Tostitos Fiesta Bowl

UConn Huskies vs #7 Oklahoma Sooners

Saturday January 1, 2010 8:30 PM EST

Line: Oklahoma -16

UConn finished their season on a 5 game winning streak. They did not play a ranked opponent all year and are in for a big test vs a tough Oklahoma team. Oklahoma won their final 4 games, 2 of which were vs ranked opponents.

Stats to consider:

UConn Huskies:

  • UConn is 8-4.
  • Points for  per game: 26.9 (62nd)
  • Points against per game: 19.8 (23rd)
  • Passing yards a game: 145.1 (112th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 179.9 (31st)

Oklahoma Sooners:

  • Oklahoma is 11-2.
  • Points for per game: 36.4 (17th)
  • Points against per game: 21.9 (35th)
  • Passing yards a game: 336.8 (4th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 141.3 (76th)

What to watch for:

  • UConn Junior RB Jordan Todman has rushed for 1,574 yards and 14 TDs.
  • Sooners Sophomore QB Landry Jones has thrown for 4,289 yards 35 TDs and 14 Ints. His main target has been Junior WR Ryan Broyles who leads the team with 118 catches 1,452 yards and 13 TDs.
  • Sooners Senior RB DeMarco Murray has rushed for 1,121 yards and 14 TDs. He has 69 catches for 595 yards and 5 TDs.

This is one of the easiest sports picks of the week. Oklahoma is by far the better team. Not only that, but they have actually been tested this year as they have played 5 ranked opponents compared to UConn’s 0. UConn is all about the running game, and if the Sooners can shut down RB Jordan Todman, UConn will struggle putting any points on the board.

Rose Bowl Game

#5 Wisconsin Badgers vs #3 TCU Horned Frogs

Saturday January 1, 2010 4:30 PM EST

Line: TCU -3

Wisconsin scored a total of 201 points in their final 3 games combined. They got on a late season roll and carry into this game a 7 game winning streak. TCU was flawless on the season, but their big wins were over Utah who faltered late and Oregon State who ended up losing to Washington State who hadn’t won a Pac-10 game all year.

Stats to consider:

Wisconsin Badgers:

  • Wisconsin is 11-1.
  • Points for per game: 43.3 (4th)
  • Points against per game: 20.5 (29th)
  • Passing yards a game: 202.8 (73rd)
  • Rushing yards a game: 247.3 (12th)

TCU Horned Frogs:

  • TCU is 12-0.
  • Points for per game: 43.3 (4th)
  • Points against per game: 11.4 (1st)
  • Passing yards a game: 230.3 (53rd)
  • Rushing yards a game: 261.2 (7th)

What to watch for:

  • Wisconsin Freshman RB James White has rushed for 1,029 yards and 14 TDs. Junior RB John Clay has 936 yards and 13 TDs.
  • Wisconsin Senior QB Scott Tolzien has thrown for 2,300 yards 16 TDs and 6 Ints.
  • TCU Senior QB Andy Dalton has thrown for 2,638 yards 26 TDs and 6 Ints.
  • TCU Sophomore RB Ed Wesley has rushed for 1,065 yards and 11 TDs. He has 170 receiving yards and 3 TDs.

This sports pick is simple to me because I believe that TCU is the most overrated team in college football. Wisconsin was the hottest team to finish the season. TCU didn’t play anyone who you could say is tough. TCU is in for a big surprise and this should be a rough way to end the season for the Horned Frogs. Look for the Wisconsin running game to control this game.

Progressive Gator Bowl

#21 Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Michigan Wolverines

Saturday January 1, 2010 1:30 PM EST

Line: Miss St -4.5

The Bulldogs won their final game of the season after losing the previous 2. Their 2 loses came at the hands of SEC ranked opponents. Michigan got thumped vs 2 ranked teams in their final 2 games. 4 of their 5 loses came at the hands of ranked opponents.

