For the season, Weekly Wager is 34-23 with 2 pushes. 9-9 on college games, 25-14-2 in NFL. See below for our special Weekly Wager BCS edition Part II:
Sugar Bowl: Michigan @ Virginia Tech (+3.0) - Jan 3 @ 8:30PM - ESPN
Unfortunately, this year's Sugar Bowl will likely take the Big Ten to 0-2 in BCS games and lead to another year of skepticism around the entire conference next season. After receiving a butt whooping from Clemson in which Hokies star running back and ACC player of the year David Wilson had just 32 yards on 11 carries, Va Tech has a lot to prove. The Hokies' defense, which ranks 8th in the nation allowing just 17.8ppg, will be focused on making Denard Robinson a pocket passer. Robinson has big-play ability on the ground, but he is inconsistent as a passer completing just 56% of his passes and throwing 14 INTs on the year. I expect David Wilson to have a big game and solidify his case for going pro a year early...Michigan 27, Virgina Tech 28
Orange Bowl: West Virginia @ Clemson (-3.0) - Jan 4 @ 8:30PM - ESPN
I'm betting Clemson has regained some of the swagger they had earlier this year after winning their first ACC title in over 20 years. West Virginia averages 35ppg behind one of the best passers in the country in Geno Smith who threw for 463 yards against LSU earlier this year. While Geno is the real deal, the same can't be said for the West Virginia team who's record is largely a result of a weak schedule in a weak conference. Clemson has begun to right the ship, and after holding Virginia Tech to just 13 total points in two games, people are taking notice. Look for Clemson's Sammy Watkins, who is only the third true freshman in NCAA history to win first team All-American honors, to have his national coming out party and light up the Mountaineers' secondary...West Virginia 24, Clemson 31
