Hey darn tard...the best team won. The write up was dead on.It was a fluke that CMU covered...but WKY was by far the best team out there. Just ridiculous coaching. very bad coaching.

FRESNO STATE vs RICE Wednesday, Dec. 24, 8:00 p.m. ET ESPN
Update
I think that Rice simply wins this one by more than field goal, and if they’re getting points than this can make for a great money line underdog. These teams are so close in terms of numbers across the board, including passing yards per game, rushing yards per game, and points for/against. I think that it should be a great game, but Rice is the better team on this one. I’m going with the Owls to get the job done and as always check back prior to the game for any update or thoughts on the total.

GEORGIA vs LOUISVILLE
Tuesday, Dec. 30, 6:30 p.m.ET
ESPN
The
2014 Belk Bowl should be a great matchup, and one that’s definitely
worth taking in when you get home from work (unless you have the day
off!) on Tuesday, December 30th at 6:30pm EST on ESPN. It features two
top-25 teams in the Georgia Bulldogs (13th) against the Louisville
Cardinals (21st). Both of these teams have done some impressive things
in 2014, and both are looking to end the year on a high note. Let’s get
to a prediction and pick for this great pre-New Years matchup!
Georgia Turns to Chubb With Gurley Out
For the Bulldogs, they’ll be without Todd Gurley, who is out with an
injury. Fortunately for this team, Nick Chubb has stupped up in a big
way during his absence, and has rushed for 1,281 yards and 12
touchdowns. Quarterback Hutson Mason has had a strong senior year as
well, throwing for 20 touchdowns and just four interceptions, showing a
strong ability to avoid turning the ball over in most situations. The
Bulldogs have gotten success from all over, as they are the 13th-best
rushing team in the country with 255 yards per game, while also
averaging 41.7 points per game, eighth best in the country. The
Bulldogs’ only losses came against bowl-eligible teams in South
Carolina, Florida and Georgia Tech, although those first two didn’t have
the best of years by a long shot.
Louisville Led by Parker and Rotating QB's
Louisville actually played the first seven games of the season without
star wide receiver DeVante Parker, but he still leads the team in
receiving with 735 yards and five touchdowns. He’s been a complete stud
throughout his career, and it hasn’t mattered who’s been playing
quarterback. Starter Will Gardner got injured during the season, and
things turned over to Reggie Bonnafon, who had a strong stretch.
Bonnafon went down in the final game against Kentucky though, and this
meant that Kyle Bolin had to step in and led the way with a massive
game. It’s worth noting that the Cardinals will be without former Auburn
running back Michael Dyer, as he was ruled academically ineligible
before this game.
PICK
The Bulldogs may
be the favorites here, but you can’t overlook what the Cardinals have
done this year. While they had a tough loss to Virginia, their other two
losses came against the Clemson Tigers and Florida State Seminoles,
showing us just how well this team has dealt with the ups and downs of
the season. I think that the Cardinals keep this one close, and it goes
down to the wire. I’ll take this game to stay within a touchdown, and
for the game to end within a field goal one way or the other.
Louisville Cardinals

MARYLAND vs STANFORD
Tuesday, Dec. 30, 10:00 p.m.ET
ESPN
If you want to talk
about two teams who went in different directions in 2014, look no
further than the two teams squaring off in the 2014 Foster Farms Bowl.
For the Maryland Terrapins, no one really knew what to expect from this
team, but they were able to go 7-5 with a 4-4 record in their move to
the Big Ten. On the other side, the Stanford Cardinal were a highly
ranked team to start the season, but ended at 7-5 with a 5-4 Pac-12
record, leaving fans pretty disappointed when all was said and done.
These two teams now square off, and kickoff is set for Tuesday, December
30th at 10:00pm EST on ESPN.
Maryland Comes In Not Playing Great Football
The Terrapins come in having lost two of their last three games, and
three of their last five games. Basically, this Terrapins’ team got the
job done against the teams they were supposed to beat, and lost to the
teams they were supposed to lose to (in the eyes of most). Now, they’ll
look to get a solid win to end the year on the right note. Wide out
Stefon Diggs will be the player to watch, as he had 52 catches for 654
yards and five touchdowns, but is absolutely electric when the ball
touches his hands. This team didn’t excel at much offensively, and
really won quite a few of their games in true “grind it out” fashion.
Stanford Defense Is Key To Wins
The Cardinal on the other hand lost to teams who were all in the top-25
at the time that they faced them. It was a respectable group of losses,
but they just couldn’t get that big win at the time they needed it. They
did knock off the eighth-ranked UCLA Bruins in the final game of the
season, which was incredibly impressive, and could be a building block
towards this bowl game. Kevin Hogan will be the man to watch
offensively, as the senior threw for 17 touchdowns and eight
interceptions this year. Truly though, the power of Stanford is their
defense, as they rank second in the nation in points allowed per game at
just 16.
PICK
The
Cardinal comes in as two touchdown favorites, but I just don’t think
it’s enough. Stanford is just a far better team, and I have a ton of
faith in them, especially coming off of that win against UCLA. This is
one of the best bets of the bowl season, and I think they win by
multiple touchdowns (more than two obviously). Expect this game to turn
into a blowout for Stanford.

