Dec 16th
Myrtle Beach Bowl - Ohio vs Georgia Southern -3 o/u48.5
Despite losing their four games of the regular season Georgia Southern comes into this game with their heads held high. Unfortunately for the Eagles they are running into a Bobcat team that went 9-3 and finished the season with three straight wins. But something about this line smells to high heaven so we are going against the stats and riding with Eagles.
Pick – Georgia Southern -3 - LOSS
Celebration Bowl - Howard vs Florida A&M -6.5 o/u50.5
FAMU brings a gaudy 11-1 record into this game while the Bison had to win their final two games just to become bowl eligible. They share no common opponents so we are going to go with our gut and say the Rattlers high powered offense will translate.
Pick - FAMU -6.5 - LOSS
New Orleans Bowl - Louisiana vs Jacksonville State -2.5 o/u58.5
The Ragin Cajuns have an excellent record in what's become their unofficial hometown Bowl game. Rich Rod and the Gamecocks will be looking to make a statement in Superdome. Look for this game to feature a ton of points and come right down to the wire.
Pick - OVER 58.5 - WIN
Cure Bowl – App State vs Miami (OH) +6.5 o/u42.5
Miami (OH) won the MAC Championship by avenging their sole conference loss against Toledo. The Red Hawks were dominate on defense all year long holding opponents under 20 points 7 times. App State had a 5 game win streak snapped when they lost in the Sun Belt Championship to Troy. Keep a close eye on the Myrtle Beach Bowl as that will be a big indicator of what may happen here.
Pick – OVER 42.5 - LOSS
New Mexico Bowl – New Mexico St vs Fresno St +3.5 o/u51.5
Fresno St comes into this game having lost three straight and with a new coach as Jeff Tedford stepped down just two weeks ago. Conversely New Mexico St won eight of their final nine including a huge road win against Auburn. Jerry Kill is just 1-5 in bowl games so that begs the question, "how much does he value playing this week?".
Pick - Fresno St +3.5 - WIN
LA Bowl – UCLA vs Boise St +4 o/u48.5
Chip Kelly and his UCLA Bruins overcame an anemic offense this season with their stellar defensive play. The Bruins held opponents to under 20 points in eight games and despite finishing the year winning just once in their final four games they have retained most of their high profile players. Boise won the MWC with a wins of Air Force and UNLV to close out the season. Andy Avalos left right after that win for the DC job at TCU.
Pick – UCLA -4 - WIN UNDER 48.5 - LOSS
Independence Bowl – Cal vs Texas Tech -3 o/u56.5
In a battle of 6-6 teams the seventh place team in both PAC 12 and Big 12 face off. Cal comes in having won three straight and Texas Tech won three of their final four. Outside of a blowout loss to CFP bound Texas the Red Raiders were in every game this season. Cal was a little more up and down throughout the year and we are going to play it safe and take the more consistent team.
Pick – Texas Tech -3 - WIN
Dec 18th
Famous Toastery Bowl -Western Kentucky vs Old Dominion -2.5 o/u54.5
In what was formerly the Bahamas Bowl the Hilltoppers take on the Monarchs. The weather looks like absolute hell for this game so make sure to check the radar and then take the UNDER.
Pick - UNDER 54.5 - LOSS
Dec 19th
Frisco Bowl - UTSA vs Marshall +13 o/u52.5
Fred Harris leads the Roadrunners for what feels like his 10th season in college. After flirting with every head coaching vacancy this past go around, Jeff Traylor is still on the sidelines and that's a good thing for fans and players. Marshall has a long and storied history and an impressive 13-6 record in bowl games.
Pick - Marshall +13 - LOSS
Dec 21st
Boca Raton Bowl – South Florida vs Syracuse -3 o/u60.5
Syracuse started the year hot winning 4 straight. Then they got cold as ice and lost their next five. The Orange can score with anybody and facing a pass defense that ranks last in the FBS they should be able to do what they did best this year, beat bad teams.
