Favorite bowl game

[jetro315]

My favorite pick out of all of the bowl games is Arizona -3 -vs- BYU.

BYU is overrated. They got blown out by the 2 best teams they played Utah and TCU. They struggled against Col St and UNLV. They are very good against teams that they are obviously better than but teams that matchup with them they have trouble with. They had a nice win over Air Force, but Air Force is one dimensional. Teams that can run and pass will give them problems.

Arizona is underrated. They have better athletes than BYU and they have played a tougher schedule. They should've beaten Oregon State and they almost beat USC. I know they are much better at home than on the road but this is neutral and I think they are the better team in more areas. I see Arizona winning comfortably.

Arizona 31 BYU 20

For watching

Boise and TCU. Great game!

Zona only won one game vs a team with a winning record all season... (Cal @ home.) All their wins came against losing teams.

If I am not mistaken, BYU didn't beat much this year either, CSU is all that I can think of off the top of my head. I am trying to get tickets to the game but whenever BYU comes to Vegas all the Mormons come down and buy up all the tickets, it makes it tough on the locals that want to go to the game.

It's tough to get tickets when each BYU fan takes his 5 wives and 20 kids along. :nohead:

Arizona defense is pitiful away from home. A BYU outright win would not surprise me in the least. I'll be on the over in this game, weather permitting.

 

[billbeater]

tough call... but byu is ranked higher and yet the underdog.... :think2: how does the lesser ranked favorite do ATS and SU in the bowls ? thanks

Arizona wins by double digits. Fade Byu in the 2nd half and you'd be a rich man. Do the same with a offense that mike stoops will bring overmatching a very overrated byu team.

betting on Mike Stoops can be hazardous to your health...

I watched BYU-Utah, and I wouldn't call it a blowout.

I like Arizona -3 in this game... but I wouldn't tag it as my "favorite bowl game."

Should be closer than some of you think and def. not a lock of the bowl season (nothing ever is) but that said I also think they will cover the 3...

I'll be on BYU. Had the Cougars not turned it over 5 times against Utah, they may have won that game. I think both teams are pretty mediocre but I'll take the dog in a bowl they keep going to.

3 "GUT" feelings.....

3 thoughts after initial look at Bowls.....

UConn should crush Buffalo
Wisc will beat Florida St
Ole Miss will either lose a close game or beat Tech outright..

I would. What is your favorite pick then?

I love it that only 26 percent of the public is on Arizona. Vegas will cash in on this one. By making the higher ranked team dogs everybody will jump on them for that reason while Arizona has the tougher schedule and better athletes. I don't see too many bowl games i like better at this point.

I like Maryland against Nevada. Marylands Defense will stop Nevada, heck La.Tech almost beat them. On the flip side, Nevada defense weak. This is two different classes of conferences and I don't think Nevada should be favored. Also like the much improved Clemson and their Defense to beayt Nebraska. Nebraska only lights it up against bad teams. Clemson is finally the team they were forecasted to be. I approve this message.l

BOO YA! Nailed it. I knew Arizona would cover even know it wasn't pretty. I also had Colorado State and South Florida today. Good stuff.
