Football Picks, December 21st

The bowl season gets underway with four of them on tap. All but one are worth a look.

$11 @ -105 on the OVER (65 1/2) Washington St./Colorado St.

Expect a lot of scoring between these two teams. CSU sophomore Kapri Bibbs rushed for 1,572 yards and 28 TD this season. The Cougars give up 184 YPG rushing, so Bibbs should have a big day. On the other side of the ball, WSU quarterback Connor Halliday averages 365 YPG in the air. The Rams surrender 265 YPG passing. Add it all up and it looks like the total points will be closer to 70 than 60.

$10 on Fresno St. (+230) over USC

Fresno QB Derek Carr threw for almost 5,000 yards and 48 TD this season, but is facing the #2 Pac 12 defense in USC, so it should be an interesting match up. FSU has a weak secondary, so the Trojans should be able to move the ball. USC will be playing under an interim head coach, so some adjustment will need to be made. I rate this game a toss up that will probably be decided by a late turnover, so at +230 the Bulldogs are the smart choice.

$11 on San Diego St (-110) over Buffalo

The Bulls only give up 22 PPG, which placed them 27th nationally. Not bad. The Aztecs are healthy again, getting back two O-linemen and a tight end. The Bulls are 1-5 ATS when playing against winning teams.
