It’s another great day of bowl action with four games on the docket for today. Here’s our preview and picks.  PITT v. Northwestern -4.5, in the Pinstripe Bowl: Northwestern started strong but faded down the stretch and really struggled defensively in the month of November.  The Wildcats are well coached in all three phases but they will have a hard time matching up against a Pitt offense that can run and…

Mike Leach and the Washington State Cougars have their sites on a Holiday Bowl trophy.  Army at North Texas +10.5, in the Heart of Dallas Bowl: I like North Texas in this game as a heavy underdog.

For Whom the Bell Towles: Fifth year senior quarterback Patrick Towles played one of his better  games of the season finishing 10/22 151 yards and two touchdown passes.  Towles has put up better numbers this…

Towles needs…

Every team in today’s bowl games with the exception of Mississippi State has a 6-6 record.  Miami (OH) v. Mississippi State -15 in the St. Petersburg Bowl: Despite winning six in a row to get to this game, I like Mississippi State over Miami of Ohio in this one. The Bulldogs are the better team. -15 is a big number for a 5-7 team to be favored but Miami can’t match…