ILLINOIS vs LOUISIANA TECH Friday, Dec. 26, 1:00 p.m. ET ESPN
Update
The Bulldogs come into this game as close to a touchdown favorite, and I think this is the team who gets the job done in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl. Why, you ask? Well, this is a Bulldogs’ team who leads the nation with 40 takeaways on the year, so their defense has done a great job of getting the ball back into the offenses hands. Tack on the fact that this is just the fourth time that the Bulldogs have made a bowl in 20 years, and I fully expect them to end their year on a high note. We actually expect this team to win by more than three touchdowns, and while that may sound crazy, this is one of the best bets of the entire bowl season, although I am still treading a bit easy.

We appreciate your picks Spooky, keep it up and don't let those morons get you down
Thanks trends!!! Been doing this for a long time. Amazing how much negative energy there is on the forums. Heck these are my plays, so what does it matter if they win or lose to anyone else.
Lots of crazy games so far and what makes bowl season so much fun. Been some tough losses but what can you do. I think the analysis has been right there and picks have been good even though it hasnt worked out so far. Long way to go.
If it matters, Arkansas is huge for me and also love the LSU/Notre Dame Over as well which are 2 big plays coming up. GL and happy holidays.

Sorry for the delayed post. To be honest, trying our best to get these posted here at the forum. Have not posted at forums much outside of BTB in the past few years and focusing more on the Spooky guys and the website. Always check the website or feel free to email me. We have that up earlier, just with so many games hard to update everything here at Covers that quickly.

OLE MISS vs TCU
Wednesday, Dec. 31, 12:30 p.m. ET
ESPN
It’s
that time of year, we’re almost to 2014, and the biggest of the bowl
games to this point is set to kickoff on Wednesday, December 31st at
12:30pm EST. The game will be aired on ESPN, and features the TCU Horned
Frogs, who are still upset about missing out on the first-ever CFB
Playoff, against an Ole Miss Rebels team who looked like they could be
poised for a Playoff run themselves after starting the year out 7-0,
including a win over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Let’s get the preview and
pick for this one, and breakdown the game a bit more in-depth.
Ole Miss Led By Wallace
After rolling along to start the year, the Rebels dropped two straight,
and three of four games to lose out on any hopes of a Playoff showing.
They did knock off the Mississippi State Bulldogs to end the year, which
gave them a spot in this bowl. What was the most impressive part of the
Rebels’ 2014 season is that they were the top team in the entire
country in terms of points allowed per game at just 13.8. They were also
strong through the air passing, averaging 275.6 yards per game, which
is 31st in the nation. Bo Wallace led the way, throwing for 3,085 yards
and 22 touchdowns.
TCU Can Score Points
The Horned Frogs have to be upset about how far they fell after
dominating Iowa State in the final game of the season, 55-3. They were
an incredible 11-1 this season, and their lone loss came against the
Baylor Bears, in a game where they were ahead almost the entire time,
but lost a heartbreaker 61-58. They had some incredible wins and were
led by an incredibly talented quarterback themselves in Trevone Boykin,
who had an incredible 3,714 yards passing with 30 touchdowns, and also
rushed for 642 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. He literally
did everything asked of him, and he’s been a key to their success in
2014.
PICK
The
Cardinal comes in as two touchdown favorites, but I just don’t think
it’s enough. Stanford is just a far better team, and I have a ton of
faith in them, especially coming off of that win against UCLA. This is

This is a very, very tough game to call, and with the Tar Heels only laying a field goal, it’s not the best bet either way currently. While we expect Rutgers to be right there with the Heels, they could obviously pull the upset. We’ll come back closer to game time with a pick, but for now I’d be looking at the Scarlet Knights as the bet if I can get more than a field goal but will sit tight for the time being. Tough call in this game but its bowl season and I always play every game so lets take the points and buy another and roll with my old home state team.

The Knights are small favorites here, but I think their defense will just be too much for the Wolfpack. The Pack don’t have the type of pass game that can truly make life very tough on their opponent, and that’s what they’d need here. Central Florida wins this game by more than a touchdown, and I think this could end up being a very solid bet in the upcoming bowl season. A bit hesitant with this game even though it seems to be one of the better bets of bowl season, take them on the moneyline regardless. Lets hope our good run continues, Western Kentucky notwithstandings.

