Georgia State at Western Kentucky.
Line: Western Kentucky by 6.5.

Saturday, 2:30 p.m.

They really cheapen bowl games by allowing crappy teams in like Georgia State. But I guess it’s OK because no one outside of degenerate gamblers care about bowls. This one should go to Western Kentucky. Georgia State really struggled down the stretch, getting blown out twice and barely squeaking by a couple of crappy teams.

College Football Pick: Western Kentucky -6.5 (2 Units) — Incorrect; -$220







Oregon vs. Boise State.
Line: Oregon by 7.

Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

Willie Taggert abandoned yet another team prior to its bowl game, so some might expect Oregon to fall apart. However, this is a special case because the Ducks already named their new head coach, promoting Mario Cristobal. I like Oregon to win this rather easily, as the team is 6-1 with quarterback Justin Herbert and 1-4 without him.

College Football Pick: Oregon -7 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330






Marshall vs. Colorado State.
Line: Colorado State by 5.5.

Saturday, 4:30 p.m.

Marshall has limped into the bowl season having lost four of its previous five. Colorado State will take advantage of the Herd’s struggles with an explosive offense. Marshall will have a difficult time keeping up.

College Football Pick: Colorado State -5.5 (2 Units) — Incorrect; -$220






Akron vs. Florida Atlantic.
Line: Florida Atlantic by 22.5.

Tuesday, 7:00 p.m.

This spread opened -17, and the sharps have bet it up to -22.5. And yet, the line still seems too low! There’s a major difference in talent level between these teams, as Lane Kiffin has gotten some very skilled recruits to go to Florida Atlantic. The Owls should win and cover quite easily.

College Football Pick: Florida Atlantic -22.5 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200






Louisiana Tech vs. SMU.
Line: SMU by 5.

Wednesday, 8:00 p.m.

Chad Morris abandoned SMU to become the head coach at Arkansas, so I wonder if the Mustangs will be fully focused for Louisiana Tech, a team whose record could’ve been better had it not killed itself with turnovers and penalties.

College Football Pick: Louisiana Tech +5 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200
