Ranking the College Bowl Games
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/16/2010
Throw out the implications. Negate the BCS or non-BCS factor. When it comes right down to it, what are the most intriguing, watchable, entertaining games on the bowl game schedule for this Holiday season? Here is how I see them breaking down with by 2010-11 bowl game rankings from the best to the worst of what to watch for the next month.
St. Petersburg Bowl Predictions: Southern Miss vs. Louisville Odds and Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 12/16/2010
Louisville and Southern Miss might seem like a random bowl pairing this holiday season: another meaningless game on a bloated bowl game schedule. However, of all of the matchups on the college football bowl slate these two opponents could be considered the biggest rivals of any two schools facing off.
College Football Bowl Game Odds: Totals Set for Offense
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/15/2010
If the holiday season is a time for giving not receiving then the bowl season is a time for offense and not defense. Most teams have more than a month off between their regular-season finale and their bowl game. Sometimes the defenses decide to take even longer off.
New Mexico Bowl Predictions: BYU vs. UTEP Odds and Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 12/15/2010
After five straight years of playing in the Las Vegas Bowl, BYU will meet UTEP at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 18 at University Stadium in Albuquerque, NM for the New Mexico Bowl. This is the sixth straight bowl game for the Cougars, but it’s their first time playing in the postseason outside of Sin City since 2001.
Humanitarian Bowl Predictions: Northern Illinois vs. Fresno State Odds and Betting Picks
by T.O. Whenham - 12/15/2010
Northern Illinois brings their 10-3 record from the MAC to Boise’s smurf turf to face 8-4 Fresno State in the Humanitarian Bowl. The game kicks of a 5:30 p.m. EST on Saturday, Dec. 18. The two teams haven’t played each other since 1991, so there is no meaningful past history to rely on.
New Orleans Bowl Predictions: Ohio vs. Troy Odds and Betting Picks
by Aaron Smith - 12/15/2010
The New Orleans Bowl will be one of the first college bowl games played in 2010. The Ohio Bobcats will take on the Troy Trojans in the Superdome on Dec. 18 at 9 p.m. EST. Both of these teams struggled through portions of this season, but they were able to keep it together and get back to another bowl game. This looks like an even matchup, so it should be a good way to kick off the bowl season.
College Football Bowl Odds: Early One-Sided Action
by T.O. Whenham - 12/10/2010
There is still a lot of time to go before the bowls even start - never mind when they end - so there will be lots of line movement and public action between now and kickoff. The numbers have been posted for a few days already, though, so we are getting the first sense of where the betting affection lies in games.
College Football Picks: Army vs. Navy Betting Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 12/9/2010
Army vs. Navy hasn’t been the best rivalry game in college football for decades, but you can still argue it’s the most important, tradition-rich game of each season. The problem is how one-sided this series has been. Navy has won eight in a row (6-2) ATS to take a 54-49-7 edge in the series.
College Football Picks for Big 12 Championship: Nebraska vs. Oklahoma Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 12/4/2010
Two of the most accomplished and revered programs in college football history are going to line up this weekend for one last tussle as conference rivals. No. 13 Nebraska and No. 9 Oklahoma have been doing battle since 1912, from the 1971 Game of the Century to the Big Eight to the Big 12, and this will be the last matchup before the Huskers bolt to the Big Ten Conference next year.
SEC Championship Game Predictions: Auburn vs. South Carolina Betting Odds and Picks
by T.O. Whenham - 12/3/2010
The story of the SEC Championship Game is how close it came to becoming a very different event. Auburn QB Cam Newton, the prohibitive favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, was temporarily ruled ineligible for this game because his father demanded a substantial amount of money from schools that wanted Newton to attend. In a reversal that opens up a serious loophole, Newton’s eligibility was restored because it was ruled that he had no knowledge of what was going on.
College Football Picks: ACC Championship Game Predictions for Florida State vs. Virginia Tech
by T.O. Whenham - 12/3/2010
This game features clearly the two best teams in the ACC. That’s not really a complement to this conference. These two teams are fine, but neither one is anywhere close to an elite program right now. On the plus side, whoever wins this game will be dramatically better than the Big East champion.
MAC Championship Game Predictions: Miami-Ohio vs. Northern Illinois Betting Odds
by Aaron Smith - 12/3/2010
On Friday night the MAC Championship Game will be played on at Ford Field in Detroit. This is the 14th annual MAC Championship Game. Northern Illinois is looking for their first win in the championship game, and Miami (Ohio) is searching for their second. The Huskies of Northern Illinois went 8-0 in MAC play, while the RedHawks of Miami went 7-1. Miami went just 1-11 overall last year, so the fact that they have made it to the MAC title game is an impressive feat.
College Football Picks: Arizona State at Arizona Betting Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 12/2/2010
It’s our final Thursday night NCAA regular-season preview of the season, and it’s not exactly a great finale as Arizona State visits Arizona for the Territorial Cup, which apparently is recognized by the NCAA as the nation's oldest trophy game. So there’s that.
Week 14 College Football Picks and Odds
by T.O. Whenham - 12/2/2010
Last week’s picks were a lesson in the power of trends. Oklahoma State looked like they were poised to finally end the dominance of Oklahoma, but Bedlam turned out like it always does - at least in part because the Sooners passed for about six million yards. Luckily Michigan State easily took care of business against Penn State to turn the week into a split.
College Football Predictions: Coaches on the Hot Seat
by T.O. Whenham - 12/1/2010
The college football regular season is drawing to an end, and already we are seeing several coaches getting fired. That’s inevitable, and it’s also inevitable that there will be more to come - and even more drama created as the open jobs are filled and more openings are created in turn. In other words, the carousel is in full swing.
BCS Bowl Projections and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/30/2010
One final weekend and 19 games remain in college football before bowl bids can be given out. In regards to the National Championship Game and the other BCS bowls, things have sorted themselves out pretty clearly through 13 weeks of football.
College Football Betting: Odds and Predictions for Next Miami Hurricanes Coach
by Alan Matthews - 11/30/2010
If you need any more proof that college football is all about winning and really nothing else, look no farther than the University of Miami, which fired Randy Shannon on Saturday night after UM's 23-20 home overtime loss to South Florida.
College Football Picks: Auburn vs. Alabama Odds and Betting Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 11/25/2010
No. 2 Auburn puts its National Championship dreams on the line this week as it heads to No. 11 Alabama to face the Crimson Tide. This game is set to kickoff at 2:30 p.m. on Friday in Tuscaloosa and the defending national champion Crimson Tide are looking to derail the Tigers in one of the most bitter rivalry games in the country.
Week 13 College Football Picks and Odds
by T.O. Whenham - 11/24/2010
It’s the 13th week of the college football season. Hopefully 13 isn’t unlucky for us here with these week 13 college football picks and odds. Last week’s picks were split - Michigan was even worse than I could have imagined (and I was very pessimistic), so Wisconsin easily covered for us, but Michigan State took the first 50 minutes of their game against Purdue off and made what should have been a blowout ridiculously close.
College Football Picks: Rivalry Week Odds and Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/24/2010
The Iron Bowl will likely decide a National Championship contender. The Backyard Brawl has two coaches, Bill Stewart and Dave Wannstedt, fighting for a Big East title and fighting for their jobs. A Big Ten title is on the line for Ohio State when it faces old rival Michigan, who may have Rich Rodriguez’s job on the line.
