There are 11 bowl games starting Thursday and ending Saturday night, so my write-ups for my best bets will be a little shorter this time around. I’m 5-3 right now as I went 2-1 on my Tuesday/Wednesday picks. I hope to be up even more come Sunday. Below are my best bets for the Thursday thru Saturday games.

 

 

2011-12 College BOWL Games up-to-date stats 

Best Bets 5-3 ATS

 

My first best bet is Thursday night and it is on FLORIDA STATE giving Notre Dame 3½ points in the CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL. I like FSU for a few reasons, they are playing this game inFlorida, so a big home crowd advantage. FSU has a much better team overall and the Seminoles played a much tougher schedule in my opinion. Lay the points FSU will win and cover this game.

 

My next best bet is Friday in the ARMED FORCES BOWL between BYU and Tulsa and I like the OVER 56½. Whenever these 2 teams play each other it is a total shootout and I wouldn’t expect anything else in this bowl game. These 2 teams both average 30 points a game so I’m taking the over as a best bet.

 

My next best bet is also on Friday in the PINSTRIPE BOWL with Rutgers giving IOWA STATE 1½ points. To me Iowa State is just the better team here and getting points is just a bonus. The Big East did not impress me this year and seeing both Rutgers and ISU play a few games this year I think the oddsmakers made the wrong team favored. Grab the 1½ points but you won’t need them as the Cyclones win this game outright.

 

My next best bet is Saturday in the MEINEKE CAR CARE BOWL between Northwestern and Texas A&M and I like the OVER 68. Between A&M’s Tannehill and Northwestern’s Persa these 2 quarterbacks have combined for 45 touchdowns. Do you really need more information then that. This will be a shootout and the over will happen well before the fourth quarter.

 

My next best bet is Saturday and it is on UTAH getting 2½ points from Georgia Tech in the SUN BOWL. I likeUtah in this game because they are always a good bet in bowl games no matter who they are playing. Georgia Tech lost 2 out of their last 3 games and I am not really sure what mindset they are in for this bowl game. Utah on the other hand is 7-2 ATS their last 9 bowl games and I just won’t go against them here. Grab the points but I think Utah wins this game on the up.

 

My last best bet is Saturday and it is on VANDERBILT giving 1½ points to Cincinnati in the LIBERTY BOWL. This is truly a gut pick, as I said before I was not impressed with the Big East this year but the few times I got to see Vanderbilt play I must admit I was impressed. They only lost by 3 to Arkansas and 5 to Georgia and with this game being played in Memphis they will even have a home crowd advantage. Lay the 1½ points here and take the Commodores as they will win and cover this game.

 

 

I will be back on Saturday with my NFL picks for the last week of the season !!

 

I hope everyone has a HAPPY and HEALTHY and SAFE NEW YEAR !!

 

As always, remember to bet with your head and not over it.      :)
