Any inputs?













Bowl Y-T-D:
0-4

I'm staying away from this game. Col St. has a poor run defense and Navy runs option. a 3 point line doesnt make sense to me... I like BYU and their pass offense. think Cal has hard time preparing for key games

Cal is starting Steve Levy at quarterback. He has only made 1 career start and he is a junior that actually plays fullback. Cal is also a poor 3-7 ATS this season. BYU has a high power offensive air attack with many weapons. Cal relies on the running game and if they have to play from behind could force them to change their plan with a quarterback with only 1 career start and 2nd start comes in a nationally televised Bowl Game.

I agree with everything bpotter74 said. BYU + the points looks like the play to me in that one....and I really wouldn't be surprised to see em win outright.

Also like Navy. Colorado St can't stop the run....and that sounds like a whole hell of alot of touble to me when facing Navy. I know this is obviously a neutral field situation, but Colorado St really stinks in games away from their home stadium too. Don't know if that would carry over to a neutral field or not....but my thinking isn't based on it anyway, so it's just an added plus that MIGHT be in Navy's favor that I thought I'd point out.

Navy pretty much has homefield advantage in Poinsettia Bowl. They are expecting over 20,000 Navy Fans. Those are the perks of playing in San Diego, the West Coast's largest Navy port. Navy is also in the top 10 of ATS teams. They are 8-3 ATS on the season.

Sea of Blue? The Las Vegas Bowl is sold out, with many BYU fans making the 340 mile trek from Provo, Utah to fill the 40,000 seat Sam Boyd Stadium. They expect 22,000 BYU fans.

Yea, as you can see on T.V the stadium is full of BYU fans.
