After a little inactivity, the blog returns with picks each day of bowl games, against the spread of course. From the Gildan New Mexico Bowl to the BCS title game. The benefit of this glut of games is that I learn about these brave corporate sponsors and what it is they do. For example, Gildan is some sort of underwear manufacturer.
New Mexico Bowl
Temple -7 v. Wyoming
Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
Utah State -2 v. Ohio
New Orleans Bowl
San Diego State -4 v. Louisiana-Lafayette
Wyoming finished a surprising 3rd in the Mountain West this year, despite having the nation's 115th-ranked defense. Temple has Dr. Bernard Pierce at running back, and should cap a fine season with Temple's first bowl win since 1979. I think all the close losses to better teams pay off for Utah State this post season. ULLAF is essentially playing a home game, and Mark Hudspeth is a name to keep an eye on as coach, taking a team picked to finish last in the Sun Belt to their first bowl game since joining 1-A, but San Diego State is far superior athletically.
Bonus pick:
Wayne State, Detroit's only college football team, has made a Cinderella run through the Division 2 playoffs and has made the final v. Pittsburg State. From what I read, midnight is about to strike.
Pittsburg State -10.5 v. Wayne State
