The 2013 BCS National Championship picks are set to go here at Cappers Info, and we are ready to make our free bowl picks for all of the games on the schedule. Check out the Alabama vs. Notre Dame picks and predictions for what should be a remarkable game.

BCS Championship Game Picks: Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Date: Monday, January 7th, 8:30 ET
Location: Sun Life Stadium, Miami, FL
BCS Championship Game Betting Odds: Alabama -9
Alabama vs. Notre Dame Live TV Coverage: ESPN

After weeding through 124 teams this year, there are just two that are remaining in the battle to win the BCS National Championship Game. The Fighting Irish have been the only undefeated team in America that has been eligible over the course of the last two weeks, but they haven’t necessarily ever been considered the best team in the land. Alabama, even when it was ranked down at fourth, was always thought to be as good of a team as there is in the country, and it will have a chance to win a second straight National Championship.

However, the Fighting Irish have themselves a heck of a defense that can carry this team. All eyes are going to be on LB Manti Te’o, who has figured out how to get the job done time and time again for his team. There were just so many major stands on the goal line to beat teams like USC, Pittsburgh, and Stanford, and that’s simply remarkable. Still, the offense for Notre Dame is going to have some major problems against an Alabama defense that is ranked in the Top 6 in the land in both the rushing game and the passing game.

The truth of the matter is that Alabama is a heck of a lot more able to get the ball up the field both on the ground and through the air. QB AJ McCarron only threw three interceptions for the entire year, and he can work the ball up to WR Amari Cooper just like he did in the SEC Championship Game against the Georgia Bulldogs. And of course, there is no doubt that the team can win the National Championship without ever really throwing the ball as well. RB Eddie Lacy and RB TJ Yeldon both had over 100 yards on the ground against UGA, and both had over 1,000 yards for the season. This is just something that Notre Dame isn’t going to be able to contend with. Lay the hefty point spread here on the National Championship Game odds, as Head Coach Nick Saban is as good in games like this one as any coach in America, and he’ll coach his boys up to a seventh straight cover in a neutral site games.

Alabama vs. Notre Dame Pick: Alabama Crimson Tide -9
BCS Championship Game Score Prediction: Alabama 27 – Notre Dame 13

The GoDaddy.com Bowl is one of the great games of the season on the 2013 bowl schedule, and today, we are making our Kent State vs. Arkansas State picks and predictions and trying to beat the GoDaddy.com Bowl odds here at Cappers Info.

GoDaddy.com Bowl Picks: Kent State Golden Flashes vs. Arkansas State Red Wolves
Date: Sunday, January 6th, 9:00 ET
Location: Ladd Peebles Stadium, Mobile, AL
GoDaddy.com Bowl Betting Odds: Arkansas State -3.5
Kent State vs. Arkansas State Live TV Coverage: ESPN

It seems a little odd that Kent State, an 11-2 team, is an underdog against an Arkansas State team that has lost its head coach, Gus Malzahn, and isn’t necessarily as good as it was last year when it lost to the Northern Illinois Huskies in this very same bowl game. In fact, we’re absolutely not buying it, and we want the points on our side when push comes to shove with a team that we think is tremendously underrated.

The MAC really hasn’t represented itself all that well here in the second season, knowing that it was blown away in the Idaho Potato Bowl, the Beef O’Brady’s Bowl, the Military Bowl, and most importantly, the Orange Bowl, and the only games that it won were both against Sun Belt teams. That being said, remember that the Sun Belt hasn’t exactly done all that well either, most notably in those two games against the Ohio Bobcats and the Central Michigan Chippewas, who were arguably the last two teams to make it into the bowl season this year.

In the end, we’re wondering whether an Arkansas State defense that was suspect at times this year is going to be able to stop this potent rushing attack that Kent State brings to the table. RB Trayion Durham and RB Dri Archer combined for 2,600 rushing yards and 29 TDs this year, and Archer was also the leading receiver on the team with 35 catches, 539 yards, and four scores. QB Ryan Aplin has been great for the Red Wolves over the course of the last few years, and it would be fitting for him to be able to lead the team to a bowl victory. However, this has been a truly magical year for the Golden Flashes, and the only way that they can end this one is with their very first ever bowl win. Don’t be surprised if they get it at the expenses of Arky State.

