Miami (OH) vs Colorado State over 42.5 – It’s strength against weakness on both sides of the ball. Miami (OH) has a good passing game behind QB Brett Gabbert. Colorado State can’t defend the pass ranking 131st overall.
Colorado State has a strong running game. RB Avery Morrow has averaged nearly six yards per carry on the season. The Redhawk defense has struggled with good rushing attacks.
The Bowl games have been high scoring so far so I’ll take the over.
Miami (FL) -5.0 vs Iowa State - Two of the best teams outside of the College Football Playoff will meet this afternoon when the Iowa State Cyclones and Miami Hurricanes square off in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
I’m counting on Cam Ward with this pick. Not only is he playing in his final college football game, but he’s got a chance to make one more statement to

NFL scouts with talk of him possibly being the first pick in the NFL Draft next spring.
But the Cyclones can’t just focus on stopping Ward. The run game compliments his talents. Miami leads college football in both early down success and third-down success. Iowa State rush defense is poor. The Cyclones finished 120th in pass rush and 109th in rush explosives allowed.
I’ll take the Canes to use the run to set up Ward and deep throws to make the cover.
Army Team Total over 32.5 +135 vs La Tech – It’s tough enough defending the triple option if you haven’t faced but with one less week of practice. La Tech was a late selection after Marshall opted out of the bowl. Few teams will be worse at defending the triple-option than the Bulldogs. They give up explosive plays faster than Frosty in summer.
Army averaged 32.0 PPG and should easily get that against a poor La Tech defense
