New Mexico Bowl
SMU vs BYU
Saturday, December 17, 2022
2:15, ESPN
No Research Instant Analysis: This should be everything you want a mid-December bowl game to be. Lots of points, both teams looking to prove something and define the season with something positive, and … again, lots of points. Be floored if this isn’t relatively wild, but with BYU owning the lines late.
No Research Bowl Prediction: BYU 40, SMU 37
Early Bowl Line Guess: BYU -2
Actual Line: BYU -2.5
Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl
Fresno State vs Washington State
Saturday, December 17, 2022
3:30, ABC
No Research Instant Analysis: This is one of those games of honor for the two conferences. It was a rough go for the Mountain West that needs its champion to take down a mid-level Pac-12 team. This should be more of a defensive fight than you might think considering the schools and with Jake Haener under center. Wazzu’s defense gets a few weeks to prep.
No Research Bowl Prediction: Washington State 23, Fresno State 17
Early Bowl Line Guess: Fresno State -2
Actual Line: Washington State -4