Stats to consider:

Miss State Bulldogs:

  • The Bulldogs are 8-4.
  • Points for per game: 27.1 (56th)
  • Points against per game: 20.3 (27th)
  • Passing yards a game: 178.6 (93rd)
  • Rushing yards a game: 215.8 (16th)

Michigan Wolverines:

  • Michigan is 7-5.
  • Points for per game: 34.3 (21st)
  • Points against per game: 33.8 (102nd)
  • Passing yards a game: 249.8 (37th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 251.1 (10th)

What to watch for:

  • Bulldogs Junior RB Vick Ballard leads the team with 892 yards and 16 TDs.
  • Miss St Junior QB Chris Relf has thrown for 1,508 yards 10 TDs and 5 Ints. He has ran for 683 yards and 4 TDs.
  • Without a doubt the player to watch for in this one is Michigan Sophomore QB Denard Robinson. Robinson has thrown for 2,316 yards 16 TDs and 10 Ints. He has rushed for 1,643 yards and 14 TDs.

This football pick will come down to Michigan QB Denard Robinson. Miss State’s defense has been really solid this year and that could spell trouble for the Michigan offense. The Michigan defense is one of the worst in college football and should struggle to contain the Bulldogs running game.

Outback Bowl

Florida Gators vs Penn State Nittany Lions

Saturday January 1, 2010 1:00 PM EST

Line: Florida -7

Florida lost their final game of the season vs Florida State 31-7. 4 of their 5 loses came at the hands of ranked teams, and this is the final game for Urban Meyer as he is going to take a break from coaching. On the other side of the football Joe Pa will never take a break from coaching. Penn State ended their season on a 28-22 loss to Michigan State. 4 of their 5 loses were to ranked opponents as well.

Stats to consider:

Florida Gators:

  • Florida is 7-5.
  • Points for per game: 29.3 (46th)
  • Points against per game: 21.1 (32nd)
  • Passing yards a game: 191.3 (85th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 165.6 (46th)

Penn State Nittany Lions:

  • Penn State is 7-5.
  • Points for per game: 24.6 (81st)
  • Points against per game: 22.6 (39th)
  • Passing yards a game: 231.3 (52nd)
  • Rushing yards a game: 142.8 (75th)

What to watch for:

  • Florida Junior RB Jeffery Demps leads the team with 531 yards and 3 TDs. Freshman QB Trey Burton has 347 yards and 11 TDs.
  • Florida Junior QB John Brantley leads the team with 2,020 yards 9 TDs and 9 Ints.
  • Penn State Senior RB Evan Royster leads all backs with 916 yards and 6 TDs.
  • Penn State Sophomore QB Matthew McGloin has thrown for 1,337 yards 13 TDs and 4 Ints. Junior WR Derek Moye leads all WRs with 806 yards and 7 TDs.

This is actually one of the tougher football picks of the bowl season. Penn State has better offensive options, while the Florida defense is a bit better. This is Urban Meyer’s final game as he is stepping away after this season. He will have his team well prepared, and they should play at a very high level for their coack.

New Orleans Hornets (18-14) vs. Boston Celtics (24-6)

Friday, December 31st, 2010 3:00PM EST

Line: Boston -6.5

Overview:

  • The Celtics are coming off a terrible loss to the lowly Detroit Pistons. Boston is beginning to struggle through the injuries their star players are undergoing. Now with both Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo out, the Celtics will rely on their wing men in Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Glen Davis.
  • Boston is 15th in the league in scoring this season, they will continue to see their scoring load come from their seasoned vet in Paul Pierce. The 12-year-vet is averaging 18.8 points and 5.1 assists per game this season.
  • The Hornets have lost four out of their last six games heading into this one. The struggling group is coming off back-to-back losses to the Wolves and the Lakers. New Orleans is fourth in points allowed this season.
  • Emeka Okafor will need to take advantage of the absence of Garnett for the Celtics. Okafor is averaging 10.4 points and 9.6 rebounds per game this season. David West tweaked his ankle in the team’s game last night against the Lakers, but expect the scoring forward to suit up for this one.

Game Forecast:

The Celtics remain as favorites heading into this matchup against the Hornets, they will need big plays coming from their role players. The Hornets are ranked 15th this season in rebounds per game, so they shouldn’t have a hard time with Boston’s depleted front court.

