12/29 Military: East Carolina vs. Maryland(-8)
Maryland to win, but Pirates to cover.
12/29, Texas: Illinois vs. Baylor(+1)
I’ll be at this game. Taking the Bears because of the essentially home crowd they’ll have.
12/29, Alamo: Oklahoma St. vs Arizona(+4)
I think the Pac 10 was pretty good this year, but I have to like the Cowboys’ offense, so I’ll give the points.
12/30, Armed Forces: Army vs. SMU(-7)
Pretty much a home game for the Mustangs, so I’ll give the points.
12/30, Pinstripe: Kansas State vs. Syracuse(-1)
Universally picking against the Big East, so go Wildcats.
12/30, Music City: UNC vs. Tennessee(+1)
Bleah, don’t like either of these teams. I guess it’s in Tennessee and they travel pretty well, so I’ll go with the Vols, but I won’t like it.
12/30, Holiday: Washington vs. Nebraska(-14)
Wow, that’s a big spread. Gotta give the points, though, no matter what I think of the Huskers.
12/31, Car Care: South Florida vs. Clemson(-5.5)
Taking the Tigers, picking against the Big Least.
12/31, Sun: Notre Dame vs. Miami(-3)
Notre Dame always gets a better bowl than they should. I’m going to violate my Big East rule just to pick against the stupid Domers.
12/31, Liberty: Central Florida vs. Georgia(-6.5)
As much as it pains me to to this, I have to go with the Dawgs.
12/31, Chick-fil-A: Florida State vs. South Carolina(-3)
The Gamecocks seem awfully puffed up for a team that lost 4 games. Of course, they lost 4 games in the SEC, which is better than losing 4 games in the ACC. Give the points.
New Year’s Day bowls in part 3!