Pick – Syracuse -3 - LOSS
Dec 22nd
Gasparilla Bowl – Georgia Tech vs UCF -4.5 o/u64.5
UCF was the only newbie in the Big 12 to make a bowl game this season. The Golden Knights
and Gus Malzahn should be primed and ready for a Georgia Tech team that has already lost a number of players to the transfer portal.
Pick – UCF -4.5 - LOSS & UNDER 64.5 - WIN
Dec 23rd
Birmingham Bowl - Troy vs Duke +8.5 o/u44.5
Troy won the Sun Belt over a game App State team, while Duke faded down the stretch without Riley Leonard. The Blue Devils lost Mike Elko to A&M and Leonard to Notre Dame just days after regular season play concluded. Look to Troy to take the lead earlier and look for Duke to pack it in at about the same time.
Pick - Troy -8.5 - LOSS
Camellia Bowl - Arkansas St vs Northern Illinois +1 o/u53.5
The Red Wolves of Arkansas St overcame their dreadful defense to make a bowl game, but that is where this story should end. Northern Illinois disappointed early this season, but came on late winning five of their final seven.
Pick - NIU +1 - WIN
Armed Forces Bowl - James Madison vs Air Force +3 o/u41.5
All year long we heard what a travesty it would be if JMU was left out of bowl season. Well here they are and here is Air Force. The Falcons are one of the rare triple option teams that actually play well in bowl games. They are 15-13-1 in such games and we are banking on them adding to the win column this year.
Pick - Air Force +3 - WIN
Idaho Potato Bowl - Georgia St vs Utah St -1.5 o/u61.5
Some games just don't need to be played and this battle of 6-6 teams from the Group of 5 is example number one. Georgia St finished the year losing five in a row and the Mountain West has won the Potato Bowl twice over the last three years.
Pick - Utah St -1.5 - LOSS
68 Ventures Bowl - South Alabama vs Eastern Michigan +16.5 o/u46.5
The Jaguars are playing right in their back yard against one of the worst offenses in the FBS. Add in an EMU team that is excited to just be in warm weather and it has all the makings of a blow out. But as the great Lee Corso says, "Not so fast my friend". the Eagles are a prideful team who finished the year with wins against Akron and Buffalo.
Pick - EMU +16.5 - LOSS
Las Vegas Bowl - Utah vs Northwestern +6.5 o/u41.5
The Wildcats had a remarkable season overcoming the firing of their long time head coach following a "hazing" scandal. Utah never got off the ground this season as Cam Rising was not able to return from his knee injury which he suffered during the 2022-2023 season.
Pick - Northwestern +6.5 - WIN
Hawai'i Bowl - Coastal Carolina vs San Jose St -10 o/u 53.5
This game never feels right when the Rainbow Warriors are not part of it. Look for Coastal to get off to a slow start but score enough late to ruin the spread.
Pick - Coastal Carolina +10 - WIN
Dec 26th
Quick Lane Bowl - Bowling Green vs Minnesota -3.5 o/u38.5
Minnesota struggled against the top of the Big Ten this year, but held its own against everyone else. Bowling Green was a clear number three in MAC. This game should be a low scoring affair but the Golden Gophers should come out on top.
Pick - Minnesota -3.5 - WIN
First Responder Bowl - Texas St vs Rice -4 o/u60.5
Texas loves their football and this game is about as Texas as it gets. Rice won their final two games to gain bowl eligibility and Texas St was up and down all season. In game like this we usually opt for the points so give us 4 and give us Rice.
Pick - Rice +4 - LOSS
Guaranteed Rate Bowl - Kansas vs UNLV +12.5 o/u64.5
UNLV overachieved this year making it all the way to the Mountain West Championship game. Kansas suffered injuries at the quarterback position and still managed an 8-4 record in the tough Big 12. This game may look like a mismatch on paper, but we expect the Runnin Rebs to hang around for a while.
