This Month's Picks

 

 

Well, another exciting year of college football has come to an end. This year, I'm going to do something I haven't done since 2007:  I'm making picks in ALL of the bowl games. 

Gambling is a disease. But it is the only disease in which you can make a MILLION DOLLARS. (Thanks, Norm McDonald for that great joke.) Because of that, please don't bet on any of these games and my "selections" are for entertainment value only. 

Bahamas Bowl
Miami (Ohio) vs. UAB
Miami (Ohio)  is playing against The University of Alabama (Birmingham). If you have to play in a no name bowl, you might as well play it in the Bahamas.   UAB wins.

Cure Bowl
No. 24 Troy vs. No. 25 UTSA

Troy wins

Saturday, Dec. 17

Fenway Bowl
Cincinnati vs. Louisville 

Last year, Cincinnati made it into the playoffs and this year they are playing at Fenway Park a week before Christmas. Cincinnati wins.

Celebration Bowl
Jackson State vs. N.C. Central

Jackson State with or without Deion wins.

 

New Mexico Bowl
SMU vs. BYU

BYU wins

LA Bowl
Washington State vs. Fresno State

Washington State wins because they always bring their flag to Gameday.

LendingTree Bowl
Rice vs. Southern Mississippi

What? Rice is in a bowl game?  Southern Miss wins this one because two of my favorite high school teachers, Mr. Hines and Kitty Love went there.  In fact, Mr. Hines went there while Jimmy Buffett went there.

Oregon State in this one.  Florida has been stinky this year.

Hawai'i Bowl
Middle Tennessee State vs. San Diego State

When did they start putting an ' between to the two i's in Hawaii?  Was it in an email I missed?  Good for Middle Tennessee for earning this vacation bowl. I'm going with Middle Tennessee because my buddies Joey and Katy Wade graduated from there.
