Champs Sports Bowl: Orlando, FL, USA, 12/28/10, 3:30pm
West Virginia (9-3) v. NC State (8-4)
WVU favored by 3
No ones really sold on the Big East this year, and the Mountaineers do not escape this criticism. This team lost to a super-overrated LSU, Syracuse (not their basketball team) and UConn. Not impressing me. Noel Devine is the only reason, to me, that they have a shot.
That being said, I've never really been a huge Wolfpack believer. The ACC didn't have an amazing year, but there was an amazing amount of parity, which I think gives them the edge in this game.
The pick: NC State
The line: Give me points, please.
Insight Bowl: Tempe, AZ, USA, 12/28/10, 7pm
Missouri (10-2) v. Iowa (7-5)
Missouri favored by 3
If not for back to back slip-ups at Oklahoma and Texas Tech, the Tigers would be in the National Championship conversation. Granted, they probably wouldn't garner much support from me, but it would be warranted.
Iowa always seems to get in these games and surprise people. I wouldn't be shocked if the Hawkeyes run it all night and stymie Missouri's statement game.
The pick: Missouri - Their ability to bounce back after those costly losses to win the last three games of the season leads me to believe they won't be letting up for this one.
The line: I think they cover.
