Totally Uninformed Bowl Game Gambling Picks – Round 1

By on • ( Leave a comment )

College football bowl season kicks off tomorrow with five games on the docket. This year’s bowl season will feature 40 games, culminating with the College Football Playoff National Championship game on January 8.

We here at The 300s aren’t experts on all 130 Division I Football Bowl Subdivision teams, but we have wasted more Saturday afternoons in October than we care to admit. So if your fantasy football season was a train wreck, jump on our train as we pick every game this bowl season. After all, what the hell else will there be to watch on TV the day after Christmas? Might as well make things interesting.

(All lines are from from the Westgate Las Vegas.)

NEW ORLEANS BOWL Troy vs. North Texas
Troy has won six games in a row and is 5-1 away from home this season. Meanwhile North Texas is 3-4 on the road and coming off a loss in their conference championship game. TROY -7

CURE BOWL  Georgia State vs. Western Kentucky
Bit of a toss up here, so I’ll go with the team with the better passing attack. WESTERN KENTUCKY +6.5

LAS VEGAS BOWL Oregon vs. No. 25 Boise State
The Mountain West champs are getting points. Also, Oregon went 0-3 against ranked teams this season, never losing by less than three touchdowns.  BOISE STATE +7

NEW MEXICO BOWL Marshall vs. Colorado State
Marshall has lost four of tits last five games and has to travel across the country to take on Colorado State. COLORADO STATE -5.5

CAMELLIA BOWL Middle Tennessee vs. Arkansas State
Arkansas State is coming off a tough loss but is the better team. ARKANSAS STATE -4

Jonathan Stewart Just Won NFL Training Camp With His Oregon Ducks Themed Audi

As an Oregon Ducks fan (This is on you, Boston College) Jonathan Stewart’s newest car legit has me sweaty and short of breath. And not in the fat guy climbing stairs kind of way. That car is so money. And I love that J-Stew went for the even uglier Oregon color scheme and design of his heyday rather than the more recent neon and chrome color scheme.

Its even got the absurd attention to detail that Phil Knight’s favorite school is so fond of like the duck wings on the goddamn mirrors.

Impeccable. The little yellow touch with DUCKS on the door handles is phenomenal as well.

Now hopefully Stewart can get another one of these for the Ducks to illegally bribe a 5-star QB recruit with because Oregon has been absolutely awful under center since Mariota left school to turn pro. Vernon Adams, who plays in the CFL now, was the best they’ve had but he was a short term solution for a team that suddenly finds itself back in the dark, pre-Mariota days without any known commodity heading into 2017. Look good, feel good, play good. Ducks are halfway there.