Pick - Kansas -12.5 - WIN
Dec 27th
Military Bowl - Virginia Tech vs Tulane +8 o/u46.5
Willy Fritz' departure is all the information we need about this game. Tulane will find it tough to get motivated in Virginia Tech's backyard without the Head Coach who has been responsible for the Green Wave's turnover.
Pick - Virginia Tech -8 - WIN
Mayo Bowl - UNC vs WVU -6.5 o/u55.5
Opt outs and motivation are the key to the Mayo Bowl. Look for West Virginia to be the more complete team and therefore be the better team.
Pick - WVU -6.5 - WIN
Holiday Bowl - Louisville vs USC +7.5 o/u 57.5
Kellen Williams has already opted out this game has lost out on whatever luster it could have had. Louisville will be surely trying to make a statement after a bad lost to FSU in the ACC championship game.
Pick - Louisville -7.5 - LOSS
Texas Bowl - Texas A&M vs Oklahoma St +2.5 o/u53.5
Mike Elko takes the reigns at A&M after Jimbo Fischer was fired a few weeks ago. The Aggies are a tough team to handicap as they play well for parts of games. Okie St rode Ollie Gordon to a Big 12 Championship appearance but was handled by a much better Texas team. Ollie has not stated if he is opting out or not, which makes this an impossible play.
Pick - A&M -2.5 - LOSS
Dec 28th
Fenway Bowl - SMU vs Boston College +10.5 o/u51.5
SMU comes into this game feeling cheated as the committee selected unbeaten Liberty as the Group of 5 New Years Day participant. BC is playing a home game in what should be tough conditions. Take the Eagles and the points and hope for the nastiest weather the Northeast can dream up.
Pick - BC +10.5 - WIN
Pinstripe Bowl - Rutgers vs Miami -1 o/u40.5
You know these predictions used to be a lot more fun before opt outs and transfer portals became a thing. Miami has lost Tyler Van Dyke and it is not exactly sure what that actually means. All we know is Rutgers was one of the best bad teams in the country and they will be pumped to play this game.
Pick - Rutgers +1 - WIN & UNDER 40.5 - LOSS
Pop-tarts Bowl - NC State vs Kansas State -3 o/u47.5
We have another transfer portal situation as Will Howard the Wildcats best QB will not be playing in this game. NC State had a lot of chances to impress this season and failed to do so in each and every one of them.
Pick - Kansas State -3 - WIN
Alamo Bowl - Arizona vs Oklahoma +3 o/u62.5
Like a broken record we will once again lament the state of college football and the transfer portal in particular. The Alamo Bowl had the chance at being the best non-playoff game of the year, but Dillion Gabriel's absence has left a lot of question marks for the Sooners.
Pick - Arizona -3 - WIN
Dec 29th
Gator Bowl - Clemson vs Kentucky +4 o/u46.5
The SEC has been overrated for years and Kentucky's emergence was a biproduct of that. Clemson struggled on offense this year, but they are still a borderline top team. Look for Kentucky to do what it does best, lose to somewhat decent teams.
Pick - Clemson -4 - LOSS
Sun Bowl - Oregon St vs Notre Dame -6.5 o/u42.5
In another game that had a chance at being a classic but is now ruined, we have Notre Dame who may or may not have Sam Hartman under center and Oregon St without its head coach and starting QB.
Pick - Notre Dame -6.5 - WIN
Liberty Bowl - Memphis vs Iowa St -8.5 o/u57.5
Matt Campbell got a lot of credit this year for "leading" a Cyclone team to 7-5 in a down year for the Big 12. Memphis is feisty as always but how will their style hold up against a stout defense.
Pick - Memphis +8.5 - WIN
Cotton Bowl - Missouri vs Ohio St +2.5 o/u48.5
This is no doubt the biggest game for Missouri in as long as anyone can remember. Ohio St on the other hand is still whining about Connor Stallions. Kyle McCord is gone, Marv is out for the game and the Buckeye faithful consider this season a total failure.
