Bowl Season ATS 2014

There is a theory out there that everyone loves underdogs, and if that theory is true, the B1G collectively is the most love able creature to roam the planet Earth. Ten teams in, none are favored by the fine folks in the Desert to emerge victorious. Based on recent bowl performances by the conference, it's hard to find fault in their reasoning.

I'm sure we'll hear all the usual bullshit about these being "road games" and other such crap to explain the conference's shitty straight up bowl record, but that isn't the point of this. We are here to wager fake money, so let's get to it:

Illinois+6.5 vs LaTech, my pick: Illinois; it's embarrassing that a B1G bowl eligible team is a TD dog to any non Virginia or Georgia "Tech," but this is IlLOLinois after all. The Fighting Beckman's only lose by 3 to The Spittling Holtz's. Not sure if a cover is a nice thing or not

Buttgers +3 vs North Carolina, my pick: UNC. This isn't going to be close, UNC by 14+. TurNova time

Penn St +2.5 vs Boston College, my pick: PSU. This game will be unwatchable if you like offensive football in any way, shape or form. Hackenberg will suck (as usual), but Hull will return a fumble for a TD, Ficken will hit the XP, and PSU wins 7-5 (yes that's a 5)

Nebraska +6.5 vs USC, my pick: USC. We are going to get slaughtered. I'm convinced Silent E named Barney Cotton the interim HC just for the Lulz

Maryland +14 vs Stanford, my pick: Maryland. I think Stanford wins by about 10, but they have perfected boring, uncreative football so they won't blow the Terps out

Wisky +6.5 vs Auburn, my pick: Auburn. Barry is back (again), but unfortunately for the Badgers so is Joel Stave (or Tanner McEvoy). Gus Malzahn and Nick Marshall are salivating after watching the game tape from the B1G championship game

MAMU +3 vs Baylor, my pick: MAMU. I like Sparty straight up, as I think they will get more stops than Baylor in what should be a high scoring affair. Both defenses will struggle a bit, but I like Langford for MVP with a huge day in protecting the lead

Minnesota +5.5 vs MethZoo, my pick: MethZoo. Minny is too one dimensional to win this game, and Kill kinda stinks in bowl games (which is surprising). MethZoo has very good talent in the front 7 on defense, and Matty Mauk will make enough plays for those meth riddled fucks to win by about 10

Ohio St. +9.5 vs Alabama, my pick: Alabama. Nick Saban at Alabama beats the living piss out of B1G teams, and he beat the living piss out of tUrbz the last two times they squared off. OSU is still a year away from being able to beat this calibre of an opponent

lolowa +3.5 vs Tennessee, my pick: Tennessee. Fuck Iowa

Good luck, and thanks for participating
