Kentucky (7-5) vs. Virginia Tech (8-4)

Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C.

Va Tech by 2

I like Wildcats quarterback Lynn Bowden Jr. to lead his team to victory as Mark Stoops puts together another solid season in Lexington.

Kentucky 31, Virginia Tech 28

Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, Memphis

Navy by 2 1/2

I’m going with the awesome Academy quarterback Malcolm Perry to lead his Midshipmen teammates to victory. Perry rushed for 1,804 yards this season.

Navy 34, Kansas State 30

Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl

Georgia State (7-5) vs Wyoming (7-5)

  1. I hope Ky can pull it off but Va Tech has been playing well at the end of the season. I like Utah to crush Tejas. I am going with Navy as well as I know your Grandad Kirk aka Daddy Kirk would be pulling for them. Thanks for all DW and happy new year

  2. Thanks Bama G! My father flew for the Navy in WWII so I pull for them in that regard as well. Happy New Year to you, Mary, and the family

  3. DW – Looks like a bunch of close games with some potentially explosive offenses on display. Good luck with continued bowl picking success!
