Weekly Wager: BCS Championship

For the season, Weekly Wager is 35-27-3. 9-10-1 on college games, 26-17-2 in NFL. With that said, see below for our final college football pick of the season:

BCS Championship: Alabama @ LSU (+2.5) - Jan 9 @ 8:30PM - ESPN
The NCAA really needs to step in and do something about the ridiculous gap between the final regular season game and the BCS Championship. We're in the second week of January and have heard all about the players and the crazy stats these teams have put up, so I'll keep it short. Les Miles has more to lose (millions of dollars) than Nick Saban, but I don't think Saban lets his team lose twice to LSU. Despite having the number one defense in Alabama (8.8ppg / 191ypg) up against the number two defense in LSU (10.5ppg / 252ypg), I expect this game to be much different than the 9-6 game on November 5th and cover the Over (41.5). I think the long gap since each team's last game will benefit the offenses, which should take advantage of defenses that are a step slow. Alabama won't need to rely on the kicking game as much and ultimately covers...Alabama 24, LSU 20
