Army/Navy is this weekend, but bowl season is upon us. Brady Quinn and Emory Hunt were on CBS Sports HQ picking the first slate of bowl games against the spread. I think they’ll be back at some point with the rest of the bowl games, but here’s your first official bowl picks.
I’d like to congratulate everyone for making it to the national championship of our bizarro 2020-21 college football season. The national championship kicks off tonight and I’ll be posting all of the picks and predictions I can find right here for you. I’ll be updating all day so check back often for the latest picks, predictions, bets, guesses and trends.