To beat the Cotton Bowl odds, you have to put a heck of a lot of work into the game. Our college football expert handicappers have done just that here at Cappers Info, and we think that we have the winning edge for the clash between the Texas A&M Aggies vs. Oklahoma Sooners.

Cotton Bowl Picks: Texas A&M Aggies vs. Oklahoma Sooners
Date: Friday, January 4th, 8:00 ET
Location: Cotton Bowl Stadium, Dallas, TX
Cotton Bowl Betting Odds: Texas A&M -3
Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma Live TV Coverage: FOX

It’s funny what happens when you move to the SEC. The Aggies would have never, ever been favored in this game last year in the Big XII had they met with Oklahoma, but now that these two teams are in a bowl game together and A&M has an upset over the team that almost seems destined to win the BCS National Championship, the Alabama Crimson Tide. Of course, it also helps that redshirt freshman QB Johnny Manziel now has the Heisman Trophy to his credit as well after what clearly amounts to the best year that an Aggie has ever had in the history of this program. That doesn’t change what this ultimately is though, and that’s a game between two teams that are truly awfully similar to one another.

Head Coach Bob Stoops hasn’t always been the best bowl game planner in the world, but historically, Head Coach Kevin Sumlin and his crazy offense have gotten figured out in bowl games in the past when teams have had a few weeks or more to try to look over what he is bringing to the table. Granted, we do recognize that it is tough to ignore Manziel and the fact that there is just no way to simulate what he offers to the game. QB Blake Bell is probably the best comparison that Oklahoma has in practice, but even that isn’t truly suitable, because Bell, though a great power back, can’t really throw the ball that well. That’s what really makes Manziel dangerous when push comes to shove.

We still can’t ignore the fact that Oklahoma did go 10-2 this year, and the only trips came against a Kansas State team that was one bad game away from playing for the BCS National Championship, and a Notre Dame team that is playing for all of the marbles. There is a lot of hype that has been made out of A&M this year, but this is the same team that allowed 29 points to Missouri, 28 points to Samford, 21 points to Auburn, and most notably, 57 points to Louisiana Tech. The defense just isn’t all that great for the Aggies, and we think that that is what is going to ultimately come back to bite them in the Cotton Bowl.

The Oregon Ducks and the Kansas State Wildcats are going to square off on the Fiesta Bowl odds and betting lines. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our Fiesta Bowl picks & predictions for football for what should be a great game on Thursday.

Fiesta Bowl Picks: Oregon Ducks vs. Kansas State Wildcats
Date: Thursday, January 3rd, 8:30 ET
Location: University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, AZ
Fiesta Bowl Betting Odds: Oregon -8
Oregon vs. Kansas State Live TV: ESPN

The Ducks and Wildcats were both in the driver’s seat just a few weeks ago to play in the BCS National Championship Game. Both of them choked though, losing to the Stanford Cardinal and Baylor Bears respectively within a matter of minutes, and now, both are relegated to the Fiesta Bowl. With rumors of Head Coach Bill Snyder retiring at the end of the game and Head Coach Chip Kelly going to the NFL within the next few days or weeks, there is the real question of motivation on both of these sides. That could make this a very suspect game to try to handicap for sure. Generally speaking, the rule of thumb is that you take the points in this situation, and that’s precisely what we’re going to do.

Bovada Sportsbook

There’s also the matter of the quarterback situation for both of these teams. QB Marcus Mariota was fantastic this year, but he is still a freshman, and one that played really poorly at the end of the year against the best teams in the land. When you really look back at what Oregon played this year, it only faced one Top 10 foe (Stanford), and the rest of the teams in the Pac-12 more or less tapered out at the end of the campaign. Mariota has some great stats, and he might evolve into a quarterback that can lead a team to the National Championship one day, and he very well could ultimately win this game. However, we really think that we would rather have QB Collin Klein, a Heisman Trophy finalist on our side in this one. The senior did everything for his team this year, and even in that loss to Baylor, it was really the defense that cost the team in its one loss this year. Klein went into Norman and pulled off the upset, and he has taken down a number of big time foes in his career. He definitely won’t be afraid in this one.

That’s why we think that Kansas State is the right side in this game. We tend to think that the Cats are winning outright, but if they don’t, we still have a healthy touchdown and more on our side. If Kansas State can figure out how to slow down this rushing attack with RB Kenjon Barner and WR De’Anthony Thomas just a bit, the Cats are going to be in fantastic shape. Remember that Kansas State ranked 17th in the country in rush defense at 119.2 rushing yards per game. That’s more than good enough for us.

