Johnson's Bowl Picks - 2012/13

Question

NEW MEXICO BOWLTwo teams that really don&#x27;t play defense in this one.  Arizona played very well in a much tougher conference than Nevada.  KaDeem Carey is a beast at RB and had a fantastic season.  Nevada already played at this stadium this season, so there will be some familiarity in this one.  If Matt Scott can limit his turnovers (12 INT&#x27;s this season) than Arizona should be able to run all over the WolfPack defense.  The total is set very high in this one as both teams put up big numbers, but with the probability of a lot of rushes...there should be some time taken up.  Generally in the New Mexico Bowl, the favorites seem to have more success, and I don&#x27;t see the Wildcats struggling that much in this one.Prediction:  Arizona 41  Nevada 31ARIZONA WILDCATS -8  (2.2 to win 2)UNDER 80  (1.1 to win 1)

IDAHO POTATO BOWLUtah State brings their top notch defense into this one to face Toledo, who focuses more on offense and plays very little defense.  Luckily for the Rockets this season they didn&#x27;t have to play many quality opponents...38-58 record for the teams that they beat this year not including Coastal Carolina a non-FBS school.  Their three losses came against Bowl teams Arizona, Ball State, and Northern Illinois.  Each of the losses came only by 7 points, but that speaks volumes about who they&#x27;ve had to play.  Utah State has one of the better defensive secondaries, and should be able to limit the Toledo offense all day IMO.Prediction:  Utah State 31  Toledo 14UTAH STATE -10.5  (1.1 to win 1)UNDER 58.5  (2.2 to win 2)

Maybe they wore themselves out in the 1st half?

OVERALL RECORD:  1-3  (-2.4 U)San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsetta BowlReally tough to go against a team here that is playing a home game.  A lot of love for BYU based on their defense, and the fact that they played a considerably tougher schedule than the Aztecs did this season.  But when it&#x27;s all said and done, the Aztecs are coming into this game as winners of 7 straight, didn&#x27;t have to travel at all, and have a solid enough offense to make BYU think.  Their defense isn&#x27;t anything special, but the offense of BYU certainly isn&#x27;t either.Prediction:  SDSU  24  BYU 20San Diego State &#x2B;3.5  (2.2 to win 2)
