 The Virginia Tech Hokies and the Clemson Tigers will face each other on Saturday at Bank of America Stadium in the ACC Championship Game, televised on ESPN. 
Sometimes even the most obvious plays work – and this looks to be today’s ‘Captain Obvious Award’ winner, hands-down.
Talk about the proverbial two teams headed in opposite directions: Va Tech has played the role of runaway train lately, winning every road game this betting season while covering all three in this price range.
And Clemson? The Chad Morris-run offense that was blowing the doors off everyone in the early season has lost more than one cylinder in recent weeks, going 1-3 SU and 0-4 ATS while averaging a mere 18.6 PPG over that time span.

 The Southern Miss Golden Eagles will face the Houston Cougars on Saturday at John O`Quinn Field at Robertson Stadium in the Conference USA Championship Game and will be televised on ABC.
CUSA title game is one of several ‘firsts’ for Houston. Not only have the Cougars never won 13 games in a row in school history, a victory here would put a CUSA team in a BCS bowl game for the first time in conference history.
We think they’ll get it… but not by enough to cover the spread.
The same warning alert we expounded upon in the Ucla-Oregon game goes out here: college conference championship game favorites of more than 10 points are just 6-14 ATS, including 3-5 SU and 1-7 ATS when off a win of more than 20 points.

 The UCLA Bruins and the Oregon Ducks will meet on Friday at Autzen Stadium in the Pac-12 Championship Game in a betting game televised on Fox.
When Colorado and Utah jumped ship to help form the new Pac-12 Conference in 2011, league leaders were beaming like proud parents at the news that a first-ever conference championship game would put the fi nishing touches on regular betting season play.
However, they’re not smiling any more… not after a 4-straight-loss collapse by Arizona State (adios Dennis Erickson) thrust a mediocre 6-6 UCLA squad into the Big Game – where the Bruins were promptly made prohibitive 30-point underdogs to the host Ducks.
Granted, not all the other conference title games are guaranteed nail-biters: two contests feature double-digit lines with a third (Wisconsin) opening as 9.5-point favorite chalk.

 The Northern Illinois Huskies face Ohio Bobcats on Friday at Ford Field in the MAC Championship Game.
A pair of 9-3 teams go at it in a MAC title game that might actually be worth tuning in to see.
At best, it’s a showcase of ‘double-deuce’ offenses – units gaining 200+ yards both rushing and passing – as Ohio averages 212 RYPG and 250 PYPG compared to NIU’s 255 and 233 YPG, respectively.
At worst, it’s an opportunity for two programs that have been left at the altar in previous conference championship appearances to fi nally hoist the trophy.
This Friday evening trip to Detroit marks the Bobcats’ third chance at the overall league title in seven seasons under current head coach Frank Solich (1-1 ATS) while the Huskies have lost and failed to cover MAC title games in 2005 and 2010.