The 2013 Compass Bowl picks are set to go here at Cappers Info, and we are ready to make our free bowl picks for all of the games on the schedule. Check out the Ole Miss vs. Pittsburgh picks and predictions for what should be a remarkable game.

Compass Bowl Picks: Ole Miss Rebels vs. Pittsburgh Panthers
Date: Saturday, January 5th, 1:00 ET
Location: Legion Field, Birmingham, AL
Compass Bowl Betting Odds: Ole Miss -3.5
Ole Miss vs. Pittsburgh Live TV Coverage: ESPN

Anywhere but Birmingham. That’s pretty much what the upperclassmen were saying for the Panthers a few weeks ago when they made it to bowl eligibility with a 6-6 season. This is going to be the third straight year that U-Pitt has made an appearance here at the BBVA Compass Bowl, and the truth of the matter is that it really has to be a disappointing sight. We all saw last year just how interested the Panthers really were when they were smacked around 28-6 by the SMU Mustangs in a game that was truly never even all that close, and we can’t help but wonder if the team would rather just be sitting at home for the rest of the year instead of having to get ready for this bowl game against a physical Ole Miss outfit.

Meanwhile, there is no doubt that Ole Miss has been chomping at the bit to get on the field in this game, just like SMU was last year at the BBVA Compass Bowl. The Rebs were one of the best ATS teams in the nation in 2012 at 9-3 ATS, and they were fortunate to win six games in spite of the fact that they scheduled the Texas Longhorns out of conference and had the SEC West to contend with this year. The celebration was outstanding when the team clinched a bowl bid in the Egg Bowl against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, and QB Bo Wallace was the leader of the pack. Wallace really improved all year long, and though he is just a sophomore, he threw for 2,843 yards with 19 TDs. He averaged 335.7 yards and eight scores in his final three games of the year, all of which came against big time bowl teams from the SEC.

That really makes this one simple. Forget about the fact that it’s the Big East against the SEC, something that should be a mismatch all the time (except for you, Florida Gators!). Forget about the fact that Ole Miss is the de facto home team in this game. And forget about the fact that one of these teams played a significantly harder schedule and didn’t lose to Youngstown State to start off the season. The bottom line is that the Rebs want to be here, and the Panthers don’t.

Ole Miss vs. Pittsburgh Pick: Ole Miss Rebels -3.5
Compass Bowl Score Prediction: Ole Miss 31 – Pittsburgh 10

The Sugar Bowl is one of the great games of the season on the 2013 bowl schedule, and today, we are making our Louisville vs. Florida picks and predictions and trying to beat the Sugar Bowl odds here at Cappers Info.

Sugar Bowl Picks: Louisville Cardinals vs. Florida Gators
Date: Wednesday, January 2nd, 8:30 ET
Location: Mercedes Benz Superdome, New Orleans, LA
Sugar Bowl Betting Odds: Florida -14
Louisville vs. Florida Live TV Coverage: ESPN

It wasn’t all that many years ago that the Gators were being led on the field by Urban Meyer, and when that was the case, the man that was the de facto quarterback of the defense was DC Charlie Strong. Strong left when the opportunity came up to take a head coaching gig, albeit one in the Big East. Now though, Florida is back in the big time at the Sugar Bowl, and Strong is joining it, just on the other sideline with Louisville, the Big East champ. This isn’t going to be a game with a slew of points in it, but it is one that could be tremendously interesting, knowing that Strong would love nothing more than to stick it to the SEC and the team that he led in a previous life.

It’s just not a good sign for the Cardinals though, that the Gators have figured out some of their problems on offense. It took three months, but the game against the Florida State Seminoles was the best of the career for QB Jeff Driskel, and it proved that the offense is indeed there to get the job done. Driskel and this UF offense rank a woeful 103rd in the land at 338.0 yards per game this year, and a lot of that is thanks to the fact that the passing attack in a wide open offense ranked 118th at 143.4 yards per game. Driskel was a nightmare at times, and at times, the threat had to be there that he was going to get benched.