Philadelphia 76ers (13-19) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (22-10)

Friday, December 31st, 2010 10:30PM EST

Line: Los Angeles -9.5

Overview:

  • The Lakers are coming off a huge win over the New Orleans Hornets, Odom had a game-high of 24 points. The Lakers were suffering a three-game losing streak before finally pulling out the 103-88 victory over the Hornets.
  • Pau Gasol did much better when playing last night, scoring 11 points and pulling down 12 boards. The 30-year-old forward is averaging 18.9 points and 11 boards per game this season.
  • Philadelphia is 6-4 in their last ten games, they’re doing fairly well throughout their eight-game road trip, winning big games against Orlando, Denver and Phoenix last night. Jrue Holiday helped the Sixers get their 13th win last night against the Suns, scoring 25 points and dishing seven assists.
  • Sixers’ rookie, Evan Turner has had his rough outings while playing in Philadelphia. But Turner finally had his breakout performance in the Sixers’ win over Phoenix, shooting 9/12 for a career-high of 23 points. Expect Turner to log in heavy minutes as Andre Iguodala’s status remains in the air.

Game Forecast:

Philadelphia put a scare to the Lakers when they faced off less than two weeks ago. This time around, the Lakers will be at home and are looking to get back on track to how they’ve started their season. Philadelphia has been playing good basketball as of late, expect them to put a scare to the Lakers.

San Antonio Spurs (27-4) vs. Dallas Mavericks (24-6)

Thursday, December 30th, 2010 9:30PM EST

Line: San Antonio -3

Overview:

  • The Spurs proved themselves well on Tuesday by defeating the Lakers, 97-82. Tony Parker led the team with his 23 points, while DeJuan Blair pulled down 15 boards. The Spurs are doing great around the glass this season, ranking eighth in rebounding.
  • The Spurs are fourth in the league in scoring, averaging 105.9 points per game this season. Their leading scorer is Manu Ginobili, who’s averaging 19.1 points per game. The last time these two teams met, Dallas prevailed with a nine-point victory.
  • The Mavericks are expected to be without their star player in Dirk Nowitzki in this game. The forward was putting up an average of 24 points for the team this season. Players such as Brian Cardinal and Shawn Marion should expect to see more minutes in this one.
  • Shawn Marion is averaging 10.8 points and 6.1 rebounds this season while coming off the bench. The Mavericks will have to rely on their scoring guard, Jason Terry, who had 18 points and six assists in the team’s recent loss to Toronto.

Game Forecast:

Dallas is short-handed tremendously heading into this matchup against the Spurs. They will have the luxury of playing at home but will need a strong effort from their role players. The Spurs should be able to pick up their 28th win of the season through their work in the front court.

Capital One Bowl

#16 Alabama Crimson Tide vs #9 Michigan State Spartans

Saturday January 1, 2011 1:00 PM EST

Line: Alabama -10

Alabama nearly ended their season with a win over Auburn 28-27. They played a total of 7 ranked teams, and were 4-3. Michigan State won their final 3 games. They played 3 ranked teams on the season, and went 2-1.

Stats to consider:

Alabama Crimson Tide:

  • Alabama is 9-3.
  • Points for per game: 34.6 (21st)
  • Points against per game: 14.1 (5th)
  • Passing yards a game: 260.3 (28th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 175.3 (36th)

Michigan State Spartans:

  • The Spartans are 11-1.
  • Points for per game: 31.3 (39th)
  • Points against per game: 20.1 (26th)
  • Passing yards a game: 237.8 (44th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 168.8 (39th)

What to watch for:

  • Alabama Senior QB Greg McElroy has thrown for 2,767 yards 19 TDs and 5 Ints. Junior WR Julio Jones has 1,084 yards and 7 TDs.
  • Defending Heisman Trophy Winner Bama Junior RB Mark Ingram has rushed for 816 yards and 11 TDs. He also has 252 receiving yards and another TD.
  • Michigan State Junior QB Kirk Cousins has thrown for 2,705 yards 20 TDs and 9 Ints.
  • Spartans Sophomore RB Edwin Baker has rushed for 1,187 yards and 13 TDs.

This football pick looks tough on paper. Alabama is by far the better football pick in this one. They will come into this game very mad they are not playing in the national championship game. This is their national championship game, and they know they can win. They have been tested by ranked opponents 7 times, while Michigan State has only been tested by ranked opponents 3 times. Look for Bama to dominate on offense and defense. Roll Tide…

Northwestern Wildcats vs Texas Tech Red Raiders

Saturday January 1, 2011 12:00 PM EST

Line: Texas Tech -9

Northwestern lost their starting QB for the last 2 games of the season, and it showed. They lost vs Illinois 48-27 then lost at #7 Wisconsin 70-23. Texas Tech went out and won their final 2 games.

