SportGamble.us Picks This Year's College Football Bowl Games
Here are the consensus bowl picks from the SportGamble.us staff.
Tue., Dec. 14
New Orleans Bowl
North Texas vs Southern Mississippi
SG’s Pick: North Texas
If the So. Miss defense can stop Jamario Thomas from adding to his gaudy stats they should be able to keep this one close.
7:30 pm
Tue., Dec. 21
Champs Sports Bowl
Georgia Tech vs Syracuse
SG’s Pick: Georgia Tech
7:45 pm
Wed., Dec. 22
GMAC Bowl
Memphis vs Bowling Green
SG’s Pick: Bowling Green
I want to pick Memphis to win this battle, but the Falcon’s scoring offense, 4th in the nation, will simply outscore Memphis regardless of how well they play.
8:00 pm
Thur., Dec. 23
PlainsCapital Fort Worth Bowl
Cincinnati vs Marshall
SG’s Pick: Marshall
Marshall has shown up to play in big games this year. I consider a bowl game a “big” game, wouldn’t you?
6:30 pm
Las Vegas Bowl
Wyoming vs UCLA
SG’s Pick: UCLA
UCLA should burn Wyoming with it’s passing and running game. Although, Wyoming is playing in it’s first bowl game in 11 years…that’s certainly motivating.
9:45 pm
Fri., Dec. 24
Hawaii Bowl
UAB vs Hawaii
SG’s Pick: Hawaii
NCAA’s all time passing leader should have a hay-day against this no show UAB defense
7:00 pm
Mon., Dec. 27
MPC Computers Bowl
Fresno State vs 18 Virginia
SG’s Pick: Virginia
Fresno State failed to play with the big dogs this season and Virginia is on the horizon to become one.
2:00 pm
Motor City Bowl
Toledo vs Connecticut
SG’s Pick: Toledo
Connecticut has a football team? Well, that’s what we would have said last season but they have a QB that can rip the secondary. You probably haven’t heard of him but the NFL scouts know him very well. Connecticut has a chance if they grasp the mindset they had when meeting Pittsburgh earlier in the year.
5:30 pm
Tue., Dec. 28
Independence Bowl
Iowa State vs Miami (Ohio)
SG’s Pick: Iowa State
Iowa State’s explosive offense will give Miami all they want…plus some.
6:30 pm
Insight Bowl
Oregon State vs Notre Dame
SG’s Pick: Notre Dame
Notre Dame is going to fight its heart out in defense of Tyrone Willingham. Oh, did we mention they’re a pretty good football team anyway?
9:45 pm
Wed., Dec. 29
Houston Bowl
Texas-El Paso vs Colorado
SG’s Pick: Texas-El Paso
Jordan Carson (name sound familiar?) will finally have his chance to showcase his talent on national television. Colorado is still wondering what happened in the Big 12 championship...
4:30 pm
Alamo Bowl
24 Ohio State vs Oklahoma State
SG’s Pick: Ohio State
Oklahoma State is no stranger to big games. Unfortunately, they haven’t learned how to win them.
8:00 pm
Thur., Dec. 30
Continental Tire Bowl
25 Boston College vs North Carolina
SG’s Pick: Boston College
North Carolina has a lack of “big game” experience while Boston College has the “secret to success” for winning bowl games, they’ve won 4 straight.
1:00 pm
Emerald Bowl
New Mexico vs Navy
SG’s Pick: Navy
Did we say Navy? That’s right! These guys finally learned how to play football.
4:30 pm
Holiday Bowl
4 California vs 23 Texas Tech
SG’s Pick: California
Cal will punish Texas Tech for being pushed out of the BCS picture.
8:00 pm
Silicon Valley Bowl
Troy vs Northern Illinois
SG’s Pick: Northern Illinois
Troy has never been to a bowl game and they’re not ready to win one either. N. Illinois has a ground attack that will out-muscle this Troy defense.
11:00 pm
Fri., Dec. 31
Music City Bowl
Alabama vs Minnesota
SG’s Pick: Alabama
This isn’t because we like the SEC. Minnesota isn’t playing at home...
12:00 pm
Sun Bowl
Purdue vs 21 Arizona State
SG’s Pick: Purdue
Arizona State is coming with their 2nd string QB that Purdue’s young, yet darn good, defense should contain. Expect Purdue to light up the score board in this one!
2:00 pm
Liberty Bowl
10 Boise State vs 7 Louisville
SG’s Pick: Louisville
This may be bowl game of the year. If you like fast attack offenses and aggressive scoring, this game is for you! Vegas will be exploding with “total points” bets on this one.
3:30 pm
14 Miami (FLA.) vs 20 Florida
Peach Bowl
SG’s Pick: Florida
If Chris Leak (Gators) isn’t the best QB in the land he will be. When the Gators are operating on all cylinders I would pick them to beat anyone in the country. Keep an eye on this one because it should be a money maker!
7:30 pm
Sat., Jan. 1
Cotton Bowl
15 Tennessee vs 22 Texas A&M
SG’s Pick: Tennessee
The Vols simply ran out of time in the SEC championship. I suspect they will pick up where they left off. Neither team “should” be here so it will definitely be one of the better games to watch.
11:00 am
Outback Bowl
16 Wisconsin va 8 Georgia
SG’s Pick: Georgia
Wisconsin can play offense buy GA’s fast defense will stop the run and force Wisconsin to throw resulting in too many mistakes to overcome. Georgia wins.
11:00 am
Gator Bowl
17 Florida State va West Virginia
SG’s Pick: Florida State
Florida State has put the lost to Florida behind them. Bowden’s ability to dominate bowl games has a “W” written all over it.
12:30 pm
Capital One Bowl
11 Iowa vs 12 LSU
SG’s Pick: LSU (restrictions apply...)
LSU is young but managed to fight their way to a good bowl game this year. If LSU’s defense can keep the score close they can pull this one off.
1:00 pm
Rose Bowl
13 Michigan vs 6 Texas
SG’s Pick: Texas
If Mack can persuade his players they’re as good as he did the nations coaches Texas will overcome a solid Michigan team.
4:30 pm
Fiesta Bowl
5 Utah vs 19 Pittsburgh
SG’s Pick: Utah
Pittsburgh slipped through the back door to win the Big East but I’m afraid Utah will show Pitt what it’s like to play with the Big Boys.
8:30 pm
Mon., Jan. 3
Sugar Bowl
3 Auburn vs 9 Virginia Tech
SG’s Pick: Auburn
Auburn should be playing for the national title. Look for Auburn to win big for the slight possibility of sharing the title.
8:00 pm
Tue., Jan. 4
Orange Bowl
1 Southern California vs 2 Oklahoma
SG’s Pick: Oklahoma
This one should come down to the last quarter. Oklahoma should prevail with stamina.
8:00 pm
