Smoke a Bowl game

Two for two ladies and gentleman. Florida Atlantic's first venture into the topsy turvey world of bowl games was stellar. The Owls flew past Memphis 44-27 in the New Orleans Bowl. So, let's get to Saturday's Bowl game extravaganza. Oh, who's the severely airbrushed chick to the right you ask? No idea, but I'm sure she'd fall madly in love with me and my bank account.

Papajohns.com Bowl - 1:00 PM ET, at Legion Field in Birmingham , AL pits Southern Miss vs. Cincinnati, with the Bearcats giving 10, and the over/under at 55. The So. Miss Eagles have a solid defense that kept them in games all year, but they go up against an explosive Bearcat offense that they won't be able to contain. Unfortunately for Southern Miss, their offense is established through the run game, and Cincinnati has been one of the best against the run this year, only allowing a 100 yard rusher 3 times.

Lee's pick - Cincinnati giving 10 with the under. The Cinncy offense is too big for So. Miss, and the Eagles won't put up enough points to get close to the O/U.

New Mexico Bowl - 4:30 PM ET at University Stadium , Albuquerque , NM on ESPN has Nevada going up against New Mexico giving 4 (O/U 54) in what is basically a home game for the Lobo's. On paper, these teams are fairly equal and this should be a good game. However, New Mexico is 5-1 at Albuquerque and the Nevada Wolfpack does start a freshman QB, which leads you to believe that this has the makings of a Lobo win.

Lee's pick - Like the true maverick that I am, I'm going to go with Nevada, taking the 4 points, although I think they'll win outright. We'll also go with the over.

Las Vegas Bowl - finds UCLA vs BYU tonight at 8 PM in Las Vegas, obviously. BYU is giving 3.5 (O/U 47) to the Bruins, in this match-up that will feature defense due to both teams woeful offense. The Bruins, who are coming in without their recently fired head coach Karl Dorrell, have lost their top RB and both their 1st and 2nd string QB's. The Cougars meanwhile feature a bruising freshman RB that won't do much against a strong UCLA run D, especially with the Cougars inconsistent play at QB.

Lee's pick - I'm definitely going with the way under, and UCLA taking the points.
