PINSTRIPE BOWL -- The Spartans might be the biggest underachiever among Power Five programs. They needed to beat Rutgers and Maryland just to become bowl-eligible, and spent most of the year looking lifeless under coach Mark Dantonio. Wake Forest stumbled down the stretch a bit, with losses in three of its last four. But if the Deacons play osmewhere near their best, they should win this one.

HOLIDAY BOWL -- Those who still criticize Iowa for an outdated or boring brand of football clearly haven't seen the Hawkeyes play much over the past few years. They are throwing on early downs more often and generally have more balance. Iowa has an experienced, senior QB in Nathan Stanley and should have the edge over an improving but youthful USC club.

MILITARY BOWL -- Temple has a poor recent bowl history, and there is some concern in this one because North Carolina will have a decided coaching edge. But the bottom line is the value is with the underdog, which could be the better team. The Owls came up just short of the AAC title game but have a sturdy defense and a veteran-laden club. The Tar Heels overachieved this season but are a bit overvalued in this spread.

Milwaukee is undefeated against teams below .500. That doesn't even do the Bucks' losses justice. The five teams that have beaten them are a combined 105-47. Meanwhile, they are 12-0 against teams currently in the bottom five of the East and are winning those games by an average of 18.3 points. Yes, an 11.5-point spread on the road is hard to swallow, especially when the Hawks have played the Bucks relatively closely in the past, but Khris Middleton played only 20 matchups in their first two matchups combined. With him fully healthy, this should be yet another walkover for the Bucks even with Giannis Antetokounmpo dealing with back pain.