Stats to consider:

Northwestern Wildcats:

  • Northwestern is 7-5.
  • Points for per game: 25.4 (74th)
  • Points against per game: 27.7 (68th)
  • Passing yards a game: 242.6 (40th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 149.8 (68th)

  • Points against per game: 30.3 (85th)
  • Passing yards a game: 314.8 (8th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 137.8 (82nd)

This football pick is all Texas Tech. Northwestern would stand toe to toe if they had starting QB Dan Persa. They don’t, and I would expect them to struggle mightily. The player to watch in this one is Texas Tech Senior QB Taylor Potts who has 3,357 yards 31 TDs and 9 Ints. Texas Tech will be too much on offense for this Northwestern team.

#20 South Carolina Gamecocks vs #23 Florida State Seminoles

Friday December 31, 2010 7:30 PM EST

Line: South Carolina -3

South Carolina had a 3 game winning streak going into the SEC Championship game. Then they faced Auburn in the SEC Championship game and lost 56-17. The same applied to Florida State in that they had a 3 game winning streak then lost 44-33 to Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game.

Stats to consider:

South Carolina Gamecocks:

  • The Gamecocks are 9-4.
  • Points for per game: 32 (34th)
  • Points against per game: 22.9 (45th)
  • Passing yards a game: 235.6 (46th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 155.5 (60th)

  • Points for per game: 31.8 (37th)
  • Points against per game: 19.8 (24th)
  • Passing yards a game: 219.1 (62nd)
  • Rushing yards a game: 167.8 (42nd)

What to watch for:

  • South Carolina Junior QB Stephen Garcia has thrown for 2,816 yards 20 TDs and 11 Ints. Sophomore WR Alshon Jeffery is a pro prospect who has 1,387 yards and 9 TDs. He is an Andre Johnson type of WR.
  • Gamecocks Freshman RB Marcus Lattimore has rushed for 1,198 yards and 17 TDs. He also has 364 receiving yards and 2 TDs.
  • Seminoles Senior QB Christian Ponder has thrown for 2,038 yards 20 TDs and 8 Ints.

This football pick will come down to the performance each team gets out of their starting QBs. South Carolina has a nice star trio at QB RB and WR. South Carolina played 6 ranked teams, going 3-3. Florida State played 3 ranked teams, going 1-2. I like what South Carolina brings to the table.

Line: Georgia -6.5

Georgia finished their season winning 5 of their last 7. They nearly upset Auburn before the end of the season, but collapsed in the second half. UCF finished with a 3 game winning streak, but did not play a ranked team all year.

Stats to consider:

  • Points against per game: 23.1 (49th)

  • Georgia Sophomore RB Washaun Ealey has 751 yards and 11 TDs.
  • UCF Junior RB Ronnie Weaver has 890 yards and 11 TDs.

Football picks do tend to come down to conferences. The SEC is arguably the best conference in college football. Look at the schedule of both teams. UCF has played NC State, Kansas State, and East Carolina. Georgia has played Auburn, Arkansas, and South Carolina. Look for that to show up in this bowl game.

Sports picks are often decided by how athletic the team is. Miami has a ton of talent, and their defense is very good. Jacory Harris has a leg up on the Freshman Tommy Rees. Look for Miami to come out and put a bunch of pressure on the Freshman.

New York Knicks (18-13) vs. Orlando Magic (20-12)
Thursday, December 20th, 2010 7:00PM EST

Line: Orlando -7.5

Overview

  • Orlando has been able to cruise past teams such as San Antonio and Boston throughout their four-game winning streak. They are coming off a 15-point beating over Cleveland.
  • Orlando will become one of the best teams in the league when it comes to the three-point shot. The Magic were able to knock down 19 three’s in last night’s win. Players such as Arenas, Turkoglu, Richardson and Nelson can all bury the three.
  • The Knicks were stopped again by the Miami Heat last night, they will look to redeem themselves in another eastern competitor. New York is 20th in the leauge in rebounding this season.
  • Raymond Felton has been in top form this season for the Knicks. The 26-year-old point guard is averaging 18.2 points and nine assists per game this season for New York.