The only reason that we don’t think this one is going to end up in an upset is because we just don’t know where the Cardinals are going to be scoring from. QB Teddy Bridgewater is great, and we do think that he is going to get a little something going in this one, but Florida ranked fifth in the nation in total defense and third in scoring defense, and the argument could be made that there is a ton of NFL talent out there on the field in blue and orange. That being said, the Cardinals were not a joke this year for most of the season. They ran out of gas at the end, but the hope that we have is that Strong and the gang have gotten this group re-energized after winning the de facto Big East Championship Game on the road at Rutgers, and that will at least carry this team to a relatively close showing on Wednesday night at the Sugar Bowl.

Louisville vs. Florida Pick: Louisville Cardinals +14
Sugar Bowl Score Prediction: Florida 22 – Louisville 16

To beat the Orange Bowl odds, you have to put a heck of a lot of work into the game. Our college football expert handicappers have done just that here at Cappers Info, and we think that we have the winning edge for the clash between the Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Florida State Seminoles.

Orange Bowl Picks: Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Florida State Seminoles
Date: Tuesday, January 1st, 8:30 ET
Location: Sun Life Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL
Orange Bowl Betting Odds: Florida State -13.5
Northern Illinois vs. Florida State Live TV Coverage: ESPN

There are a couple of countering forces going against each other in this game, and that makes this one of the tougher ones to handicap, especially for someone that is jaded by wearing garnet and gold glasses (figure we should get that out there in the first place). This is a big game with a big prize at the end of it, and Florida State has a good history of playing in bowl games of late. The team has won four bowl games in a row, and the only bowl games that it has lost of late were the 2007 Music City Bowl when seemingly half of the team was suspended and the 2005 Orange Bowl in which the club was overmatched by Penn State. Aside from that, this team has been golden in these spots, and that win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish last year in the Champs Sports Bowl looks darn good at the moment, knowing that the Golden Domers haven’t lost since that point.

Northern Illinois is the trendy pick in this one, and there are some good reasons for that. The Florida State defensive line is all banged up, and that could be the key for QB Jordan Lynch to do the necessary damage to get the ball moving against the Noles. Remember that Lynch rushed for 1,771 yards and threw for 2,962 yards this year, though this is obviously the biggest challenge that he has faced this year. The Huskies dropped oodles of points on teams from the MAC, but the defense still gives us some cause for concern. Remember that this team allowed 19.0 points per game, but we really should discount games against teams like Massachusetts, Eastern Michigan, Akron, Buffalo, and Tennessee Martin. Just count games against bowl teams this year, and NIU allowed 27.0 points per game.

FSU’s defense hasn’t really been beaten up this year in any game that it shouldn’t have been, save for perhaps the game against the Florida Gators. If there is an answer for Lynch, this game will be a romp. The Noles will score against this defense as long as they want to be in this game. If they do, this will look a heck of a lot like the game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Hawaii Warriors a few years ago, and a heck of a lot less like the Boise State Broncos and the Oklahoma Sooners from the old Fiesta Bowl. Don’t be afraid to lay the lumber with the garnet and gold, as this game could ultimately get ugly.

Northern Illinois vs. Florida State Pick: Florida State Seminoles -13.5
Orange Bowl Score Prediction: Florida State 41 – Northern Illinois 17

The Wisconsin Badgers and the Stanford Cardinal are going to square off on the Rose Bowl odds and betting lines. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our Rose Bowl picks & predictions for football for what should be a great game on Tuesday.

Rose Bowl Picks: Wisconsin Badgers vs. Stanford Cardinal
Date: Tuesday, January 1st, 5:00 ET
Location: Rose Bowl Stadium, Pasadena, CA
Rose Bowl Betting Odds: Stanford -5.5
Wisconsin vs. Stanford Live TV: ESPN

It has been quite awhile since Barry Alvarez graced the field as the head coach of the Badgers, but with Bret Bielema gone for the Arkansas Razorbacks, Alvarez has one more crack at winning the Granddaddy of them All in the Rose Bowl. Alvarez inherits a team that is white hot at the moment, as Wisconsin really has played great ball down the stretch of the season. Many gave Wisky a tough time for a bad start to the year, but in the end, a loss to Oregon State, a loss at Nebraska, and a pair of overtime defeats to Ohio State and Penn State were nothing to be ashamed of. The only loss of any real note was the 16-13 home defeat against Michigan State, and that too, came in overtime. This has largely been a team of bad fortune more than anything else this year, but that bad fortune is nothing new for this team in this spot. The Badgers have been beaten in back to back Rose Bowls, and they are trying to avoid becoming the first team since 1977-1979 when the Michigan Wolverines lost three Rose Bowls in a row.

