Frisco Bowl

Boise State vs North Texas
Saturday, December 17, 2022
9:15, ESPN

No Research Instant Analysis: Not to conference shame, but wow does the Mountain West have a bunch of bad bowl tie-ins – Boise State was a great get for this.

North Texas brings the offense, but it doesn’t bring its head coach – Seth Litrrell got the program to the Conference USA title game, but that apparently wasn’t good enough. He got fired after the loss to UTSA, the Bronco defense and running game will take over fast, and this has the potential to be rough.

No Research Bowl Prediction: Boise State 38, North Texas 17
Early Bowl Line Guess: Boise State -11
Actual Line: Boise State -7.5

Myrtle Beach Bowl

UConn vs Marshall
Monday, December 19, 2022
2:30, ESPN

No Research Instant Analysis: Seriously, good for UConn. Jim Mora Jr. deserves Coach of the Year honors for getting this program to a bowl game in one year. Now comes the problem – the team has to run, and it’s not going to against the Marshall defense. Don’t expect fireworks in this, but both teams will going full-bore.

No Research Bowl Prediction: Marshall 30, UConn 13
Early Bowl Line Guess: Marshall -13.5
Actual Line: Marshall -9.5
