Wednesday Bowl picks...

Bowl Schedule picks up...

The 2011-2012 NCAA Bowl Season continues on Wednesday with two more games on tap leading into the first of the BCS Bowls on the weekend.

Here we go with my picks for the day’s action.

Military Bowl

Air Force vs. Toledo

Toledo is capable of putting basketball type numbers on the scoreboard having scored over sixty points at least twice this season, once in a loss. Air Force will hope their defense can hold the Rockets at bay and will try to help that effort by eating up the clock with their ground control option offense.

All up in this one, expect a high scoring affair with the “military” home crowd advantage being just enough to help Air Force pull it out.

Air Force 37-35

Holiday Bowl

Texas vs. California

Texas travels to San Diego to meet Cal in this season’s edition of the Holiday Bowl.

The Longhorns come in from a subpar season by Texas standards while Cal finished slightly better than expected.

Match up wise, if Texas comes in flat, they could get ambushed. The Horns will need to use the ground control component of their offense to keep the Golden Bears at bay. If they are successful, expect a Texas win. If it turns into a shootout, Cal could pull it off late.

Texas should be focused and use this one to catapult them into next season.

Texas 30-18
