Let’s go ahead and get this out of the way early. The bowl officials did Chris Petersen dirty. The Washington Huskies head coach will face the Boise State Broncos in his final game on the sidelines in the Las Vegas Bowl. The storylines write themselves and the intrigue will draw a lot of ratings, but Petersen’s career, at least for the time being, will end with a win or a loss against the team that he took to new levels in the mid-to-late 2000s.

Petersen was fortunate to inherit a talent-rich program from Dan Hawkins and Dirk Koetter, but Boise State had that epic Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma in his first bowl appearance with the Broncos. Continued success followed with wins over major programs like TCU, Utah, Arizona State, and, ironically, Washington in bowl games.

This was already going to be a difficult and emotional game for Petersen irrespective of the opponent. It just so happens to be the he got his head coaching start with after five seasons as an offensive coordinator.

The Boise State players are far enough removed from the situation for it not to bother them a whole lot. Obviously they know the history of what Petersen did for Boise State football, but none of those guys are his recruits, though some of them may very well have gone to Boise State because of what Petersen accomplished to put the program on a pedestal that few Group of Five teams can live up to.

Washington is -3.5 with a total of 49.5 in the Las Vegas Bowl. The line opened -3 and has been bet up as a result of some early Washington support. Defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake has already assumed most of the head coaching duties and will officially get the job when the final horn sounds in the December 21 bowl game.

From a handicapping standpoint, Washington was going to be a play-on team in the bowl game without question....until the answer to “Who is Washington playing?” became Boise State. The Huskies players are sure to want to send their coach off with a win, but the task at hand certainly got tougher drawing a highly motivated Boise State team. The recruiting grounds in Washington are sought after by both programs, among other reasons to be amped for this one.

While an unfair pairing, Washington has only itself to blame in a lot of respects. This should not have been a 7-5 football team in the regular season. Washington lost five conference games for the first time since 2015 when Petersen was still trying to build up the program. The Huskies don’t belong in the Las Vegas Bowl. Not after playing in the Rose, Fiesta, and Peach the last three years. This is a team that won 32 games from 2016-18, including two conference championships. It ends with something of a whimper with this bowl placement.

Jacob Eason has been good, but not great, since transferring from Georgia. He completed about 64% of his tosses with a 22/8 TD/INT ratio. Eason isn’t the problem. Neither is leading rusher Salvon Ahmed, who has exactly 1,000 yards. Hunter Bryant and Aaron Fuller have had fine seasons.

It has been Lake’s defense. Enormous losses, particularly in the secondary, over the last two seasons took Washington’s defense down to levels we haven’t seen in quite some time. Normally, 30th in yards per play allowed wouldn’t sound bad. Allowing 5.15 YPP wouldn’t sound bad. But this is Washington. The Huskies were 11th last season at 4.67, tied for third at 4.42 in 2017, fourth at 4.61 in 2016, and 23rd in 2015 at 4.90. The Huskies have allowed over five yards per play for the first time since 2014. Coming in 61st in YPP didn’t help matters either.

The Broncos managed 6.15 yards per play, which was good for 42nd, but, as we know, the Mountain West is not known for defense. Boise State played the 86th-ranked schedule. Washington played the 42nd-ranked schedule. Boise State’s defense bounced back from allowing 5.6 yards per play last season to allow 5.23 this season, but it was also kind of a down year for offense in the Mountain West. In Boise State’s only Power Five test of the season, the Broncos allowed 6.87 YPP to Florida State. That was a late August game in the sauna that is Tallahassee in the summertime.

This is a hard handicap. There are so many layers to this game. Washington has the Power Five pedigree and has played a better schedule. Boise State recruits so well that the talent gap isn’t overwhelming and Bryan Harsin has been a good bowl coach. Boise State also missed out on last year’s bowl game appearance because the First Responder Bowl was cancelled due to unsafe conditions.

Washington was +0.75 YPP against a tougher schedule than Boise, who was +0.92 in the YPP diff department. Factor in Petersen’s last game and it’s hard to see Washington losing this one. Now that the line has gone to 3.5, it is tough, especially if you have a take on the total. The total is fairly low at 49.5 for a college game. If you think it will be a low-scoring environment, that hook could matter. If you think it will be a higher-scoring game, you have to decide which team that helps more.

Ultimately, Washington -3.5 is the lean here and the lean on the total is the over, as Lake will be a bit distracted with the recruiting process and Boise State’s defense has been facing patsies most of the year.

Lean: Washington -3.5

Lean: Over 49.5

The Houston Cougars have rewarded their coach, the much-maligned Kelvin Sampson, with their first trip to the Final Four since 1984. They don't have anything like Phi Slamma Jamma going on right now (if you don't understand that, ask your parents), but they might have the right stuff to take down the Baylor Bears in a Lone Star showdown with a berth in the national title game at stake.

Game time is 5:14 PM ET at Lucas Oil Stadium. And if you're a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports </a>customer, you will be able to place wagers while the game is in progress by accessing Sports Betting Prime.

NCAA Tournament - Final Four @ Indianapolis
HOUSTON COUGARS vs. BAYLOR BEARS, 5:15 PM ET (CBS)

Final Four Betting Odds: Baylor -5 / Total 134.5

Here we have a game between two teams that don't necessarily put a lot of size in their respective starting lineups, but are among the top offensive rebounding squads in the nation. That means they are athletic, hustle and are well-coached.

Baylor is #1 in the nation in three-point accuracy at 41.1%. But they've been a little choppy in the tournament, as they've hit a little less than 36%. Perhaps they're a bit susceptible to a team that can really get out to the perimeter and defend. Houston is that team; the Cougars have allowed only 29.2% from beyond the arc this season.

What Houston has to be mindful of is to defend without fouling. Their opponents have scored 24% of their points from the free throw line. We say that because the Bears can sometimes be an iffy proposition at the charity stripe (barely 70%).

What we're wondering about is whether this may come down to who is able to defend their own glass better. Statistically, we know that Houston has been able to pull down a higher percentage of their opponents' misses.

As we mentioned at the beginning, these teams don't put a particularly big starting lineup out there. But they can both bring size off the bench. Baylor has a lot of energy with 6-9 Matthew Mayer (8.2 ppg in 15.5 minutes per game) and 6-8 Jonathan Tchatchoua. Houston can summon a trio of 6-8 people - Fabian White, Reggie Chaney and shot-blocker Brison Grisham.

Baylor, like Houston, has been stingy against three-point shooting teams, allowing just 26.8% from the arc in the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars are the team more reliant on triples, so that's a matchup challenge.

Houston does indeed have a hot hand in Quentin Grimes, the All-American (and Kansas transfer) who has nailed just a shade under 50% of his three-point attempts over his last dozen games.

Part of Baylor's defensive game is to force turnovers. They have been able to do that against opponents who generally take care of the ball pretty well - Wisconsin (14), Villanova (16) and Arkansas (15). We can expect that Houston will cough it up a little, although in their defense we must say that the Cougars have committed just 37 miscues in four games in Indianapolis.

If we had seen Baylor shoot more consistently from downtown in this tourney, the Bears would have looked practically unbeatable (with Gonzaga the exception of course). But Houston has a chance to keep them off-balance, enough for us to recommend taking the points.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.
