Bowl Picks 1 of 2

Picking bowl games is extra tough. Does the team want to be there? How will the team respond to the loss of a coach? Surely an inexact science. And my excuse for a poor performance.

12.16 Celebration: #168 Grambling vs #145 NC A&T. Anything can and will happen in this game. Missed calls, great catches, targeting, an hour long halftime, fights, overtime. Will take 4 hours to play. A train wreck.

12.16 New Orleans: #72 Troy (-6-1/2) vs #97 North Texas.
But beware the green machine.

12.16 Cure Bowl: #127 Western Kentucky vs #154 Georgia State (4-1/2).

12.16 Las Vegas: #36 Boise State vs #33 Oregon (7-1/2).
I'm picking the favorite, but I smell an upset.

12.16 New Mexico: #89 Marshall vs #77 Colorado State (-5-1/2).

12.16 Camellia: #105 Middle Tennessee vs #86 Arkansas State (-4)

12.19 Boca Raton: #106 Akron vs #57 Florida Atlantic (-23)

12.20 Frisco: #71 SMU (-5) vs #101 Louisiana Tech

12.21 Gasparilla: #78 Temple (-7) vs #111 Florida International.
I'm probably wrong.

12.22 Bahamas: #119 UAB vs #67 Ohio (-7-1/2)

12.22 Potato: #87 Central Michigan vs #85 Wyoming (-1)

12.22 Birmingham: #44 South Florida (-2) vs #47 Texas Tech

12.23 Armed Forces: #64 Army vs #55 San Diego State (?)

12.23 Dollar General: #50 Toledo (-8) vs #76 Appalachian State

12.24 Hawaii: #56 Fresno State vs #58 Houston (-2-1/2).
Against my better judgement.

12.26 Heart of Dallas: #37 Utah (-7) vs #43 West Virginia.
Going with another underdog.

12.26 Quick Lane: #38 Duke (-4-1/2) vs #68 Northern Illinois.
Cutcliffe = Jedi Master

12.26 Cactus: #51 UCLA (fired coach) vs #34 Kansas State (-3)

12.27 Independence: #30 FSU (-14-1/2, lost coach) vs #103 Southern Miss

12.27 Pinstripe: #22 Iowa (-3) vs #32 Boston College.
Prep school boys can't handle the farm boys.

12.27 Foster Farms: #49 Arizona (-3-1/2) vs #35 Purdue.
Smell another upset here.

12.27 Texas: #28 Texas vs #46 Missouri (-3). Might be a tie.
