Check out today's pick-
"Poinsettia Bowl (22 points)
TCU versus Boise State
San Diego
December 23, 8 p.m. ET
This should be one of the bowl season's best matchups, featuring two of the NCAA's top non-BCS programs and two of 2008's best defenses. Boise State is looking to finish 13-0 for the second time in three years. Quarterback and offensive line were the Broncos' biggest question marks heading into this year. Freshman signal-caller Kellen Moore was an all-conference performer in his first year, and the offensive line protected him well, finishing fifth in the nation in sacks allowed. However, the running game has struggled despite the return of ace tailback Ian Johnson. TCU's defense, led by end Jerry Hughes (14 sacks, 18.5 tackles for loss) is a cut above the WAC defenses on the Broncos' schedule. The Frogs' stop unit is ranked in the top five in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense, pass-efficiency defense, sacks, red-zone defense, third-down defense and first downs allowed. TCU's 13th-ranked rushing offense runs behind an experienced offensive line, and the average passing game started to come on strong late in the year. Boise players understand that the BCS system took care of them in 2006, and that now it's Utah's turn. The team is not demoralized about missing out on the BCS. Still, this is the bowl matchup TCU really wanted, and the Frogs are the team with something to prove in this game.
TCU 17-10"
I think I'm liking his UNDER call too (Currently @ 46)...
