NBA Week 10th Picks: Golden State vs Minnesota

basketball2

One of the few positives of having several key players out of the lineup is it has allowed the Warriors to see how some of their younger players handle late-game situations.

The Warriors may have discovered a much-needed clutch shooter in the past week. Point guard C.J. Watson has hit the biggest shots in the club’s home wins over the Celtics and Raptors. The NBA D-League graduate’s 17-footer with 52 seconds remaining Monday night saved the day for the Warriors, who appeared on the verge of blowing a late lead against Toronto.

Chick-fil-A Bowl Picks: Georgia Tech vs LSU

player2

This time the Chick-fil-A Bowl will be played at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta Georgia and the teams will be the LSU Tigers and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The game will be kicked off at 7:30 PM ET this December 31st and it will be televised on ESPN.

Is interesting when we put together the excellent Georgia Tech’s Rushing offense in the same field with the LSU’s tremendous Rushing defense. Its kind of a perfect combination because it gives no room for mistakes.

Texas Bowl Picks: Rice Owls at Western Michigan Broncos

field1

The Texas Bowl this time will be played by the Rice Owls and the Western Michigan Broncos. The place will be Reliant Stadium at Towson in Houston Texas. The game will be kicked off at 8:00 PM ET and it will be televised by ESPN.

Talking about the style of playing of both teams, I suspect the Broncos will give everything at the game as usual They always give a lot during the game, but I honestly suspect that they are over matched to a team that eventually will have a field advantage that day.

Pacific Live Holiday Bowl Picks: Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Oregon

players1

This bowl game this time is played by  the Oklahoma State University Cowboys and Oregon Ducks . The game will be kicked off at 8:00 ET at the Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego and it will be televised by ESPN.

Important facts about the teams to know are so few. For example, the Oklahoma State defense at the beginning of the season did a good performance but at the end of the season they decreased a lot their level. At the beginning of the season the Cowboys were winning a lot. They won seven games in a row and then, they lost three out of the last five games. It seems that something is affecting the team these last days of the season. One important fact is that at the Bowl game they will not have their defensive coordinator Tim Beckman. He was hired at Toledo and that is an important piece of team that will not help their poor defense at the game or the preparation of it.

5288956

In this Armed Forces Bowl game we have the Houston Cougars against the Air Force Falcons having an interesting game at the Amon Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, Texas this December 31st at 12:00 PM ET. The game will be televised at ESPN.

Talking about the two teams we know with some accuracy who is the winner pick. Air Force didn’t make a good game during the season. I don’t have anything against them but, their statistics show a big difference in contrast to Houston.

Lets talk about the defense of Houston. Right now, they are in advantage because now Bryce Beal is playing and is making a really good job. He gained 1112 yards and also he scored 12 Touchdowns. That excellent performance brought this player he C-USA freshman of the year honors.

NCAA Hawaii Bowl Picks: Hawaii vs Notre Dame

This Hawaii Bowl will be performed at the Aloha Stadium in the beautiful city of Honolulu, HI, this December 24th at 8:00 PM EST and it will be televised at ESPN. In this occasion one of the guests is one of the highest profiled teams on the moment… Notre Dame.

players3

Both teams are top 18 in rankings. That means that is going to be a really good game in which we will clearly see the rivalry comes up into scene at the field. Both of them show a clean and strong defense and more than a capable defense. One little difference in the defense of Notre Dame that might be the clue of who will make a perfect game that night. If Hawaii makes a clean and fast passing attack, then the game will turn into a nightmare for Notre Dame…. That is for sure.

Hawaii showed to have a perfect defense, beating up Cincinnati and Boise State during the season. That shows that this defense definitely has something powerful that might be advantageous for Hawaii during the game.
