Free Picks: Bowl Games 12/28/21 – 12/30/21

We went 13-7 last weekend picking the NFL games and several bowl games. That brings our record to 413-144 (74%) for the season. As of now, the College Football bowl season will have 12 games through this time period We hit our Lock of the Week as the Packers failed to cover against Cleveland and we are 11-6 for the year in that category. We went 1-1 on the Upset Specials, correctly picking UCF over Florida, and narrowly missing the North Texas-Miami game. That leaves our record at 15-10 in that category. Here are our win predictions for the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday bowl games. Keep in mind, these are straight up wins, not involving the point spreads.
