Quick Predictions & Picks for This Week’s Games

Here are my straight-up winner picks with brief reasoning – perfect for filling out your pick’em sheets (including the Army-Navy classic)!

  1. Celebration Bowl: South Carolina State over Prairie View A&M
    The Bulldogs’ stout defense should contain Prairie View’s run game in this HBCU championship. Expect a low-scoring battle. MEAC edges it.
  2. Army-Navy Game: Navy over Army
    Navy’s dynamic QB Blake Horvath and multi-threat offense give them the edge in this historic rivalry. The Midshipmen reclaim the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy in a hard-fought, low-scoring affair.
  3. LA Bowl: Washington over Boise State
    The Huskies’ speed and athleticism shine against Boise State’s tough run game. Washington pulls the slight upset.
  4. Salute to Veterans Bowl: Troy over Jacksonville State
    Troy’s balanced offense and home-state edge overwhelm Jacksonville State’s run-heavy attack in this Sun Belt vs. C-USA clash.
  5. Cure Bowl: South Florida over Old Dominion
    USF’s explosive offense overwhelms ODU in Orlando.
  6. 68 Ventures Bowl: Louisiana over Delaware
    The Ragin’ Cajuns’ Sun Belt firepower proves too much for the FCS champ Delaware.
  7. Xbox Bowl: Arkansas State over Missouri State
    The Red Wolves’ balanced attack and defensive pressure edge out Missouri State’s high-powered passing in a close, high-scoring finale to the week.