Pick - Missouri -2.5 - WIN
Dec 30th
Peach Bowl - Ole Miss vs Penn St -3.5 o/u48.5
Now this is the type of old fashion Bowl game we love. By all accounts both teams will have their full compliment of players and both teams have motivation to perform. The Nittany Lions are attempting to add a signature win to a 10-2 regular season and the Rebels are trying to do the same.
Pick - Ole Miss +3.5 - WIN
Music City Bow - Auburn vs Maryland +2.5 o/u49.5
All the air went out of the Auburn balloon on the Milroe Miracle. Maryland should walk to an easy victory here.
Pick - Maryland +2.5 - WIN
Orange Bowl - Georgia vs Florida State +14 o/u 44.5
In a game where neither team wants to be there you have to pick with your head and not your heart. Our heart says FSU will be playing to prove to the nation that they belonged in the CFP. Our heart says that Mike Norval is a hell of a coach who will come up with a game plan to give his defense a chance to take over the game. And our heart says that the AP voters would recognize an undefeated FSU team as a rightful co-national champion, but our head says Georgia is 29-1 in their last 30 games and even a healthy Jordan Travis would have trouble with them.
Pick - Georgia -14 - WIN
Arizona Bowl – Toledo vs Wyoming -3 o/u44.5
Toledo only lost two games all year and that was by a total of just 11 points. The Rockets were one win away from a New Years Six game so don't sleep on the team with the funny name. Wyoming's legendary coach finally retired and now the Cowboys face an uncertain future under a long time assistant.
Pick – Toledo +3 - WIN
Jan 1st
ReliaQuest Bowl - Wisconsin vs LSU -8.5 o/u55.5
Wisconsin is no good, but we are not sure how good LSU is either. Sure Jayden Daniels put up huge numbers against Group of 5 opponents and sure LSU lost to a few tough teams, but who was their best win, Missou?
Picks - Wisconsin +8.5 - WIN
Fiesta Bowl - Liberty vs Oregon -17.5 o/u65.5
Dan Landing isn't out for clicks, but he might be out for blood after losing another close game to Washington in the PAC 12 Championship. Liberty should be commended for their undefeated season, but man oh man have they run into a buzz saw here. Bo Nix has committed to playing and Oregon should be firing on all cylinders. The only question is will Oregon pull their starters at some point and allow Liberty to sneak a backdoor cover in?
Pick - Oregon -17.5- WIN
Citrus Bowl - Iowa vs Tennessee -8.5 36.5
Joe Milton could not handle the Big Ten when he was there three years ago and we are betting that he won't be able to handle them again. Iowa is mocked by most of the country for having a great defense, outstanding special teams, and poor offense. The fact is they won 10 games and hung around against Michigan for a half. Look for a tight game and an Iowa win.
Pick - Iowa +8.5 - LOSS
College Football Playoff
Rose Bowl – Alabama vs Michigan -1 o/u45.5
Yes Alabama is only in this game because of corruption at is most vile form, but do not count out the Crimson Tide. Nick Saban is the best big game coach in the world and Jalen Milroe has grown up right before our very eyes. Michigan is 0-2 in a playoff appearances and this year has all the makings of a redemption story for Harbaugh and the boys in blue. Can Michigan's ball control offense and smothering defense stop a dynamic player like Milroe, only time will tell.
Pick – Michigan ML - WIN
College Football Playoff
Sugar Bowl - Texas vs Washington +4 o/u63.5
Texas has skill position players that make NFL scouts drool. Quinn Ewers is as talented as any qb in the FBS and Steve Sarkisian is a truly gifted play caller. On the other side Michael Penix Jr is as clutch as clutch comes. He has led his team to an unbeaten regular season in what was the best conference in all of college football. This is a true coinflip game and because of that we are taking the points and riding with Washington.
Pick - Washington +4 - WIN
Jan 8th
National Championship - Michigan vs Washington +5.5 o/u57 -
Pick - Michigan ML - WIN
