Byrum's 3rd round of futility

I would like to start off that going 0-6 against the spread is equally as difficult as going 6-0, so what I've done is actually quite impressive. However, clearly I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'll keep my picks even shorter and sweeter than Gregg's.

Saturday: Little Caesars Bowl - Marshall vs Ohio (-2.5)

I've been to Athens, Ohio. Fun town, hot girls, I'm taking the Cats. Under-rated party school.

Byrum: Ohio

Saturday: Meineke Car Care Bowl - Pittsburgh (-2.5) vs North Carolina

Clearly I can't pick against the Heels for karma reasons, even though there's a lot of reasons to like Pitt here. I'm going to run on optimism like Oltz, but more importantly I'll be there cheering for them in person and I can't bear to see another loss in Charlotte. This game is huge for the Heels because 9-4 sounds so much better than 8-5.

Byrum: Heels (obvi)

Saturday: Emerald Bowl - USC (-9.5) vs Boston College

No doubt this game is a mis-match on paper, but SoCal has under achieved all season and I refuse to be wooed by their 5 stars one more time. Until Southern Cal plays up to its talent level, I refuse to respect them. Also, motivation is huge in this game: BC's gotta be fired up to play such a big-time opponent while So Cal is feeling like this is a huge waste of time.

Byrum: Boston College

Sunday: Music City Bowl - Clemson (-7.5) vs Kentucky

As much as I hate to take the SEC here, I think that extra half-point is huge. Another patented late season swoon has left their fan base bitter. Evidenced by they couldn't sell their entire ticket allotment for a fan base that usually travels well. The stadium will be 3/4 blue, and therefore I like the Cats to keep it within a TD.

Byrum: Kentucky

**Note: Odds are 512:1 against going 0-9 against the spread, so dear Lord please let me get one right.
