Football Picks, Dec 29th

Five bowl games on a busy Saturday, three of which are worth a peek.

$20 on Rice (+$120) over Air Force

"Battle of the Birds," as the Owls and Falcons meet. Rice has won 4 straight and 5 of their last 6. On the highway they are 3-3. Air Force is 1-3 in their last 4 outings and are 1-5 on the road. They've only covered once in their last 8 games.

$20 on Navy (+$475) over Arizona State

The Middies have won 7 of their last 8 and are 4-2 in enemy territory. A-State is 2-4 in their last 6 and 3-3 on the highway. I would be a little surprised to see Navy pull off a win here, but at almost 5-1 I think it's worth a shot.

$20 on Syracuse (+$155) over West Virginia

 The Orangemen have won 5 of their last 6 and are 3-3 when sleeping in hotel rooms. West Virginia won their last two games, but lost the previous 5. They are 3-2 on the highway.
