New Years Day Bowl Games Card

[dizzyd]

New Years Day Card:
NCAA Football:
Wisconsin vs. Tennessee (01-01)
Typically I'd rather take the team coming from the SEC but I have seen Tennessee play a few times this year and never was too impressed. I think Wisconsin will out-physical them in the trenches and take control of the game with the run game.
Wisconsin ML
5 units to win 5

Arkansas vs Missouri
In my opinion Missouri was over-rated the whole year and benefited from a soft schedule. It really showed when they went against a quality opponent in Oklahoma as they lost both of those meetings.
Arkansas +3.5
5.5 units to win 5

USC vs. Illinois
Illinois isn't getting much respect coming from the Big 10 and they probaly don't deserve it. This one will be a blowout as USC's defense will have no problem containing the Illinios offense. In the Big 10 Illinois speed was it's main weapon, but in this one they will find out that it will get them nowhere against the USC athleticism. Booty will throw for 4 TD's and shred the Illini D as well.
USC -13.5
5.5 units to win 5

Overall:
NBA----> 0-2, -4.4
NFL----> 2-0, +5

Nice writeup. I agree on all three picks. I really like Arkansas. Tennessee always finds a way to screw up, so I might take Wisconsin.

Not touching the Rose Bowl with the big spread.

Teams with something to prove

[USC will 'squeeze' the juice by keeping him in the pocket. I spotted 14. by game time it will be higher.

Missouri was snubbed by BCS & will show SEC power that balance is the key. McFadden might have already mentally checked out & Petrino hasn't checked in from the ATL yet.

You're right on the Vol/Wis. play but I'm not touching it.
hAPPY nEW yEARS!]
