New Year's Day Bowl Picks Part 1

Happy New Year

Let's get right to the picks.

5 Star Play

LSU -8 vs Iowa

Top Plays

Wisconsin -1 vs S. Carolina
LSU -4.5 First Half vs Iowa
LSU over 14.5 Team Total first half

LSU- As we saw yesterday in the Miss St win, the SEC is loaded with talent all over and that comes out when they play other conferences. LSU was in the national championship mix for much of the year and is a really good team. The qb injury should be easily overcome with a month a practice and the passing is not really their strength anyways.

Iowa had a nice season but really is only in this game because of bowl tie ins. They did not really have a signature win in the big ten and struggled to beat teams like Northwestern. I am sure that Ferentz will have his team ready however there is a huge gap in talent and that will be evident early and often today.

Wisconsin- The badgers steadily improved all year and very easily could be heading to the Rose Bowl again this year if not for the timing of their game against Ohio St. S. Carolina has been up and down all year and i question their focus in this one. Their de facto team leader, Clowney has gotten in some trouble and is fully focused on the NFL now. Wisconsin will grind this one out and get the win.
