Pinstripe Bowl

Syracuse vs Minnesota
Thursday, December 29, 2022
2:00, ESPN

No Research Instant Analysis: Minnesota started to make the pivot to next year late in the season in a few key spots, Syracuse just tried to hold it all together with Scotch Tape and prayers with all of its injury problems.

Methodical. That’s what Minnesota will be in this no matter who’s running the ball as PJ Fleck continues to be fantastic in bowl games.

No Research Bowl Prediction: Minnesota 24, Syracuse 16
Early Bowl Line Guess: Minnesota -8.5
Actual Line: TBA

Cheez-It Bowl

Florida State vs Oklahoma
Thursday, December 29, 2022
5:30, ESPN

No Research Instant Analysis: It’s going to fly under the radar coming in the dog days of the bowl season on the early Thursday evening, but look out. Considering the big-name teams here, there aren’t expected to be a ton of opt outs, both coaching staffs have something to prove, and this might be one of the most regular season-type of bowl games of the bunch. I’ll be like a home game for the Noles in Orlando.

No Research Bowl Prediction: Florida State 34, Oklahoma 27
Early Bowl Line Guess: Florida State -5
Actual Line: Florida State -7.5
