These games suck!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Meineke Car Care Bowl:<\/em><\/strong> West Virginia (8-4, 5-2 Big East) vs. North Carolina (8-4, 4-4 ACC).  Who do you pick if you think the Big East sucks on the same level as the ACC?  I am going with the Tar Heels and the 1.5 they are getting from the Mountaineers.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Champs Sports Bowl:<\/em><\/strong> Wisconsin  (7-5, 3-5 Big Ten) vs. Florida St (8-4, 5-3 ACC).  Would you believe the payout for this one is $2.125 million?  Of the three games today, this one may be the most interesting match-up, but I do not care much for the Big Ten, and well, the ACC sucks.  I do not like the line at all; Seminoles are giving up 5.5 to the Badgers.  I think the Seminoles win by 3, but fail to cover, so begrudgingly Wisconsin is the pick.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Emerald Bowl:<\/em><\/strong> Miami (FL)  (7-5, 4-4 ACC) vs. California (8-4, 6-3 Pac-10).  Another post Christmas suckfest.  I am going to go with California, even if they are laying 8 to Miami.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owls, Chippewas \u2026 who really gives a rat\u2019s ass?
