Bowl Picks 12/30

Yet to get things really going in college however I really like these picks today so let's see if these jumpstart a winning streak.

Top Picks

Navy/Middle Tenn St over 57
Texas +14.5 vs Oregon
Texas Tech +14 vs. ASU

Navy/MTSU- Both of these teams are offensive centric and both play contrasting styles which will lead this game to go over. When getting ready for this game, neither team will have been able to duplicate the other's offense. Navy of course runs the triple option and MTSU has an air attack. With that said, both teams know that they will need to go with their strengths to win and not count on getting defensive stops.

The game may start out a bit slow but both teams will get their offenses in gear and this one flies over.

Texas- Beyond the Mack Brown story line, the truth is that Oregon is not all that is cracked up to be this year. They have struggled against physical teams and Texas is both physical and fast. Texas will be able to get to the Duck's QB more than most teams and that will disrupt the Ducks offense significantly. Offensively, the Longhorns will control the clock with a mixture of running and play action. Look for the Ducks to get frustrated and if you are feeling chippy, think about taking the Longhorns on the money line.

Texas Tech- After a tremendous start, the Red Raiders hit a big wall and stumbled down the stretch. I like for T. Tech to get back to basics in this one for them to get their offense humming again. ASU was a Jekyll and Hyde team. They were tremendous at home but no so great when away from home. Motivation also favors T. Tech a bit in this one. ASU had their eyes on a bigger prize while T. Tech is thrilled to be back in the bowl mix.

It will be a bit scary but T. Tech will cover the 2 TD's.
