NCAA Football Bowls are here and this Saturday, December 17th, 2016 weíll have five games to enjoy.
Le'ís do a quick overview of three of these games.
Houston Cougars (9-3) vs. San Diego State Aztecs (10-3)
Las Vegas Bowl will feature the Houston Cougars and San Diego State playing at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.† Hereís what we should know: All three losses the Cougars are accumulating happened on the road, against Memphis, Navy and SMU. Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. and wide receiver Chance Allen are two of Houstonís key players they make Houstonís offense strong and a difficult one to control for San Diego. Houston just lost its head coach and this makes them vulnerable. San Diego has a better defense than Houston; also their running backs Donnel Pumphrey and Rashaad Penny are the stars of this team and have taken the Aztecs this far. The line has Houston as the favorite to win with -3.5 while the total sits at 54.
Pick: all things considered San Diego has the better options, take the Aztecs to pull the upset and the over on the game.

Arkansas State Red Wolves (7-5) vs. UCF Knights (6-6)
The Cure Bowl takes place at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando Florida. Central Florida has shown great improvement this season in comparison to last, however it has been far from perfect and they are coming from two back to back losses; this team has seen an improvement both in defense and offense, and although much work still has to be done, quarterback McKenzie Milton and wide receiver TreíQuan Smith could have what it takes to carry their team to winning this bowl.† Arkansas State has won 7 of their last eight games led by their defense mostly since their offense still has a lot of room for improvement.† Two teams with a strong defensive game, which can lead us to believe the score should not be too high and whoever has the better strategy and can take advantage of their strengths will win. UCF is the favorite with sportsbook odds of -5.5. The total for the game is 49.
Pick:† Arkansas State should be able to handle UCF and cover the spread, take the Red Wolves and the under.
Southern Miss Golden Eagles (6-6) vs. Louisiana-Lafayette RaginíCajuns (6-6)
The New Orleans Bowl could turn out to be the most exciting game we will see this coming Saturday, straight from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Southern Miss hasnít done great lately, losing 5 out of 6 last games. However, they have a strong offense and are currently scoring in average 33.4 points per game and allowing 30.3. The Golden Eagles have many talented players, and together they manage to get the job done although that doesnít necessarily speak of a strong team effort. Lafayette has had three wins out of their last four meetings, they are averaging 25.8 points per game and allowing 25.1, offensively they are battling and defensively they are not great, but they will put up a battle. Line has the Golden Eagles at -3.5 and total of 58.
Pick: Southern Miss to win and cover and the under on the game.
