Rose Bowl Highlights

Fun game in a great setting as usual.

College Football Bowl Play of the Day: Rose Bowl

Oregon and Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl this year.

Both teams can put up points and bunches of them, but they go about it in different ways.

Oregon is a fast break, high tempo offense that is quick and deceptive as they move down the field.  Wisconsin likes to run and they do it well.  They also mix in the pass with Russell Wilson leading the way.

Oregon is giving the Badgers 5.5 points and I think Oregon's offense wears down the Wisconsin defense in the fourth quarter to pull away at the end.

It should be a fun game to watch, but take Oregon and give the 5.5.

New Years Day Bowl Plays of the Day: Florida and Wisconsin

New Years Day is traditionally the biggest college bowl day of the year.  It's a day to get comfortable infront of the television, eat some junk food and watch a day-long marathon of football.

Two picks today:

Outback Bowl - Florida

Florida, in Urban Meyer's last game as head coach is only giving Penn St. and Joe Paterno 7 pts.  I see the Gators in a blowout.  Both teams are 7-5 and are looking to go out winners on this season.  Florida is  4-1 ATS in their last 5 bowl games with Meyer at the helm.

Look for Meyer to go out as a big winner in the Outback Bowl.  Take the Gators -7.

The Rose Bowl - Wisconsin

 Should be a good Rose Bowl here.  12-0 TCU and 11-1 Wisconsin. 

To say Wisconsin has been dominating teams is an understatement.  To close out the regular season, they scored 70 against Northwestern and before that they scored 83 vs. Indiana.  They are rolling and TCU is going to have to work hard to stop them. 

TCU is no slouch, especially on defense.  But the Badgers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. win and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.  Strong trends for Wisco along with the fact they play well against teams that are good, going 4-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

The Horned Frogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games, so the play would be takeWisconsin and the 3 pts.  Wisconsin will probably even win the game.

Enjoy the games today.