Game Forecast:
The Magic seem to have found a nice flow on offense behind their perimeter players. Orlando will have plenty of weapons to outmatch New York’s defense, which is allowing 106.5 points per game this season. But the Knicks should be able to avoid a blowout loss despite being away from home.

Line: Clemson -5.5

USF lost 2 of their last 3 following a 3 game winning streak. Clemson also lost 2 of their last 3 and had their struggles over the season.

Stats to consider:

  • Points against per game: 19.5 (19th)
  • Passing yards a game: 162.5 (101st)

  • Points against per game; 17.8 (9th)
  • Passing yards a game: 191.4 (84th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 146.4 (73rd)

This football pick is tough because these two teams are so similar. They both have below average offenses ranking outside the top 80 in scoring, while their defenses rank inside the top 20. The Clemson defense ranks inside the top 10 giving them the edge. The player to watch in this one is Clemson Sophomore RB Adre Ellington who leads the team with 686 yards and 10 TDs.

Line: Nebraska -14

The Cornhuskers did lose 2 of their final 3, albeit to 2 ranked teams. Not only that, but their star QB was dinged up near the end of the season and the rest should help out a lot. Washington won their final 3 games after losing 3 straight to ranked opponents.

  • Nebraska Senior RB Roy Helu Jr. has rushed for 1,211 yards and 11 TDs.
  • Washington Senior QB Jake Locker has thrown for 2,209 yards 17 TDs and 9 Ints.
  • Washington Sophomore RB Chris Polk leads his team with 1,238 yards and 8 TDs.

This is actually one of the easier sports picks of the week. Washington was a huge under performer, while Nebraska really got rolling behind their Freshman star QB. The fact that Martinez should be healthy will be huge for the Cornhuskers. Washington will have trouble keeping up with Nebraska as the Cornhuskers defense is in the top 10.

Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl

UNC Tar Heels vs Tennessee Volunteers

Thursday December 30, 2010 6:40 PM EST

Line: UNC -1

UNC went 3-3 in their final 6 games. They were seriously hurt when they had multiple suspensions affect their season. Tennessee on the other hand won their final 4 games after losing the previous 4.

Stats to consider:

UNC Tar Heels:

  • UNC is 7-5.
  • Points for per game: 24.9 (79th)
  • Points against per game: 22.9 (43rd)
  • Passing yards a game: 266.5 (25th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 123.6 (94th)

Tennessee Volunteers:

  • Tennessee is 6-6.
  • Points for per game: 27 (60th)
  • Points against per game: 24.7 (54th)
  • Passing yards a game: 249.8 (37th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 116.1 (100th)

What to watch for:

  • UNC Senior QB T.J. Yates has thrown for 3,184 yards 18 TDs and 8 Ints. His main target has been Junior WR Dwight Jones who leads the team with 895 yards and 4 TDs.
  • Tennessee Junior RB Tauren Poole leads both teams with 994 yards and 11 TDs.

Both teams had below average seasons making this a tough football pick. Both teams had their ups and downs which should make for a good matchup. UNC has a leg up in scoring defense, and that could be the difference in this one. Neither team will put up huge points so this one will come down to defense.

New Era Pinstripe Bowl

Kansas State Wildcats vs Syracuse Orange

Thursday December 30, 2010 3:20 PM EST

Line: Pick

Kansas State struggled near the end of their season losing 4 of their final 6. 3 of the loses were on the road, and 2 were vs ranked opponents. Syracuse ended their season on a 2 game losing streak.

Stats to consider:

Kansas State Wildcats:

  • The Wildcats are 7-5.
  • Points for per game: 33.6 (25th)
  • Points against per game: 28.5 (73rd)
  • Passing yards a game: 172.8 (97th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 206 (20th)

Syracuse Orange:

  • Syracuse is 7-5.
  • Points for per game; 21 (99th)
  • Points against per game: 18.1 (13th)
  • Passing yards a game: 178 (92nd)
  • Rushing yards a game: 130.3 (88th)

What to watch for:

  • Wildcats Senior RB Daniel Thomas leads his team with 1,495 yards and 16 TDs.
  • Orange Senior RB Delone Carter leads his squad with 1,035 yards and 7 TDs.

