Georgia Tech. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Yellow Jackets as 5-point favorites with the total set at 52.5.
Georgia Tech (9-3 straight up, 7-2-1 against the spread) showed the SEC what the triple option was all about as they gained 409 rushing yards and came from behind to beat Georgia 45-42. Then went down south and pounced on Miami.
LSU (7-5 SU, 2-9 ATS), on the other hand, has lost back-to-back games, three of its last four and five of its last eight. Even worse, the Tigers have burned up the pockets of their backers with six consecutive ATS defeats. The Tigers were handed a 31-30 loss at Arkansas as 7-point favorites; and their defense has looked terrible. LSU gave up a last-second game-winning score to the Razorbacks on the second fourth-down conversion of that drive. In addition, the unit has surrendered 31 points in each of the last three games.
LSU’s offense was somewhat productive with true freshman quarterback Jordon Jefferson running the show against the Hogs. Jefferson, who will get the starting nod against Ga. Tech, ran for 57 yards and threw for 143 at Arkansas.
So who covers the spread in tonight’s game? FiveStarPick.com is here to help. Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner. Here is a bit of advice…NOTHING is guaranteed when you are betting on sports. These so called “handicappers” call 500 people a day and give them all a free play; 250 people will get LSU+5 and 250 will get Ga Tech -5. After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars to their credit cards for more guaranteed winners.
