GILDAN NEW MEXICO BOWL
Dec. 17, 2011 | 2:00 PM ET ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.

Temple
(8-4, 5-3 MAC)
Vs.
Wyoming
(8-4, 5-2 MWC

Prediction: I like Temples rushing attack and overall defense  , only allowing 13.8 points a game. Wyoming is averaging 27 PPG. They are a running team which I think works in Temples favor. 
My Pick: Temple W

ESPN R+L CARRIERS NEW ORLEANS BOWL
Dec. 17, 2011 | 9:00 PM ET NEW ORLEANS

SDSU
(8-4, 4-3 MWC)
vs.
La Lafayette
(8-4, 6-2 Sun Belt)

My Thoughts: La Lafayette's defense has given up over 29.8 PPG, the Cajuns rush defense gave up over 150 rushing yards 6 times this years. Ronnie Hillman RB for SDSU rushed for over 6 times and scored multiple TD's in 7 games. He should have a great day rushing.

Prediction: SDSU L

Dec. 21, 2011 | 8:00 PM ET SAN DIEGO

TCU
(10-2, 7-0 MWC)
vs.
La Tech
(8-4, 6-1 WAC)

My Thoughts: La. Tech has been hot as of late winning their last 7 games. Tech doesn't really have a quality win. TCU comes into the game AVG. over 40 PPG. La Tech gave up 35 to Houston and 44 to Hawaii in losses.

Prediction: TCU W

Dec. 24, 2011 | 8:00 PM ET HONOLULU

Nevada
(7-5, 5-2 WAC)
vs.
So Miss
(11-2, 6-2 C-USA)

My thoughts: USM is the C-USA Champ. Coming off a win vs, Houston in the tittle game. Nevada is a run oriented team. USM defense has been stout against the run only giving up 3.1 YDS per Carry. 

Prediction: Southern Miss. W

Dec. 30, 2011 | 12:00 PM ET DALLAS

BYU
(9-3)
vs.
Tulsa
(8-4, 7-1 C-USA)

My Thoughts: Tulsa comes into the game 23rd in points scored and rushing YDS per game. BYU comes into the game only giving up 20.3 PPG, but they haven't faced many high powered offenses. 

Prediction: Tulsa L

Dec. 30, 2011 | 6:40 PM ET NASHVILLE, TENN.

Miss St
(6-6, 2-6 SEC)
vs.
W Forest
(6-6, 5-3 ACC)

My Thoughts: Miss. St. is only giving up 18 PPG. The Bulldogs rushing attack should dominate the Wake D. In 5 of Wakes 6 losses, over 175 rushing YDS.

Prediction: Miss St. W

ESPN MEINEKE CAR CARE BOWL OF TEXAS
Dec. 31, 2011 | 12:00 PM ET HOUSTON

Texas A&M
(6-6, 4-5 Big 12)
vs.
N'western
(6-6, 3-5 Big Ten)

My Thoughts: A&M is playing in Houston, basically a home game for them. The Aggie's high powered offenses should be to much for Northwestern to handle. In 5 of 6 losses the Wildcats gave up over 30 points. 

Prediction: Texas A&M W

ABC AutoZone LIBERTY BOWL
Dec. 31, 2011 | 3:30 PM ET MEMPHIS, TENN.

Cincy
(9-3, 5-2 Big East)
vs.
Vanderbilt
(6-6, 2-6 SEC)

My Thoughts: One of the tougher games to pick to this point. Collaros is back for UC. 4 of Vandy's losses have been under a touchdown. TO's will probally determine the winner of this game. 

Prediction: Vanderbilt L

ESPN Chick-fil-A BOWL
Dec. 31, 2011 | 7:30 PM ET ATLANTA

Virginia
(8-4, 5-3 ACC)
vs.
Auburn
(7-5, 4-4 SEC)

My Thoughts: One positive this season for Auburn is their rushing attack. Negative for this game is Dyer is out. They are deep at the position, but id rather see Dyer on the field. Virginia's rushing attack and D should be able to control the clock. 

Prediction: Virginia L

(6-6, 5-3 C-USA)

My Thoughts: Marshall is 2-5 in road games/neutral sites. FIU is 4-2 on the road/neutral sites. Marshall is giving up over 30 PPG.T.Y. Hilton should have a solid game.

Arizona St
(6-6, 4-5 Pac-12)
vs.
Boise St
(11-1, 6-1 MWC)

My Thoughts: I was high on ASU, just check out my pre-season predictions. Then the disappointing end of the season came, 4 losses in a row. Plain and simple Boise is going to win this game. 

 Predictions: Boise St. W

Missouri
(7-5, 5-4 Big 12)
vs.

Rutgers
(8-4, 4-3 Big East)
vs.
Iowa St
(6-6, 3-6 Big 12)

My thoughts: Rutgers D has only given up 18 PPG. But in their last 3 losses giving up 175 or more rushing yds. Iowa St. rushing attack should dominate time of possession. Iowa should be able to with stand the passing attack of the Knights. 

Prediction: Iowa St. L

ESPN INSIGHT BOWL
Dec. 30, 2011 | 10:00 PM ET TEMPE, ARIZ.

Iowa
(7-5, 4-4 Big Ten)
vs.
Oklahoma
(9-3, 6-3 Big 12)

My Thoughts: Landry Jones and OU's passing attack will be tough to for Iowa to stop. Michigan States cousin's passed for over 250 YDS and 3 TD's. Landry should match those stats. 


Prediction: Oklahoma W

Ga Tech
(8-4, 5-3 ACC)
vs.

Prediction: Ga Tech L

(12-1, 8-0 C-USA)
vs.

(9-3, 6-2 Big Ten)

Houston is #1 in scoring, but looking at their schedule its hard to find a defense that would of stopped them. Penn State has only allowed 15 PPG. Only Northwestern threw for over 300 YDS and they only had one passing TD.

Prediction: Penn State L
