Holiday "Bowl" Season

Well, its that time of the year again. Good food, good brew, and about 25 or so college bowl games to look at during the next week and a half.

Here is my quick take on some of the action coming up: both BCS, and non-BCS bowls.

WISCONSIN VS. FLORIDA ST.

Line: Florida St. -5.5
Pick: Wisconsin +5.5


Wisconsin's defense is going to be just too fast for Florida St. Also look for the Badgers on the money line (+190).

CALIFORNIA VS. MIAMI (FL)

Line: California -8.0
Pick: Miami +8.0


Both of these teams have looked utterly terrible at times throughout the season, especially in tough match-ups. Look for this game to come down to a field goal as 8 points just seems too much.

OREGON VS. OKLAHOMA ST.

Line: Oklahoma St. -3.0
Pick: Oklahoma St. -3.0


This is purely a pick-em in my books. Both teams have played good ball all season long, however, I have to give the edge to the cowboys on this one. They had tougher matchups during the season, and were undefeated for a while (7-0).

MICHIGAN ST. VS. GEORGIA

Line: Georgia -7.5
Pick: Michigan St. +7.5


Georgia has completely lost it. A team that was favoured to win the National Championship, loses a heart breaker in the final game of the season, and drops to #16 in the country.

PENN ST. VS. USC

Line: USC -9.0
Pick: USC -9.0


USC owns the Rose Bowl. Period.

MISSISSIPPI VS. TEXAS TECH

Line: Texas Tech -4.5
Pick: Texas Tech -4.5


With Graham Harrell being snubbed for a Heisman nomination (4747 YRDS. 41 TD), look for him to put up monster numbers. Unless there is something that I have completely missed here... This one is a steal.

UTAH VS. ALABAMA

Line: Alabama -10.0
Pick: Alabama -10.0


From #1 in the country, to... Utah??? I would take 'Bama by a thousand in this game.

OHIO ST. VS. TEXAS

Line: Texas - 8.0
Pick: Texas - 8.0


The most sought-after recruit since, well... ever, VS. the Heisman runner-up. Colt McCoy is good. Texas' defense is good. The line is good. If this gets any higher, I would stay away.

FLORIDA VS. OKLAHOMA

Line: Florida -3.5
Pick: Oklahoma +3.5

So there you have it, and not only do I have the SOONERS to cover the 3.5 points, but I also believe that on January 08, 2008, they will be National Champions.