Bovada Sportsbook

The passing game remains abysmal for the Badgers, but RB Montee Ball and RB James White had themselves great seasons once again. Ball is the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history after finding the end zone 21 times this year, and he finished up with 1,727 rushing yards as well. White had 802 yards on just 119 carries, while RB Melvin Gordon also averaged a whopping 10.8 yards per carry to tally 570 yards on the campaign. These three are going to have their work cut out for them against a Stanford defense that has been out of this world this year by Pac-12 standards. The team held down the Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium and was able to manhandle the UCLA Bruins not just once, but twice on the way here to Pasadena. Head Coach David Shaw has his team in the Rose Bowl, which is something that neither QB Andrew Luck nor Head Coach Jim Harbaugh were able to do in their time on “The Farm.”

This still feels like a game that the Badgers are going to find some way to win to us. We think that this team has been vastly underrated all year long, and they finally busted out of their shells in the Big Ten Championship Game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It’s going to be tough sledding to run the football, just as it has been in the last two Rose Bowls, but the Stanford offense, unlike those of the Ducks and the Horned Frogs before it, cannot capitalize with huge plays. The losing streak in the Rose Bowl will come to a close, and Alvarez will be carried off the field by his players in arguably the most emotional win in Wisconsin’s football history.

Wisconsin vs. Stanford Pick: Wisconsin Badgers +5.5
Rose Bowl Score Prediction: Wisconsin 23 – Stanford 17

The 2013 Outback Bowl picks are set to go here at Cappers Info, and we are ready to make our free bowl picks for all of the games on the schedule. Check out the South Carolina vs. Michigan picks and predictions for what should be a remarkable game.

Outback Bowl Picks: South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Michigan Wolverines
Date: Tuesday, January 1st, 1:00 ET
Location: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa Bay, FL
Outback Bowl Betting Odds: South Carolina -4.5
South Carolina vs. Michigan Live TV Coverage: ESPN

The Wolverines and the Gamecocks are going to be coming to the Outback Bowl this year, and this is a game that really could be a mismatch from the opening kickoff. Michigan has shown some promise this year, but this is also a team that was clocked by Nebraska in Lincoln, beaten in the Shoe by the Buckeyes, and challenged by the likes of Northwestern and Air Force. Not to mention the fact that the team was smashed by the Crimson Tide 41-14 in the opening game of the year. This isn’t a game that is quite that difficult, but it is a game with a similar feeling that is going to require this offense doing something special against a stout defense, something that it hasn’t been able to do all year long.

Head Coach Steve Spurrier has built up a juggernaut in the Gamecocks. They still haven’t quite made it to the BCS or the National Championship Game, but a 10-2 season this year really sent messages to the rest of the country that this team is once again going to be for real into the future as well. It’s just too bad that SC plays against the likes of the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs, or they would be prime contenders for all of the marbles year in and year out. Michigan is going to have to play well on defense, because as we have already seen in the past, DE Jadeveon Clowney has the ability to blow up an offense’s game plan all by himself. This offense for the Gamecocks though, is awfully suspect with RB Kenny Miles and RB Mike Davis carrying the load instead of RB Marcus Lattimore, and it is just as questionable with QB Connor Shaw calling the shots from behind center.

That being said, we think that this is going to ultimately look like a prototypical South Carolina game this year. Shaw won’t play all that well, but he’ll do enough to win the game by putting a few TDs on the board. That’s going to be more than enough to take care of a frustrated Michigan offense, which knows that it has a long road ahead to stop Clowney and the nation’s 12th ranked defense.

South Carolina vs. Michigan Pick: South Carolina Gamecocks -4.5
Outback Bowl Score Prediction: South Carolina 24 – Michigan 6

To beat the Capital One Bowl odds, you have to put a heck of a lot of work into the game. Our college football expert handicappers have done just that here at Cappers Info, and we think that we have the winning edge for the clash between the Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Georgia Bulldogs.

