Predictions

Bowl action is already underway today, but nothing has concluded yet. The Tulane Green Wave and Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns are underway in the Autonation Cure Bowl, as are two other bowl games. North Carolina A&T and Alcorn State are in action in the Celebration Bowl and Utah State is dominating North Texas in the New Mexico Bowl. Some of the first day of bowl season provided a good start, and some amounted to blow outs.

We’ll get to predicting those three bowl games, in relevance to where each is either at or after halftime. The three remaining do feature some of the best matchups of the day, and it’s worth watching some of these offenses. Some of those offenses are going to put up some big numbers. That list of standout offenses encompasses Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, and Fresno State.
