On the Friday January 4 edition of BangTheBook Radio, host Adam Burke was joined by professional handicapper Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com to chat about the College Football Playoff National Championship Game and college basketball conference play. The guys looked at the Clemson vs. Alabama matchup and the betting odds and also talked about how things change in college hoops with conference play.

The Tigers and Crimson Tide meet again and the line is moving down. Ralph had some thoughts on that and also about how he will attack the prop betting market once those lines are released. Most of the segment was dedicated to college basketball, in terms of how to evaluate what we’ve seen so far from teams that are now facing conference competition. Adam and Ralph discussed some betting angles for this weekend, including two picks that will make Ralph’s card for Saturday.
