College Football Bowl First Thought Predictions, Analysis For All 41 Games, National Championship – Page 8

Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl

Houston vs Louisiana
Friday, December 23, 2022
3:00, ESPN

No Research Instant Analysis: Houston doesn’t know how to play boring games. This could be a problem, though. At the very least, the Cougars will walk into the stadium and throw 40 points on the board. These aren’t your Billy Napier Ragin’ Cajuns, though. Even so, no one plays up or down to the competition like Houston.

No Research Bowl Prediction: Houston 41, Louisiana 27
Early Bowl Line Guess: Houston -11
Actual Line: Houston -3.5

Union Home Gasparilla Bowl

Missouri vs Wake Forest
Friday, December 23, 2022
6:30, ESPN

No Research Instant Analysis: After the clunker of a bowl loss to Army last year – you’re an SEC team, Missouri; act like it – it needs to look like things are moving forward under Eliah Drinkwitz going into the offseason. Here’s the bigger problem for this game – Sam Hartman might be deep into the transfer portal by the time this kicks off. It’s Wake Forest, though. There will be points no matter who’s under center. Missouri will score more.

No Research Bowl Prediction: Missouri 38, Wake Forest 34
Early Bowl Line Guess: Missouri -2
Actual Line: Wake Forest -1.5
