If you are playing a bowl pick'em contest which games do you have the most confidence in?

I really like West Virginia & Virginia Tech.

If Skyler Howard plays the way he has the last few games, Miami will beat us by 2-3 TDs.

They are a decent team, and WVU has a ton of injuries. I am tempted to take the U.

Navy Over La Tech
Alabama over Washington
USC over Penn state
Mississippi St over Miami of Ohio
Florida over Iowa

Pretty confident in all of these.

Florida over Iowa.

The same Iowa team that finished out the season by beating Michigan and hammering Nebraska? Florida isn't winning that game.

Didn't Navy's QB just get hurt? Will he be back?

Lol Michigan was a fluke and Nebraska is garbage. Show me one quality win they've had this season.

Didn't Navy lose their starting QB and top RB on back to back plays in the AAC title game? Are those two going to be healed up in time?

There rarely is a gimme in bowl picks.
You never know the mindset a team has going in to the game.
Do they put the effort in trying to win? Do they throw in crazy plays, just to see if they work? Are they in town for fun?or business?

Since when is playing tough defense that shuts the other team down and putting together an effective running game a fluke? Nothing flukish about that win.

Nebraska isn't as good but they are an effective team that was top 15 that Iowa dismantled.

What in the Florida offense leads you to believe there will be some sort of explosion out of them or that they'll be able to put up points?

This game will be a slog and can hardly go on the list of "locks".

Funny, I have that WV Miami game as one of my least 'confident' ones.

For as bad as the SEC East has been all year, they have decent matchups from an 'athletic' standpoint. It just all depends on Motivations...

That is pretty funny, I guess perception is everything.

I didn't really pay much attention to either team this year, and looking @ schedules, 2 of miami's losses were by 3 & 1 pts. and another by 7. So a few plays go differently, and their perception is different.

Where both teams basically lost to the 'better' teams they played and beat the teams they mostly should've beaten and one team has a new coach that should be more 'motivated' to win....
Hard one for me to choose...
