The first round of college football bowl games was held over the weekend, and the level of play was surprisingly good given that many of the teams in action were not exactly household names. The great thing about bowl season is that we don’t really have much time to take a breath before the next set of games comes around, and we certainly have a bunch to look forward to this coming week. All told, we have 5 bowl games taking place between Tuesday and Friday, so let’s take a closer look at the NCAAF odds for each one, with some College Football bowl picks thrown in there as well.
Both teams combined to go 14-8 O/U, so we can perhaps expect some offensive fireworks here. I’m going to take Temple to win, although I do not think they will cover. I think the total will fall just UNDER the 56 points.Pick: Temple Owls 30 – FIU Golden Panthers 24
