Remaining College Bowl Picks

Well I decided since I have a little bit of time on my hands with break and because I did so well at picking games during the regular season (not really but let's just go with it), I'm going to challenge myself to pick against the spread for the remaining bowl games in college football. We'll start with the games this week and I'll come back next Sunday with picks for the remaining games.

Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl: Clemson (-6.5) over Kentucky

Advocare V100 Independence Bowl: Texas A&M (+7) over Georgia: I really like Texas A&M to not only cover the spread but to also win this game. Jerrod Johnson is extremely accurate and even though the Aggies lost to Texas, they played them extremely tight and should use that momentum heading into the Independence Bowl.

Eaglebank Bowl: UCLA (-4) over Temple

Champs Sports Bowl: Wisconsin (+3.5) over Miami (FL)

Roady's Humanitarian Bowl: Idaho (+2) over Bowling Green

Pacific Life Holiday Bowl: Nebraska over Arizona (Pick 'em)

Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl: Houston (-4.5) over Air Force

Brut Sun Bowl: Stanford (+9) over Oklahoma: Vegas has loved OU all season long with or without Sam Bradford and the line for the Sun Bowl is more of the same. Toby Gerhart has one foot out the door already and he'll need another strong performance to help his draft stock and I think he carries Stanford to a victory.

Texas Bowl: Missouri (-6.5) over Navy

Insight Bowl: Minnesota (-2.5) over Iowa State

Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Tennessee (+6) over Virginia Tech

Outback Bowl: Northwestern (+7) over Auburn

Capital One Bowl: Penn State (-2.5) over LSU

Konica Minolta Gator Bowl: Florida State (+2.5) over West Virginia

Rose Bowl presented by Citi: Ohio State (+4) over Oregon: This is one of the more intriguing bowl games this season, Oregon's offense against Ohio State's defense is the matchup to watch. I really think Ohio State has the speed to stay with the Ducks and should be a very entertaining game.

Nokia Sugar Bowl: Cincinnati (+12.5) over Florida: This line might change before the game actually kicks off with the news that Urban Meyer is stepping down due to health reasons but as of right now it's hard to pick this game. Both teams now face a situation where their coach has left or will leave and have a lot to prove. I think Florida wins this game but I don't think they will cover the spread seeing how angry Cincinnati was that Brian Kelly left them before the bowl game to go to Notre Dame and will look to prove to the nation that they don't need Kelly to succeed.

International Bowl: South Florida (-7) over Northern Illinois

Papajohns.com Bowl: South Carolina (-4.5) over Connecticut

AT&T Cotton Bowl: Oklahoma State (+3) over Mississippi: This is a game neither school thought they'd be playing in back in the beginning of the season but both OSU and Ole Miss were inconsistent all season. I think Mississippi has been more inconsistent than Oklahoma State and that's why I like the Cowboys in this game.

Autozone Liberty Bowl: Arkansas (-7.5) over East Carolina

Valero Alamo Bowl: Texas Tech (-8) over Michigan State
