Game: BYU Cougars @ Arizona Wildcats - Saturday December 20, 2008 8:00 pm
Pick: 2 units TOTAL: Over 62 (-110)
This game looks to be entertaining, as it features two high powered offenses with questionable defenses. BYU’s offense is led by quarterback Max Hall, who has thrown for over 3600 yards and 34 touchdowns. The Cougars have scored 38 points or more in 7 games this season. They are facing an Arizona defense that has been lit up in several games this season. Oregon moved the ball at will against them, scoring 55 points. Even horrible offenses like Washington State and New Mexico had offensive success against them. The Wildcats played their worst defense away from home, as their home/road defensive numbers are vastly different. They are giving up almost 17 more points to opposing offenses outside of Tucson. Meanwhile, BYU’s defense has been even worse to far less competition. Below average offenses were able to torch the Cougars, as Colorado State, UNLV, and TCU scored 109 combined points against them. BYU’s defense also played much worse away from home, giving up 31 points per game. They also allowed opponents to rush for an average of 180 yards per game on the road. Arizona has very talented running backs in Nick Grigsby and Keola Antolin. They will run all over the Cougars, who don’t have the speed or size to stop these backs. This game will be a back and forth shootout with the defenses having problems throughout.

Matchup: Fresno St at Colorado State
Time: 2:30 PM EDT (Sat)
Play: Colorado State (3-110)
I can't remember the last time a team lost by 51 points in their last game of the season and was favored in their bowl game. That's the case here with Fresno State. Fresno State is a mere shell of what people think they should be. Their defense is horrible and their running game has fallen off the map. Head Coach Hill also flirted with leaving and going to coach the University of Washington. Fresno State is going in the wrong direction while Colorado State is on the way back up after hiring head Coach Fairchild. Take Colorado State in this bowl matchup.
Play: Arizona (-3.0-110)
BYU is a team that isn't to exicited to be playing in the same bowl for four straight seasons. The expectations also weren't met for BYU where BYU thought they might end up winning the Mountain West Conference. They are on a low after getting blown out by their rival Utah and finished a distant third in their conference. Arizona lost some close conference games and their running game and defense is much improved and much stronger than BYU. Lay the small spot and take the Arizona Wildcats in the Las Vegas Bowl.
