It's time to pick the big bowl games!

There are six games today with my personal favorite being a great matchup between Ohio State and Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. The big question - how good a coach is Charlie Weiss?

The Irish are the Dogs in this game with the oddsmakers giving the Buckeyes a 5 point edge. But I'm down with Notre Dame to win in a tight one. Take the points.

The premiere game tonight features - IMHO - a mismatch with Georgia facing West Virginia in the Sugar Bowl (notably, being played this year in the ATL). I've already recommended one bet on Georgia when they were favored by 7. The spread has dropped to 6 1/2 and I say double up. Give up the points and get your money down on the Bulldogs.

The Gator Bowl features Virginia Tech as a 10 point favorite over wild card Louisvile. Coach Beemer prepares well for bowl games and likes the platform for making bold statements for next year. Though I hate betting on the big spread games, I say put your coin on the Hokies.

Tomorrow night's Orange Bowl fetures another mismatch with Penn State favored by 10 over Florida State. The Seminoles don't really deserve to be in a BCS bowl and now without A.J. Nicholson (being investigated for sexual assault), the 'Noles truly have no chance. Look for a Nittany Lion blow out - give up the points.

Here are the odds.

Anyone else willing to step up?
