College Football Picks

Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Kentucky Wildcats 12/31/19

Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Kentucky Wildcats 12/31/19

One of the more competitive college bowl games goes off New Year’s Eve when the 8-4 Virginia Tech Hokies meet the 7-5 Kentucky Wildcats in the Belk Bowl. The records are even, the spread is fairly even and the public’s perception is even, however, Dan has a firm take on who covers the point spread.

Orange Bowl Pick: Florida vs. Virginia

Orange Bowl Pick: Florida vs. Virginia

The Virginia Cavaliers had a great college football season at 9-4, so why are they massive +14.5 underdogs to the Florida Gators in the Orange Bowl? Check out Dan’s pick to cover the spread in a game that is likely to be a blowout.

Rose Bowl Picks: Wisconsin Badgers vs. Oregon Ducks

Rose Bowl Picks: Wisconsin Badgers vs. Oregon Ducks

When you hear the words “Rose Bowl”, old guys from all over the country can’t help but reminisce about Keith Jackson’s stoic voice saying “Ah the Rose Bowl, the Grandaddy of them All!” This year’s contest should be a real doozy between two teams that were on the fringe for playing in the National Championship game. In all candidness, there are some games better watched and enjoyed than bet. This is one of them.

Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Baylor Pick

Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Baylor Pick

There’s a difference of opinion in the Predictem office on this one. Jay thinks the Georgia Bulldogs have enough tools in the shed to get it done. Others question Georgia’s motivtion to play their best in the Sugar Bowl after their National Championship hopes were crushed. At time of print, it’s not yet clear if D’Andre Swift will sit. My bet is he will.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Iowa State Cyclones Pick 12/28/19

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Iowa State Cyclones Pick 12/28/19

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish come into the Camping World Bowl as slight -3.5 favorites vs. the Iowa State Cyclones. If you’re a fan of trends, you’ll likely be wagering on ND as Iowa State defense that ranks nationally 66th against the pass, 52nd and six of the Cyclones seven wins came against FCS Northern Iowa, 5-7 UL Monroe and the bottom four teams in the Big 12. ISU is just 5-25 in their last 30 games against ranked teams. It’s hard to fade numbers like those!

Cotton Bowl Picks: Memphis vs. Penn State

Cotton Bowl Picks: Memphis vs. Penn State

It’s weird to see someone (Memphis) other than Central Florida represent the American Athletic Conferences’s best in the Cotton Bowl. The Tigers will get a Penn State Nittany Lions team that didn’t finish out the season very strong. Bookmakers are suspicious that Memphis has a shot to win this game straight up as they’re only a +7 underdog.

Michigan State vs. Wake Forest Pick 12/27/19

Michigan State vs. Wake Forest Pick 12/27/19

Two teams that don’t really deserve to be in a bowl game meet up in a baseball stadium trying to be a football stadium on December 27th as the Michigan State Spartans (6-6 SU, 3-9 ATS) meet up with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (8-4 SU, 5-6-1 ATS) in the Pinstripe Bowl. Keep a garbage can nearby to barf in while watching this one!

Military Bowl Picks: UNC vs. Temple Analysis & Prediction

Military Bowl Picks: UNC vs. Temple Analysis & Prediction

Weekday-daytime college football takes place (Yeah Baby!) on December 27th as the North Carolina Tar Heels (6-6 SU, 7-5 ATS) battle the Temple Owls (8-4 SU, 8-4 ATS) in the Military Bowl. Instead of talking about the game in this space, The Predictem family would like to give a HUGE Thank You and salute both active and retired military for the sacrifices you’ve made to make the United States the great country that it is.

Washington State Cougars vs. Air Force Falcons Pick 12/27/19

Washington State Cougars vs. Air Force Falcons Pick 12/27/19

The Cheez-It Bowl features a kind of weird matchup between the ground attack of Air Force vs. the aerial attack of the Washington State Cougars. When college football games feature a low point spread where it’s tough to pick a winner, it’s often times best to look at the total, which is what Wilson is doing here.

Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Eastern Michigan Eagles Pick ATS

Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Eastern Michigan Eagles Pick ATS

The ACC isn’t exactly a superpower in college football, but when matched up with a team from the MAC, there’s a huge indifference. The Pitt Panthers are simply better at every position than the Eastern Michigan Eagles. We make this point spread at -14.5 so will happily lay the eleven points, despite the game being played at Ford Field, only 36 miles away from the EMU campus.

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors vs. BYU Cougars Pick 12/24/19

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors vs. BYU Cougars Pick 12/24/19

BYU is usually a very focused team, so I don’t see the typical enamourment with all the good things that come with going to Hawaii being much of a distraction. The problem for BYU is that the Aloha Bowl is a home game for the Rainbow Warriors and they’re actually a pretty good team. I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but having watched numerous games on the island, weird things happen and opposing teams almost always seem to be on the wrong end of the stick with regards to penalties. Watch and you shall see!

UCF vs. Marshall Pick – Gasparilla Bowl Analysis & Predictions

UCF vs. Marshall Pick – Gasparilla Bowl Analysis & Predictions

Make no doubt about it, UCF is the superior college football team here. The question is will they be motivated enough to get up for this game vs. a lesser opponent in a lesser bowl game? Our answer is no. The Thundering Herd played well this season and are happy to be in this game. We’re happy getting +17 here, which is a key number in college football betting!

Holiday Bowl: USC vs. Iowa Pick

Holiday Bowl: USC vs. Iowa Pick

The 2019 Holiday Bowl should be a pretty good game. Both the USC Trojans and Iowa Hawkeyes come into the game with three straight wins. Sometimes the best handicapping angle for college bowl games is figuring out which team will be more motivated. Iowa is notorious for giving maximum effort regardless of what the situation entails. USC has had some instances in which they’ve lacked motivation. Check out Loot’s Holiday Bowl game prediction before placing your bets!

Sun Bowl Picks: Florida State vs. Arizona State

Sun Bowl Picks: Florida State vs. Arizona State

The Sun Bowl should be called the “Who Cares Bowl” as the Florida State Semioles and Arizona State Sun Devils meet up to do battle. These teams went 13-11 combined and neither had winning records against the spread. The difference maker here will likely be Jayden Daniels for ASU, who had 17 touchdowns vs. only 2 interceptions.

Fiesta Bowl: Clemson vs. Ohio State Pick 12/28

Fiesta Bowl: Clemson vs. Ohio State Pick 12/28

Undefeated conference champions meet up in the Fiesta Bowl where the Ohio State Buckeyes face the Clemson Tigers for the right to move on to NCAA football’s National Championship game on January 7th in Santa Clara, California. This is somewhat of a revenge game for OSU after they were blanked 31-0 in this spot back in 2016. Be sure to read Ted’s take for placing your bets on this game!