BOISE STATE vs ARIZONA
Wednesday, Dec. 31, 4:00 p.m. ET
ESPN
The
midday action for New Years Eve is poised to feature a great game in the
Boise State Broncos up against the Arizona Wildcats, both of which are
top 20 teams in the nation currently. Boise State comes into this one as
the 20th-ranked team in the country with an 11-2 record (7-1 in the
Mountain West), while Arizona is sitting at 10-3 this year with a 7-2
Pac-12 conference record. The Wildcats are the early favorites in this
one, but let’s take a look at a prediction and pick and break the game
down more in-depth.
Boise State and Ajayi Ready for Bowl Game
The Broncos two losses this year came in the first five games, sat his
team started out 3-2 to kick off the year, losing to Ole Miss and Air
Force, who are both in bowl games as well. Interestingly, both the
Broncos pass game and run game has been incredibly effective this year,
ranking in the top 30 in the nation. They also rank ninth overall in
total points for at 39.8 per game, showing just how talented this team
is on offense. Jay Ajayi, the Broncos’ stud junior running back has been
incredible this year, rushing for 1,689 yards with 25 total touchdowns.
Ajayi is going to be the man to watch in this game, but they have a
talented quarterback in Grant Hedrick who can get the job done as well.
Arizona Football Future is Bright
For Arizona, their losses were all incredibly respectable, as they fell
to USC, UCLA and Oregon. Arizona can also air it out well, averaging
277.7 yards per game, and they’ve had very little problem scoring the
ball also, averaging 34.8 points per game. Freshman running back Nick
Wilson has been strong, with 1,289 yards and 15 touchdowns, while Anu
Solomon, another freshman has led this team well, throwing for 3,458
yards, 27 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. Basically, the future
for Arizona football is incredible bright at this point thanks to their
young talented group of offensive players specifically.
PICK
The
Wildcats come in as three point favorites, but I think the underdog is
the bet here. Not only that, but I think that the Broncos get the job
done in impressive fashion. This is another game that has me thinking. I
like the Pac 12 and I could see Arizona blowing out Boise State but on
the other hand the numbers show Boise State as a big play. So lets roll
with the numbers and I’d recommend taking this team as the underdog, but
also taking them straight up on the money line and giving yourself a
shot at getting a nice return on your bet.

Wilson has been strong, with 1,289 yards and 15 touchdowns, while Anu
Solomon, another freshman has led this team well, throwing for 3,458
yards, 27 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. Basically, the future
for Arizona football is incredible bright at this point thanks to their
young talented group of offensive players specifically.
PICK
The
Wildcats come in as three point favorites, but I think the underdog is
the bet here. Not only that, but I think that the Broncos get the job
done in impressive fashion. This is another game that has me thinking. I
like the Pac 12 and I could see Arizona blowing out Boise State but on
the other hand the numbers show Boise State as a big play. So lets roll
with the numbers and I’d recommend taking this team as the underdog, but
also taking them straight up on the money line and giving yourself a
shot at getting a nice return on your bet.

#7 MISSISSIPPI STATE vs #12 GEORGIA TECH
Wednesday, Dec. 31, 8:00 p.m. ET
ESPN
The 2014 Capital One
Orange Bowl is one of the most anticipated games of the bowl season, at
least before New Years Day. This is the final bowl game of 2014, as
it’s the late-night kickoff at 8:00pm EST and will be aired on ESPN. The
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are the early underdogs against the
Mississippi State Bulldogs in this game of right around a touchdown. The
Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets both had huge years, and the Yellow Jackets
actually fell just short of taking down the ACC Championship in 2014
against the Florida State Seminoles.
Great Year for Mississippi State
For the Bulldogs, they went 10-2 on the year with a 6-2 SEC record. They
were the top team in the country for a while, but after a 9-0 start,
they lost two of three games, with losses against the Alabama Crimson
Tide and the Ole Miss Rebels to end the year. The man with the plan for
the Bulldogs? It has to be Dak Prescott, who has thrown for nearly 3,000
yards and 24 touchdowns, but also rushed for 939 yards and 13
touchdowns on the season. Until a few late season mediocre games,
Prescott was in the thick of the Heisman Trophy race. While Prescott has
been incredibly good this year, the defense has been even better, as
they allow just 19.4 points per game, which is the ninth best in the
nation.
Great Running Leads Yellowjackets
Georgia Tech on the other side, well, they are one of the best rushing
teams in the entire country, averaging 333.6 yards per game. They’ve
been simply stellar, and that rushing attack has turned into some big
scoring performances. The Yellow Jackets average 37 points per game,
which is 19th best in the nation. Justin Thomas, the sophomore
quarterback, is the man to watch, as he’s thrown for 1,594 yards with 17
touchdowns, but has 965 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns as
well. He’s a serious game changer and could be the man to lead the
upset.
PICK
The Bulldogs are
seven-point favorites, but they’ll get the job done. I’m projecting them
to win by double-digits, so I wouldn’t lay more than around a
touchdown. Mississippi State’s body of work, paired with their
incredible defense could make all the difference in the end. Prescott is
going to lead the way and make a statement to the country while doing
so.
