Little Ceasar's and Poinsettia Bowl Picks

The Oregon State Beavers put me at 4-2 with their win over the Boise State Broncos on Christmas Eve. Lets take a pick at tonight's games:

Little Ceasar's Bowl
Detroit, Michigan
Ford Field
Tonight 6:00 
Pittsburgh vs. Bowling Green

The pick: Bowling Green 31 Pittsburg 18

Bowling Green is going to come out pounding the rock with sophomore running back Travis Green. Pittsburg's defense has been vulnerable to decent rushing attacks all season.

San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl
San Diego, California
Qualcomm Stadium
Tonight 9:30
Utah State vs. Northern Illinois

The pick: Northern Illinois 38 Utah State 26

Jordan Lynch was a legitimate Heisman Finalist this season, and he will show that tonight. It will be interesting to see how the next few months play out for his NFL future. Utah State will have to wonder what could have been after losing starting QB Chuckie Keeton early in the season. Jordan Lynch's quarterback play will be too much for the Aggies.
