Tulsa vs BYU
One of my favorite bowl games of the year. There is an angel that over time has proved to be a good one. Teams having just played or going to play at Hawaii usually face a major motivational hangover. BYU faces probably the toughest test having finished the season in Hawaii then having to crank it up against a very good Tulsa team. GJ Kinnie has had a great career and expect a strong finish. Tulsa has flew under the radar all season having lost to only the top programs. The defense is very much improved, I favor the under in this one and really like Tulsa here.
Rutgers vs Iowa St
Rutgers has underachieved this season and Iowa St has in my opinion over achieved. Identifiny these types of situations is key during bowl season. Even though at first glance Rutgers is playing in NY a virtual home game, I am siding with the Cyclones. Paul Rhodes is a great young coach you know nothing about. Expect a big effort here from the Cyclones in a mini upset.
Other plays on this day…Oklahoma and Mississippi to roll.
