Can anyone tell me something about the company, Belk? Well, don’t worry, because they’re sponsoring a bowl game. We no longer live in the simple days of the Orange, Rose, Cotton, or Fiesta Bowl; we now have too many to count (and undoubtedly, too many teams that should not be in them). But, nonetheless, it’s bowl season!
It sure is a wonderful time of the year, the weather gets cold, you put up your Christmas tree or other Holiday decorations, and family comes to town, the celebration of another year ending… Yea, blah, blah, blah – we all know what men look forward to during the Holiday season, drinking beer and watching bowl games!
So while many of you sit around and attempt to fill out your bowl game selections for an office or friendly pool (not for money, of course) – here’s a helping hand. I did a little research on each game, some of these picks are backed by statistical facts, others on a hunch; and some just simply because I like or dislike a team (Huck the Fuskies). But, I like to believe I know a little bit about what I’m writing and picking. So, today likely being the last day you can make your picks – I figured I’d get into the Holiday giving spirit and help you out. Read em’ and weep, here are my picks for all 35 bowl games. A quick reminder; everyone’s spreads are different; these are the spreads from the pool that I am in. So the team I pick in each game does not necessarily mean I believe they will win – simply that they will cover the spread listed below. Enjoy:
