Saturday Bowls

[Corley1011]

Anyone have any input on these games? My initial leans are:

Cincinnati -11
Really dont see USM hanging with the Bearcats here. I've seen USM alot this year and they arent that good. Without Bower I dont know if they even show up. Only thing that scares me is the 11 pts.

Nevada +3
I think the wrong team is favored here. I see Nevada winning this game easily especially without their RB.


BYU -6.5
I think BYU beats UCLA in the ground. UCLA is really banged up and think BYU wants revenge.
Dont like UCLA's chances without their coach either.

I think Bower is sticking around for the Bowl game. I would think that would cause the players to play an inspired game for their coach. I think Cincy is obviously the better team, but DD dogs in December are something like 26-13 ATS, not to mention that most of the money is on Cincy (70%+) and in places the line has moved from 11 to 10.5?
My gut tells me Cincy should roll here, but my head says that it is never that easy...
just my 2 cents.

Like Nevada as a dog and dont see why BYU couldnt cover that number.

Thanks Mabus... My gut says the same thing... Head is saying not so fast... the only thing is ive seen both teams alot this year and USM is not very good.

With you on each game. Cincy is a good team and should roll. I saw a couple of Nevada games and was impressed at their mobile QB. He is gonna be a good one and gets better each game. And BYU is gonna win because the game is in vegas and at least half of the the BYU team would not be tempted in sin city. Whereas UCLA has been horrible in every single bowl game that isn't important. Not to mention their team has no coach

I can easily see these games ending up like this:

Cincinnati 35
S. Miss 17

Nevada 41
New Mexico 35

UCLA 13
BYU 34
