The BCS national championship will be decided at the Superdome, where the favored BCS odds No. 2 LSU Tigers should enjoy a decided home-crowd advantage when they face the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes. Wow – how do you figure this game? Two teams that looked like they blew their title hopes back in November, wind up in the biggest BCS picks matchup of the season. Last year, there was little doubt Ohio State belonged in the BCS title game - even after the Buckeyes were stunningly routed by Florida, the team whose BCS selection was hotly debated leading up to the contest. This is a huge revenge game for Ohio State tonight, but they are 0-8 against SEC opponents coming into this game. SEC teams have won six of their first eight bowl games at 5-2-1 ATS, giving weight to their claim as the nation’s top conference, while the Big Ten is 3-4 both straight up and ATS. SportsBetting.com's linesmakers recently moved the line to favor LSU by 3.5pts versus the earlier 4 points.
BCS Championship Game
New Orleans, Louisiana
TV: FOX
Ohio State vs. LSU, 8:00 ET
LSU has two losses, but both were in triple overtime, and they did win the rugged SEC. The Buckeyes have a bunch of talent on both sides of the ball, but remember last year when after a 50-day layoff they came out flat against another SEC champ and got crushed by Florida 41-14. Ohio State allowed only 222.5 yards per contest and limited seven teams to single digits in points and 11 to two touchdowns or less. This is where the Tigers (11-2 SU, 5-7-1 ATS) have the advantage. They also bring a shutdown defense to the championship game: third in the country in yards allowed (283.9 per game) and No. 21 in points (19.6).
This is a great game tonight, I have a top play on this game tonight so check it out. I have huge stats on this game. Straight Handicapping, on-scene reports, and several angles point out a certain team as a winner. The Buckeyes and Tigers have met twice, not since 1987, with Ohio State holding a 1-0-1 edge.