Capital One Bowl Picks: Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Georgia Bulldogs
Date: Tuesday, January 1st, 1:00 ET
Location: Florida Citrus Bowl, Orlando, FL
Capital One Bowl Betting Odds: Georgia -8.5
Nebraska vs. Georgia Live TV Coverage: ABC

The last time that we saw the Cornhuskers, they were busy getting trampled by the Wisconsin Badgers in the Big Ten Championship Game. They still have one of the best secondaries in the country, thus one of the best pass defenses in the land at 148.2 yards per game, but all of their defensive stats were skewed by the 70-31 loss in that one. The team had won six straight games in conference prior to that, but when Nebraska has been bad, it has been awful. We also really don’t trust QB Taylor Martinez, as he hasn’t proven all that much to us in his first few years with the Children of the Corn in the biggest games that he has played, and this is going to be a really tough test against a team that has a lot to prove in this one.

The Bulldogs came up just a few yards short of playing for the BCS National Championship this year, and they are going to be in the middle of a real fight in this one if they don’t bring their A-Game. If they do though, they really shouldn’t have all that much in the way of problems. QB Aaron Murray threw for 3,458 yards this year and has rounded into one of the best quarterbacks that the SEC has to offer, and RB Todd Gurley has matured quickly as a freshman and has a chance to break all sorts of school rushing records when push comes to shove if he stays for all four years in Athens. This year, Gurley had 1,260 yards and 16 trips to the end zone, and he played a yeoman’s game against the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship Game.

Remember two years ago when Alabama was shut out of the BCS? The team came to the Sunshine State and blew the doors off of the Michigan State Spartans, whom many think were shafted out of the BCS that year. That’s sort of what this game reminds us of. Nebraska has allowed at least 63 points twice this year, and though we don’t think that that will ultimately happen again when push comes to shove, we just don’t see how Martinez is going to keep the ball moving against this unit. If he does, it’ll be a shock to us, as we think that this is going to be a one-romp from the opening kickoff. Look for the Dawgs to have their day, as they lock up finishing in the Top 5 in the country this year with a 12-2 record.

Nebraska vs. Georgia Pick: Georgia Bulldogs -8.5

The Heart of Dallas Bowl is one of the great games of the season on the 2013 bowl schedule, and today, we are making our Purdue vs. Oklahoma State picks and predictions and trying to beat the Heart of Dallas Bowl odds here at Cappers Info.

Heart of Dallas Bowl Picks: Purdue Boilermakers vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys
Date: Tuesday, January 1st, 12:00 ET
Location: Cotton Bowl Stadium, Dallas, TX
Heart of Dallas Bowl Betting Odds: Oklahoma State -17
Purdue vs. Oklahoma State Live TV Coverage: ESPNU

Purdue was one of the last teams to qualify for a bowl game this year, and the Heart of Dallas Bowl betting lines suggest just that. The team fired its head coach right after the season and is more or less going to go limping into this game, and that’s why it is the biggest underdog on the bowl betting lines this year. Oklahoma State did win just one more game than the Boilermakers did. However, the Pokes clearly have the better of these two sides and can shoot it out with anyone in the nation.

We’re a bit bothered by the fact that this point spread is so high, though. The Cowboys did win their share of games this year by at least three scores, but down the stretch of the season, they were beaten in three of their final five games, including losing a tight one to the Oklahoma Sooners in overtime in Bedlam. Seemingly every close game that the club played was lost, and the only exception was the game against the Kansas Jayhawks, who were the doormats of the Big XII all year long. Head Coach Mike Gundy knows that he has an offense that can get some things done, as the team averaged 548.9 yards and 44.7 points per game, but there are some real questions about his defense as well.

We really think that this is something that Purdue can take advantage of. QB Robert Marve played well down the stretch, and he only had three picks against 13 TDs. None of the receivers on this team were really all that great, but none of the rushers were either. Then again, when we look at this Purdue team, we see nothing but the Minnesota Golden Gophers, who nearly pulled off a huge upset in their bowl game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders earlier this year. We’re not saying that Purdue is going to pull off the upset, but we do think that this is just a mammoth amount of points to be giving any reasonable team against any other team that just isn’t one of the best 10 in the country this year. The Boilers challenged Notre Dame in South Bend, and they’ll challenge the Pokes as well.

Purdue vs. Oklahoma State Pick: Purdue Boilermakers +17
Heart of Dallas Bowl Score Prediction: Oklahoma State 35 – Purdue 31