These two teams are opposite making this one of the tougher football picks. Syracuse has a solid defense ranking inside the top 15, but their offense has been horrible this year at gaining yards and putting up points. Kansas State has a stellar offense minus a passing game, but their defense is very soft and could struggle vs the Orange running game lead by Delone Carter. Defense wins championship, and I think that Syracuse will have the defense in this one to hold Kansas State.

New Jersey Nets (9-22) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (21-11)

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 8:00PM EST

Line: Oklahoma City -9

Overview:

  • The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off a ten-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks, Kevin Durant had a team-high of 28 points in the game. Oklahoma City is seventh in the league in scoring this season.
  • The Thunder were able to defeat the Nets earlier this month in triple overtime without their star player, Kevin Durant. Look for Westbrook to return for the team’s game against New Jersey, despite suffering an injury in Monday’s game. Westbrook is averaging 22.4 points and 8.1 assists this season.
  • New Jersey suffered their 22nd lost on Monday to the Orlando Magic, losing 104-88. The team’s starting point guard, Devin Harris has been able to put up strong numbers all season for the Nets. He’s been logging in heavy minutes and had 24 points in the team’s last game.
  • The Nets are 28th in the league in scoring and 17th in rebounding. They’ve lost their last two games heading into this game and are sitting dead last in their division.

Game Forecast:

The Thunder should be able to put up good points against New Jersey. Oklahoma City posses plenty of advantages when matching up against the Nets’ starters. The Nets have also lost by more than 14 in their last two games.

Golden State Warriors (12-18) vs. Atlanta Hawks (20-13)

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 7:00PM EST

Line: Even

Overview:

  • The Golden State Warriors have won their last three games heading into this one. Most of their recent play has been headlined by their star guard in Monta Ellis. The 6’3’’ shooting guard had 22 points and 12 assists in the team’s recent win over Philadelphia.
  • The Warriors are ninth in the league in scoring this season, their two guards in Ellis and Stephen Curry have kept the team also ninth in assists per game this season. The team is also 15th this season in rebounds per game.
  • The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a 15-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. The team was led by Al Horford’s 18 points. Horford leads the team in rebounding this season, averaging 9.6 this season.
  • The Hawks have done very well on defense this season, and are seventh in the league in points allowed. The team has struggled around the glass, averaging only 40.5 rebounds per game this season.

Game Forecast:

Both teams have looked good as of late and contain explosive offensive players. The Atlanta Hawks possess a much better defensive effort here but the Golden State Warriors have been sizzling as of late, and could take down Atlanta if they make some stops.

Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl

Army Black Knights vs Southern Methodist Mustangs

Thursday December 30, 2010 12:00 PM EST

Line: SMU -7

Army ended their season on a 2 game losing streak, playing on neutral sites. SMU lost their final game of the season at UCF, but had a 2 game winning streak before that game.

Stats to consider:

Army Black Knights:

  • Army is 6-6.
  • Points for per game: 27.5 (56th)
  • Points against per game: 25.2 (57th)
  • Passing yards a game: 82.1 (120th)
  • Rushing yards a game: 256 (10th)

SMU Mustangs:

  • SMU is 7-6.
  • Points for per game; 26.6 (66th)
  • Points against per game: 26.4 (61st)
  • Passing yards a game: 273.8 (22nd)
  • Rushing yards a game: 140.9 (78th)

What to watch for:

  • Army Sophomore FB Jared Hassin leads the team with 931 yards and 9 TDs.
  • Army Sophomore QB Trent Steelman has thrown for 965 yards 7 TDs and 3 Ints. He has rushed for 694 yards and 11 TDs.
  • SMU Sophomore QB Kyle Padron has thrown for 3,526 yards 29 TDs and 12 Ints. His main target has been Senior WR Aldrick Robinson who leads the team with 1,225 yards and 13 TDs. Junior WR Cole Beasley is 2nd with 1,036 yards and 6 TDs.
  • SMU Sophomore RB Zach Line leads the team with 1,391 yards and 10 TDs.

This football pick looks simple to me. All SMU has to do to win this game is shut down the Army running game. That is exactly what happened when Army lost their final 2 games of the year. If you stack the box against Army, they will struggle as their passing game is worst in college football. This SMU offense is also very solid and should be able to put up a 30 spot against this average Army defense.

Free College Football Pick: SMU -7
