The bowl season has started and so far this lady is 2-1 ATS with a straight up winner on underdog, Wyoming. Here are my picks for this week.

The Maaco Las Vegas Bowl Tuesday, 12/22 between BYU and Oregon State. The current line on this game is Oregon State by 2½ and the O/U is 58½.
I’m sure everyone is on Oregon State in this bowl, but BYU has won the last 5 out 7 against the Pac-10 and I can see the Beavers coming in a flat after losing their chance to be in the Rose Bowl since 1964. I like BYU to keep this game close and possibly win it outright, I also like the Over in this game. This is an underdog play on BYU plus the 2 ½ points and the Over 58 ½.

The Poinsettia Bowl Wednesday, 12/23 between Utah and California. The current line is California by 3½ and the O/U is 52. This is a very tough game to pick as Utah is on an 8 game bowl winning streak and Cal is on a 4 game bowl winning streak. For some reason, I just don’t feel comfortable going with Utah in this spot but also not all that comfortable backing Cal, but if I really had to choose a winner it would be Cal minus the 3½ but it is only an opinion.

 

The Hawaii Bowl Thursday, 12/24 between SMU and Nevada. The current line is Nevada by 13½ and the O/U is 72½. This should be a shootout as both teams can score but I just the feel the O/U number is a little high. I believe that Nevada will win this game but I’m not sure about covering the spread. Nevada is the more explosive team and if they get out to a lead it might be tough for SMU to catch up, but if SMU can keep Nevada in check then SMU will cover. I’m going to take a chance with SMU and the generous spread. This is an underdog play on SMU plus the 13 ½ points.

Well, that’s it for this week I will be back on Friday night, with my picks on Saturday’s bowl games.

I want to wish all everyone a very very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, especially my good friends, Sweet Baby Ray and Moose the Greek.
Hopefully, I can get them to give some of their picks on these bowl games.

As always bet with your head not over it
