Peach Bowl
ASU +13.5

I still think Texas is a pretty solid team. But ASU is getting straight up disrespected here. ASU is 3-0 against top 30 teams and playing very hot right now. The SEC has been... unimpressive. I have Texas as about a 1 TD favorite, so giving 2 TDs to ASU is the pick of the day.

Texas 31, ASU 24

Rose Bowl
U 55.5

The line on this one is OSU -2.5, and I ahve them about 2 points better than Oregon. Not much value there. However, this massive O/U is looking like a trap based on the last game where 63 points were scored. This game will not look like that game. OSU's defense hasn't allowed more than 17 points since then, even against high powered offenses. Oregon's offense has been slowed by pedestrian teams like Idaho and Wisconsin. Oregon's offense matches up with Ohio State's defense and I'd expect a much lower scoring game on their side. Ohio State's offense is stronger than Oregon's defense, but not by a massive margin. We could see a game where the total is closer to 50 than 60. 

OSU 28, Oregon 24

Sugar Bowl
ND Money Line -110

Georgia with a backup QB on a huge stage against the 3rd best defense in the country? It's gonna be a tough situation to succeed.  Expect some turnovers here that make the difference. Georgia hangs close for a little but ND pulls away.

ND 28, Georgia 17
