Florida vs. Alabama – SEC Championship Picks Against The Spread

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Its Championship Saturday and the pros at FiveStarPick.com are pumped about today’s SEC Championship game between the #1 Ranked Florida Gators and the #2 Ranked Alabama Crimson Tide.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Gators as 5.5-point favorites with at total of 43.

Alabama (12-0 SU, 7-5 ATS) is fresh off a 26-21 road win at Auburn as 10-point favorites. The Tide were looking like they were going to go down, but somehow rallied and took the lead in the final minute on QB Greg McElroy’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Roy Upchurch.  Heisman candidate Mark Ingram definately hurt his chances for the award with a 30 yard performance on 16 carries.  McElroy, on the other hand, showed some confidence completing 21-of-31 passes for 218 yards and 2 TDs.

McElroy had never started a game until this year and played great at the beginning of this season. Then against Tennessee, Ole Miss and LSU, McElroy started looking like a rookie.  Having said that, Nick Saban’s Tide continue to find ways to get the ‘W’. Since then, McElroy has thrown five TD passes with no interceptions.

Florida (12-0 straight up, 6-5 against the spread) has a ”semi-good” quarterback with a Heisman Trophy and a pair of national titles.  Last week in The Swamp Tim Tebow connected on 17-of-21 passes for 214 yards, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. By the way, he also rushed 15 times for 90 yards and 2 more TDs.

The Gators embarrased FSU, 37-10, as 25-point home favorites. Urban Meyer didn’t want to run up the score on legendary coach Bobby Bowden, so he pulled his starters late in the 3rd quarter and still took them to the wood shed.

On a side-bar…UF lost Junior All-American DE Carlos Dunlap after he was arrested Tuesday morning for DUI. Meyer says he is out for today’s game, but might re-instate him for the National Title Game should he prove his worth over the next few weeks. Dunlap was named the Defensive MVP of last year’s win over Oklahoma in the BCS Championship Game and he lead the SEC in sacks in 2008.  Needless to say he will be sorely missed.

Florida vs. Georgia – Winning College Football Picks Against The Spread

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

The pros at FiveStarPick.com are back in action today as we give our members the winner of “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.”  The Georgia Bulldogs will travel to Jacksonville to take on the #1 Ranked Florida Gators and Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Gators as 15.5-point favorites with at total of 49.5.

This year Florida (7-0 SU, 2-3 ATS) will try to hold on to their #1 spot and work toward another National Championship, while Georgia (4-3 SU, 2-5 ATS) would love nothing more than to be spoilers in this spot.  A victory for Urban Meyer would lock up a spot in the SEC Championship, his third in the last four seasons.  However, the Gators offense hasn’t been clicking like the 2008 squad, so opposing defenses have been getting a steady dose of Tim Tebow.  The defense is coming off a performance of four sacks and three interceptions against Mississippi State. Florida has won three of the last four meetings between these two teams (2-2 against the spread), including a 49-10 blowout win last year to avenge the 2007 team Georgia end zone dance.

Arkansas @ Florida – Winning College Football Picks Against The Spread

Friday, October 16th, 2009

The pros at FiveStarPick.com are coming off another great win last night as Pitt covered the 6-point spread on the road at Rutgers. That makes it a cool 12-1 against the spread in our last 13. Today should be no different as we give our members new winners in three (3) lined affairs.  The focus of this preview is the 3:30pm game on CBS where the top-ranked Florida Gators(5-0 SU, 2-1 Against The Spread) take on the Arkansas Razorbacks (3-2 SU, 2-2 Against The Spread).  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Gators as 25-point home favorites with a total of 58.

With or without QB Tim Tebow, Florida has dominated the Razorbacks in this series. UF has won and covered their last seven in a row against Arkansas and by big margins. Last year, the Gators beat Arkansas 38-7 as 26 ½-point road favorites and this season, the Gators own the best defense in the country (202 YPG, 6.4 PPG).

But if there is a team that might challenge the #1 team in the country, then this year’s Arkansas Razorbacks might be the team.  The Hogs are putting up staggering numbers averaging 451 YPG and 37 PPG on the season. The only game they have struggled with was at Alabama, losing 35-7.  Florida is 11-3 Against The Spread as home favorites in their last three seasons.
