GoDaddy Bowl Odds & Prediction

The odds and prediction for the GoDaddy Bowl along with team capsules.

Bowl season is in full swing, with roughly a quarter of the games done. That still leaves me more than 30 picks to try and stay above .500. It could be a challenge with the way this bowl season has started!

In case you missed how the point scale works, here is a brief rundown:

5. A lock. I am comfortable making a sizable wager on this game.

4. Very confident. Not quite a lock, but I am comfortable making a decent sized wager on it.

3. Middle of the road. Good enough that I would make a small wager on it.

2. Could go either way. So much so that I wouldn’t bet on it.

Georgia Southern is statistically the best rushing offense in the country. They have an option attack and run it nearly to perfection, or as close as you can in this day and age in college football. It works well in the Sun Belt, but it didn’t translate well in a blowout loss to West Virginia. Good defenses can give them problems since they can’t take possessions away from the opposing offense.

Bowling Green has one of the most prolific passing attacks in the nation. They hung with Tennessee for a while and put a huge scare into Memphis before running roughshod on the MAC. Their defense leaves a lot to be desired, but this offense can hang with anyone. Not many teams were able to hang 30 on the Vols this year.

Teams that throw well have been a huge problem for Georgia Southern. Just look what rival Georgia State did to them in the regular season finale. There is a chance that the Eagles can run well enough on Bowling Green to keep the offense off of the field, but if the Eagles have to try to throw to keep up, they wont be able to.

My pick: Bowling Green
