Best College Football bowl game picks today, Wednesday December 28th (Which underdogs should you back?)
The college football bowl season continues on Wednesday with the Holiday Bowl between Oregon and North Carolina and Kansas taking on Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl.
Central Florida is playing in the college football bowl game against Duke. John Rhys Plumlee is the only quarterback option for UCF. The team has many other options at the quarterback position. UCf's offense is not very good, while Duke's is very effective. The Blue Devils are going to keep UC Florida behind the sticks and force a weak Knights passing game into throwing downs.
Duke is a 3-point favorite against the Crimson Tide in the college football bowl game.
Kansas and Arkansas are playing in the Cotton Bowl on Wednesday, December 28th. Kansas had to cycle through quarterback this season, but Jaylon Daniels is back and the team is fourth in EPA/Play this year. Arkansas has several opt-outs on the roster, including star safety Myles Slusher and defensive coordinator Barry Odom taking the UNLV job. The team lost top pass catcher Jadon Haselwood and fellow starter Ketron Jackson, and they lost their quarterback Jefferson.
Kansas is a favorite against the underdogs.
Oregon's offense is No. 1 in success rate and top 10 in explosive play rate. North Carolina's defense is bottom 10 on the defensive side of the ball. Oregon scored 40 or more points in eight games this season and 30 or over in 10. The offensive line of Oregon has allowed the fewest sacks in the country and are top third in line yards.
Oregon team is favored to win the game.
Ole Miss lost four of five games and finished with an 8-6 record. Texas Tech finished 18th in tackles for loss this season and 24th on line yards. The Red Raiders are also in the top 20 in red zone touchdown percentage. Ole Miss' offensive line is not very good. Both teams play fast and play within the Top 13 in plays per minute. I'll back the team with the superior defense and comparable offense. The best college football bowl game picks are available today, Wednesday December 28th.
