More Bowl picks...

Bowls for Christmas!!!

The 2011-2012 NCAA college football bowl season is well and truly underway with three games completed this past Saturday and more on tap over the next few days. In my weekend picks, I went poorly, going 3-4 which put my overall record for the year at 177-101.

So here we go for the next few games:

Beef “O” Brady’s Bowl (http://www.stpetersburgbowl.com/)

Florida International vs. Marshall

Florida International comes in from the Sun Belt Conference to face Marshall from Conference USA. Though FIU had a better record, Marshall faced a slightly tougher schedule so I will give the nod to the Thundering Herd in this one.

Marshall 34-24

Poinsettia Bowl (http://www.poinsettiabowl.com/) 21 December 2011

TCU (18) vs. Louisiana Tech

Both teams come in on seven game win streaks but TCU is always strong at this time of the year.

TCU 41-26

Las Vegas Bowl (http://www.lvbowl.com/) 22 December 2011

Arizona State vs. Boise State (7)

Boise State shunned by the BCS again will face off with underachievers Arizona State. In the last game for record setting quarterback Kellen Moore, the Broncos should send him off victorious over their PAC-12 foes.

Boise State 27-18

Hawaii Bowl (http://www.sheratonhawaiibowl.com/) 24 December 2011

Nevada vs. Southern Mississippi (21)

Southern Miss should be the better of these two teams that get to spend Christmas Eve in Hawaii.

S. Miss 30-20

Back after Christmas with more picks in the lead up to the BCS games.
