Thursday Bowl Previews

Due to the amount of games on Thursday, I will give an abbreviated view of each game and of course, my selection. So here we go. Armed Force Bowl; Air Force may have what it takes to upset the high powered Houston Cougars with their run heavy ball control option offense. Sun Bowl; Its been a rough year for the Oklahoma Sooners and they face a tough task in stopping Stanford RB Toby Gerhart. The Cardinal will be without starting QB Andrew Luck and their defense can be a very shaky, but Stanford should be the more inspired squad here and should keep it close, maybe too close for the Sooners liking. Texas Bowl; I am not super impressed with Missouri this year despite their record. Navy's triple option is tough for anyone to defend, just ask Ohio State. I hate betting against our armed Forces, take the points. Insight Bowl; In the battle to "finish above .500 bowl" between Minnesota and Iowa St., I'll go with the Big Ten. Nothing more to add to this train wreck. Chick-fil-a Bowl; Lane Kiffin's Tennessee team enters tomorrows game amid controversy over recruiting violations, imagine that. This one looks simple to me as Virgina Tech is flat out the better team. They were set out for better things when the season started and had to settle for the #2 ACC bowl, but I think they will show up in full force.
-Take Air Force +5, Stanford +10, Navy +7, Minnesota -2, Virgina Tech -5.5
