#Mayo Bowl

The Duke's Mayo Bowl might be my favorite bowl game of the year, outside of the Playoff and the Rose Bowl of course. The winning coach gets Mayo dumped on their head, that's what bowl season is really all about, and because of this game I've converted from Hellman's, I'm a Duke's guy all the way now. This year, it'll either be Mike Locksley of…

The college football season ends Monday night with a championship game in which Georgia is a two-touchdown favorite over TCU. Forget those betting lines. Forget the bluebloods sitting at home - some idiot talking head actually said he'd rather see Georgia playing Alabama. Forget the naysayers who whine about the postseason, saying there are too…

Maryland football ended its season with an 8-5 record after defeating No. 25 NC State in the Duke's Mayo Bowl on Dec. 30.

Here's how…

Instead of cramming the rest of the bowl games into one article, I figured I'd split them up, with the Thursday and Friday games in this article, and predictions for the games on Saturday and Monday in one last MC&J picks piece that will drop in the near future. (All lines courtesy of Draftkings Sportsbook.) Both of these teams had their eyes on…

No. 23 NC State battles Maryland in this year's Duke's Mayo Bowl, and before we get into the meat and potatoes of the matchup between the Wolfpack and the Terrapins, let's answer the question on everybody's mind.

An 8-6-1 slate of picks last week improved my overall mark to 13-14-1 for the bowl game season against the spread. Arkansas imploding and winning by 2 hurt, as did Syracuse getting a late touchdown to spoil another spread, but that's gonna happen any time you pick that many games at once. And now, on with this week's picks... December 30 Duke's…

This year's Duke's Mayo Bowl pits two teams with entirely different outlooks entering college football bowl season.

These former ACC rivals often compete for the same mid-Atlantic recruiting base, and a bowl game in Charlotte presents a fantastic opportunity for one team to gain the upper-hand on the other. The college…

The relationship between the College Football Playoff and the rest of the bowl system is lopsided enough now, and just wait until the CFP expands and makes it even more so.

Former ACC rivals will battle it out Friday to see which coach will get a mayonnaise bath as the No. 23 NC State Wolfpack play the Maryland Terrapins in the Duke's Mayo Bowl in Charlotte.
