Bowl Games Volume 1

Today Bowl Fever SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPS through college football outposts across the nation.  From Annapolis to Colorado Springs, from Tampa to Tucson fans are ready to cheer on their squads in small numbers (most likely).

11:00 AM-  We will start with what looks like the AM snoozefest.  Navy and Wake Forest get together to play in the inaugural Eagle Bank Bowl.  Fans will be treated to Wake’s terrible passing game and Navy’s nearly non-existent passing game.  The over is 44.  The last time these two squads met the score was 24-17 Navy.

This time just take the over (44), as  I have no idea who will win this game.

Team A 28
Team B 21

2:30PM-  Colorado State and Fresno State tangle in the New Mexico Bowl, and for the first time the New Mexico Lobos will not be in attendance.

Fresno State has had a disappointing season by their standards and Colorado State is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, then deep fried.

I’ll take Fresno State -3.

Fresno 35
CSU 28

4:30 PM-  South Florida meets Memphis in the St. Petersburg Bowl played in the ugliest baseball stadium in America.  Both teams have not had great seasons.  Memphis’ biggest win came against Southern Miss who ended the season 6-6 (an identical record to Memphis).

South Florida on the other hand, went 2-5 in the Big East and did beat Kansas.  They started the season 5-0 then went 2-5 down the stretch to find themselves in this “bowl.”

South Florida is giving 11, but I think they’ll be fine.

USF 30
Memphis 10

8:00 PM-  The thrilling nightcap is a tilt between BYU and Arizona which should provide the best game of the day in the Las Vegas Bowl.

BYU is ranked #16 in the nation and they are getting 3 points?  They were 10-2 and the PAC 10 is not that awesome.  I’ll take the field goal and laugh my way to the bank.

BYU 24
Arizona 14

Bet fiddy across.
