There is no doubt Arizona has been the most impressive PAC 12 team thus far but Colorado might be second. They have two losses, one to Kansas (ugly but no shame and a better than you think Wyoming team).
The Wolverines are done touring the MAC and the directional in-state schools. It is time to get to the business of proving they are worth their lofty ranking against the best conference in America.
Cincinnati is looking to avenge last year’s playoff loss against Houston. The Bengals are looking good while Houston has dropped in the AFC standings big time on the last day of the season. Can they recover?
The Friars are not starting their Big East season from a good place. They have lost their last two games to Boston College and Brown. Both losses were on the road which is where they will be again, unfortunately it is as Louisville the 4th ranked team in the country.
Many are expecting the Gators to stomp (and chomp) on Louisville but lets remember that as good as they are on defense they are offensively challenged. Louisville is solid all around and I think this game can be a pleasant surprise.
They aren’t dominating teams or the headlines but the Spartans are in good shape entering Big Ten conference play. They have won 6 in a row including a solid victory against Texas on the weekend. The Big Ten is really tough and winning on the road is going to be a challenge.
The Bearcats were cruising along undefeated until getting stunned by New Mexico last week. The Lobos are a good team but it should have been a game the Bearcats win if they are truly a contender this season.
Big 12 vs Conference USA in this one…I think, who knows these days. Tulsa is always an entertaining program to watch but Iowa State can be full of surprises.
Georgia nearly beat Alabama but because of the current rules they get a lame matchup against Nebraska on New Year’s Day. From what we have seen lately there is a huge difference in class in this matchup.
Both teams are eliminated but have something to play for. The Saints can make it to .500 a nice accomplishment for this regular season while Carolina seeks to continue to progress and finish strong.
Its too bad the Colts couldn’t have stolen the previous matchup making this one the best game of the week by far. As it is it could add some intrigue to a potential playoff matchup if the Colts win, even with the Texans having little to play for.
The Eagles are a disaster and believe it or not there is still a chance the Giants actually qualify for the playoffs…if they win. Lots of intrigue for this one but it should be an easy win for New York.
Every sport has its meaningless games but they somehow seem even more so in the NFL where people are trying to hurt each other. This game could be a little sloppy as both teams just want to get in and get it done.
Both teams are struggling right now. The Lions can try and hurt a rival while the Bears are looking to win and then see what happens in terms of making the playoffs in the tough NFC.
A curious matchup as both of these teams went from sleepers to disappointments pretty quickly. Both are looking to finish the year on a positive note to set the tone for next season.
Owls vs Falcons College Football Spread/Handicapping
Typical of early bowl matchups there is not much to get excited for in this one. I am always a big fan of the service academies as I love seeing those triple option attacks pound against opponents, there might not be much else to entertain though.
