Hawaii covers -7 against Arizona State in Hawaii Bowl. If you are feeling a nice buzz from the egg nog this evening then also take the over 71.5. 😉

OVERALL RECORD:

College Basketball 13-4-1

College Football: 7-8

NFL 8-3-1

NBA 1-1

Aloha Arizona State and Hawaii today in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. Arizona State limps into the Hawaii Bowl at 7-5 and playing their final game with coach Dirk Koetter. Quarterback Colt Brennan leads the high impact Hawaii offense and will one day be a quarterback in the NFL. Hawaii has the #1 offense in college football averaging 560 yards a game. I totally expect complete domination tonight by Hawaii since this is like a home game for Hawaii and Arizona State is down this year.

I couldn’t have been much farther off on my New Orleans Bowl prediction, but those sort of things happen sometimes. Today there are three bowls on the slate.

PapaJohns.com Bowl

South Florida vs East Carolina – should be some offensive fireworks, but in the end South Florida will put this one out. The 8-4 Bulls had high expectations coming into this season and will want to finish out with a W.

New Mexico Bowl

New Mexico vs San Jose St – 8-4 San Jose State rolls into the Lobos’ home stadium for this bowl game. This doesn’t quite seem fair and I think this will be the edge New Mexico needs to win this game in a defensive struggle.

Armed Forces Bowl

Tulsa vs Utah – This should be an excellent game and in the end 7-5 Utah will take down 8-4 Tulsa.

Rice covers -4.5 against Troy

Let me start off by apologizing for not providing a preview on last night’s Las Vegas Bowl game between BYU and Oregon. Not only did I slip up and not write a preview, but I also didn’t get up my bet of the day to let all my peeps know BYU was going to cover. All the Christmas parties this week caught up with me so last night it was definitely time to rest.

The New Orleans Bowl pits 7-5 Rice versus 7-5 Troy. These two teams are very evenly matched and both have explosive offenses. Rice rolls into this bowl on a six game winning streak and just a year ago were 1-10. Troy won six of their last seven games and almost beat FSU in Tallahassee earlier this year. All things lead to a very close game with one of these teams pulling out the victory at some point in the fourth quarter. Please stop by later to see who I pick to win the game.

Player to watch: You probably haven’t heard about Jarrett Dillard yet, but remember this name. Dillard is a phenomenal wide receiver for TCU and has caught a touchdown pass in 14 straight games and caught 20 on the year.
