Bowl Season comes to a close

After a few great weeks of bowls and some decent picks, we have made it to the final stretch. Only three games separate us from the National Championship. Due to getting ready to head back to school and the other things the end of the holidays bring these picks will be short!
 Enjoy!


The Cotton Bowl - Texas A&M VS Oklahoma
Texas A&M has QB Johnny Manziel who won the Heisman earlier in the season. His 43 total touchdowns and 3,419 yards through the air are pretty amazing. Only two teams with very stout defenses have stopped him. With linebacker pressure, Oklahoma can beat him, but I don't think the Sooners will be able to apply the pressure. Oklahoma has weapons on the offensive side of the ball as well. QB Landry Jones as well as RB Damien Williams and WR Kenny Stills are all poised to have a big night. It will be a tough task for the Aggie defense to stop all three of them. In the end, I see this game as one that is nearly impossible to predict. Both teams have a lot of play makers on the offensive side of the ball and have solid defenses. The tipping point for me is Johnny Manziel. He's had a heck of a year and he's the Heisman winner. That's why the Aggies get my vote in this one. I think A&M will win 38-36.

Quick Picks!

BBVA Compass Bowl - Pittsburgh 28 Ole Miss-19
Player to watch: Pitt QB Tino Sunseri - He is a guy that can really throw the ball (3,103 yards 19TDs) and knows how to take care of the ball (2 interceptions). He is a senior leader and I think he leads the Panthers to victory.
Reason Pitt wins: They have the better defense. They will shut Ole Miss down and will pick apart the Rebel defense.

GoDaddy.com Bowl - Kent State 25 Arkansas State 38
Player to watch: Kent State RB Dri Archer - This guy can run the ball and catch the ball out of the backfield which makes him very dangerous. He averages 9 yards and rush and 15.6 yards per catch. With close to 2,000 yards of total offense, he is the best player on the field.
Reason Arkansas State wins: The Red Wolves have a great offense that is very even across the board. They have a great defense as well and will be able to contain Archer. Though this team is 9-3, all of their losses came to teams who went to bowl games and two losses came to teams who won 10 games this season. They are an under-rated team and I think they will show everyone what they are made of Sunday.
