Coach's Bowl Locks


Sorry about the late post, but I am about to lay the most locked picks of all time on you. Well maybe in my own mind anyway. You will just have to take my word for the Arizona and Utah State picks, but I did have them before the games were played. Listed below you will find in order the games will be played, my picks for the bowl season. No point spreads will be used. My picks will be in red and my confidence number in blue. A confidence number of 1 is lowest and 35 is highest level. So here we go.

I have a lot of fun with the blog site picking winners this year and finishing the regular season at over 65% against the spread, it was a good year. I will post my results as we progress throughout the bowl season before we move on to our analysis of the recruiting season. Thanks for reading and I look forward to your comments.

Watching the New Mexico Bowl

I don't know about everyone else but I sure do miss SEC football right about now. The bad angles and tackling in this game is very frustrating to watch. It's led to lots of offense but without a big hit or great defensive play every now and then I find it monotonous. Basically whoever has the ball last should win. Definitely looking forward to some better teams and match ups.
