I know many of you watch the FREE pick videos and listen to the Dream Podcasts, so before I get any questions or concerns these are straight up picks (similar to the ESPN Bowl Mania). While I like a lot of underdogs like Wake Forest, Wyoming, South Carolina and Florida St to cover ATS wise this bowl season...they are large underdogs and I'm not calling for the outright upsets for this particular contest.
