Hokies vs. Bearcats Preview/Pick: Orange Bowl

Orange Bowl Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Cincinnati Bearcats

Virginia Tech is playing in its 16th straight bowl game, though it has lost all three of its appearances in BCS games. On the basis of fundamentals, it looks like clear edges should be going Cincinnati’s way.

BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: CINCINNATI -2.5, Total 41.5

Tigers vs. Cornhuskers Preview/Pick: Gator Bowl

Gator Bowl Clemson Tigers vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers

Clemson may be the biggest disappointment in college football this season. The Tigers looked to have so much offensive weaponry at their disposal, and were considered such easy favorites in the ACC, given a great chance to compete for a national title. Instead, they had to get hot at the end just to secure a bowl bid, and head coach Tommy Bowden was given his walking papers.

Spartans vs. Bulldogs Preview/Pick: Capital One Bowl

Capital One Bowl Michigan State Spartans vs. Georgia Bulldogs

In retrospect, Georgia was overrated coming into the season, wouldn’t you agree? The Bulldogs were being counted on as the #1 or #2 team by many pundits, on the strength of their resounding win over Hawai’i in last year’s Sugar Bowl and many starters returning. They just couldn’t live up to that hype, however.

Hawkeyes vs. Gamecocks Preview/Pick: Outback Bowl

Outback Bowl Iowa Hawkeyes vs. South Carolina Gamecocks

It’s interesting that both of these teams, which have recognizable names in college football, went 6-6 last season, yet did not go to a bowl game. With additional post-season contests this season, that hardly seems like something that is possible.  

BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: IOWA -4, Total 43

Tigers vs. Yellow Jackets Preview/Pick: Chick-Fil-A Bowl

Chick-Fil-A Bowl LSU vs Georgia Tech

LSU did not fare well in the second half of the season, losing 52-38 to Georgia on 31-13 to Ole Miss, along with more competitive defeats suffered at the hands of Alabama and Arkansas. The Tigers were also rescued from the jaws of defeat with a furious 30-point fourth quarter against Troy, otherwise they would have gone into the bowl season with a 6-6 record.

Eagles vs. Commodores Preview/Pick: Music City Bowl

Music City Bowl Boston College vs Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt is in a winter wonderland, going to its first bowl game in 26 years, seeking its first post-season win since 1955, and at home no less. The Commodores had even higher hopes than their own hometown Music City Bowl when they got off to a 5-0 start, but they went just 1-6 beyond that. One of the reasons was that the offensive faucet got completely turned off.

Beavers vs. Panthers Preview/Pick: Sun Bowl

Sun Bowl Oregon State Beavers vs. Pittsburgh Panthers

LeSean McCoy rushed for more yards this season than he did in his terrific freshman year. McCoy gained 1403 yards (scoring 21 TD’s) and really got going toward the middle of the season. He did cool down a bit toward the end, with 39 yards against Louisville, 82 against Cincinnati and 95 against Connecticut. He is, nonetheless, the foremost offensive weapon on this field.

Ducks vs. Cowboys Preview/Pick: Holiday Bowl

Holiday Bowl Oregon Ducks vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys

Oklahoma State was unbeaten and a top ten team this season until the Cowboys suffered a 28-24 loss to Texas. What followed was a 36-point loss to Texas Tech and a 20-point defeat to Oklahoma, and teams like that wind up in places like San Diego for the Holiday Bowl.

Broncos vs. Owls Preview/Pick: Texas Bowl

Texas Bowl Western Michigan Broncos at Rice Owls

Neither of these teams come from a power conference; after all, Rice is part of Conference USA, while Western Michigan is a member of the Mid-American Conference. Neither team has stepped up in a very big way against upper-echelon competition, though it should be mentioned that Western Michigan beat Temple and Buffalo on the road and beat Illinois at Detroit, a neutral site, while Rice won its big regular season game in a 56-42 shootout over cross-town rival Houston.

Wolf Pack vs. Terrapins Preview/Pick: Humanitarian Bowl

Humanitarian Bowl Nevada Wolf Pack vs. Maryland Terrapins

Maryland was a Jekyll-and-Hyde act for much of the season. At home they beat California, North Carolina State and North Carolina, and shut out Wake Forest (26-0). Away from home it was largely a different story.

Wildcats vs. Tigers Preview/Pick: Alamo Bowl

Alamo Bowl Northwestern Wildcats vs. Missouri Tigers

Northwestern’s defense did a heck of a job this year. Only two teams exceeded 30 points against them (Michigan State and Ohio State) and the Wildcats limited capable offensive clubs like Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa to 17, 10 and 17 points respectively. All told, they allowed just 19.2 points per game.

BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: MISSOURI -12.5, Total 66

Wolfpack vs. Scarlet Knights Preview/Pick: Papa Johns Bowl

PapaJohns.com Bowl North Carolina State Wolfpack vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights

These are two hot teams as far as the point spread is concerned. Rutgers comes into the PapaJohns.com Bowl having covered its last eight games, while N.C. State has covered seven straight. During its surge, Rutgers ran up scores on some teams, beating Pittsburgh by 20 points, South Florida by 33, Army by 27 and Louisville by 49, for example.

Huskies vs. Bulldogs Preview/Pick: Independence Bowl

Independence Bowl Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Louisiana Tech Bulldogs

Kudos to Jerry Kill, the first-year Northern Illinois coach who took a team that was 2-10 last year and turned it around somewhat, guiding the Huskies to a 6-6 record in the same year one of its alums, Michael Turner, became one of the most valuable players in the National Football League.

Week 17 Dolphins vs. Jets NFL Predictions

NFL Football Sports Betting Dolphins @ Jets

The Jets are going so bad right now that they managed to gain just 265 yards in last week’s pitiful loss at Seattle. Brett Favre, who’s been intercepted 19 times this season, was just 18 for 31 and suffered four sacks.
