We’re backmost baby! Best Bets Bowl Szn went 3-0 for nan first clip since… months. Anyway, that pushes america backmost complete .500 connected nan play astatine 26-25. Overall past week, we went 5-1 truthful our full grounds sits astatine a overmuch much palatable 53-49. We’re not done yet though… we’ve sewage much playoff games and a mates much vessel games to prime to decorativeness afloat successful nan black. Let’s do it!

Miami (+9.5) vs. Ohio St.

This prime whitethorn look overseas seeing arsenic I’ve been riding nan Buckeyes each play long. First, I do deliberation Ohio State is nan champion squad successful nan country, and I do deliberation they are going to triumph nan nationalist championship. That said, 9.5 points is A LOT of points. Miami’s defense is playing good capable (and Ohio State’s discourtesy isn’t ace explosive) that I deliberation nan Hurricanes will support this 1 reasonably close, astatine slightest connected nan scoreboard.

Oregon (-2.5) vs. Texas Tech

Look, I deliberation Texas Tech is simply a very bully team. They are deserving of a playoff bid, nary doubt. Are they nan 4th champion squad successful nan state though? I really don’t deliberation so. They’ve really only hit 1 bully squad each twelvemonth (BYU, and it was twice.) Oregon is acold and distant nan champion title they’ll look and I deliberation their fishy discourtesy will yet costs them. Give maine nan Ducks by astatine slightest a touchdown.

Ole Miss vs. Georgia (-6.5)

If Ohio State isn’t going to successful nan full point this year, I deliberation Georgia is nan adjacent apt candidate. They person played outrageously good their past 4 games and I don’t deliberation anyone short of nan Buckeyes will alteration that. This crippled was adjacent nan first clip around, but nan Bulldogs defense has improved leaps and bounds since nan Rebels took them to nan brink successful Athens. Kirby Smart will person adjusted to what Ole Miss wants to do offensively (they already did successful nan 4th fourth of that game, which led to a unopen retired successful nan quarter). Georgia wins by double digits this clip around.

Alabama (+7.5) vs. Indiana

Top to bottom, I deliberation Alabama is nan much talented team. I deliberation this will beryllium a debased scoring affair, akin to nan Big 10 Championship game, which bodes good for nan underdog of a dispersed this big. I deliberation Alabama’s inability to tally nan shot will yet costs them and they will suffer this game, but they’ll support it wrong a touchdown by nan end.

Michigan vs. Texas (-6.5)

Michigan has been successful utter turmoil nan past 3 weeks. They’ve mislaid their caput coach and violative coordinator and person aggregate starters deed nan portal. Texas, while finishing up a disappointing season, still wants to decorativeness nan twelvemonth beardown and build momentum for different playoff tally and assuredly different Heisman-hyped run for Arch Manning. I deliberation Texas gets up a mates scores early and coasts to an easy win.

Navy (-7.5) vs. Cincinnati

As Mizzou fans know, nan past point you want to do is look a subject academy successful a bowl. Definitely not 1 who is really good, for illustration 10-win Navy is. And particularly especially if your play has taken a chemoreceptor dive since October, for illustration Cincinnati’s has, losing their past 4 games. They’ve besides mislaid their prima backmost to nan portal, meaning their 1 bully point is now gone. I expect nan Bearcats will beryllium mentally successful Cancun for this game, moreover if their bodies are physically located successful Memphis. Give maine Navy successful a blowout.
