The Nudge covered big today with my four star Rice pick. Chase Clement to Jarret Dillard was just too much for the Broncos of Western Michigan to handle. If Rice keeps improving with their defense, they should start building a program that could compete, but that's a big if. Next year with them losing the two best players in the history of their school, their offense migt not get going for a while. Watch out for The Nudge picks going against them early and often next year. I lost on a 2 star game with NC State losing by 6 to Rutgers. I know this sounds like a broken record, but you can't predict big injuries to big players in a game. While NC State Qb Russell Wilson was in the game, NC State was moving the ball. Before the end of the second half, he suffered a knee injury and O'Brien brought in Daniel Evans, the guy who started the season at QB and was horrible. Evans used to be effective a couple of years ago, but he has never caught on to the O'Brien spread attack. ANYWHOSE. Loss
The Nudge told you that Pat Fitzgerald would have his team fired up and that the game would be closer than most of the pundits thought. The Nudge still had Mizzoo as a four star pick with Mizzoo giving 10 and a nudge. Loss Mark my words, if there's one coach in all college football whose job is safe, outside of Pete Carroll, it's Fitzgerald. He's got the backing of the entire school and student body behind him and he has the Northwestern program heading in a great direction. Look for the Cats to cover a couple of times next year.
The Nudge covered in a big way Honey with the Maryland Terps 2* and Rice 4*, and at press time it looks like giving the ball to LaGarrette Blount in the fourth quarter is really looking good for the Ducks of Eugene 2* pick. Cover. There's still alot of football to play, but the sands of time are running out for the season, so without further ado, let's go to the Nudge Picks

Sands of time never run out for Megan Fox
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, Fort Worth, Tex-ass: How-Stun giving 3 and a nudge to The Mighty Falcons of the Air.
This is finally a national stage for Kevin Sumlin and his resurgent How-Stun team. QB "Come out of nowhere" Case Keenum has been lighting up the scoreboard out of the spread throw first offense. So far this year, he's thrown for 4,768 yards with 41 TD's. In the past four games he's thrown 402 yards, 480 yards and 494 yards in their loss to Rice. Easy pick How-Stun right? Not so fast. The Mighty Falcons of the Air have posted a quiet 8-4 record with their four losses coming at the hands of a fired up Navy team, a BCS Buster Utah, the best TCU team I ever saw and score-a-minute BYU. If your going to look for how this team played against similiar offenses, I think the BYU game is your best point of reference. And that game was close. Look for the maturity level of the Air Force Academy Cadets to be the deciding factor in this one. I'm rolling with the F-15's because "That's what Tom Cruise would do." Air Force 1* Take the over at 64, 3* Loss, Loss 1*, 3*
Brut Sun Bowl, El Paso, Tex-Ass: Oregon State giving 2 and a nudge against LeSean McCoy.
This one comes down simply to two players, Quizzz and LeSean. I think LeSean sets El Paso on fire. Easily gets 200 yards rushing to set the stage for a campaign run at The Stiff Arm next year. Pitt has been playing gritty knock out your front teeth, push back, way back offense for the past couple of weeks now. The Nudge was very impressed with them in the loss to the BearClaws and their wins against Pat White and a good UCONN team. Knock'em in the grill McCoy, big numbers. 2* Push
Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, Nashville Ten-I-See: BC giving 3 and a nudge to Vandy
At first, I thought, BC and their robotic like move you down the field offense is going to win over a real over rated Vandy squad. Again, I changed my mind, I have to stop doing that. Since telling everyone that the ranked Vandy squad was the most overrated team in history, they've lost six out of their last seven games and haven't competed too well. Mr. Bama football Chris Nickson went down with an injury and Mackenzie Adams stepped in at QB. Look for do-everything Vandy CB DJ Moore to really have a big impact in this one. So why am I rolling with Vandy against all of my intuitions. BC is starting Frosh QB Dominique Davis down in Nashville. This is defenitely a de-Facto home game for the Commodores and Davis, although possesing tremendous athletic ability, will be affected by the crowd. Vandy has to jump on him early and cause some turnovers. BC is going to look to run the ball straight at them, Vandy will stack the line and force Davis to pass, when he does, he'll probably hit Moore a couple of times. The pick is Vandy 1*. But Davis does have tremendous upside, and can be a real factor next year. Cover 1*
The Annual Nudgette Lingerie Show was really a big hit
Insight Bowl, Tempe, Zona: Mangino's Man-Size Appetite giving 9 To Tha Gopha's
You broke my hear Mangin-ious. You lost 4 of your last 6 games. Kansas RB Jake Sharp #1 is going to be the big factor in this game. If they can establish the run early, that will set up the spread version of the play action, that will be Reesing hitting Meier for ten yards per catch. The Gopha's are over rated, sorry. When they faced tough competition they folded like a wet blanket. The JayHawks are a much better team then their record indicates. Reesing is for real, and if your not pulling for him then your down right Un-American. Big Spread, but the JayHawks win this one by 20 points, no problem. Reesing and a FIVE STAR, Cover with the Five Star
Chick Fil A Bowl, Atlanta, Gawgia: Gawgia Tech giving 4 to The Hat.
Everyone and their Mutha is picking Tech to win outright. De-Facto home game, and the crowd will be a huge factor. Head Coach extraordinnaire Paul Johnson has done a down right fantastic job at Tech in his first year. When he went there, I knew that Josh Nesbitt would be a perfect fit in his scheme. In this game, watch beast running back Jonathon Dwyer on the full back dive. He'll be good for 5 yards per in this game. The big factor is going to be Nesbitt hitting Demaryius Thomas when LSU puts nine guys in the box to stop the run. There is a catch and a "Not SO Fast" in this one though. The reason Johnson's wing option is able to be so effective is that other teams don't face it all year and only have one week to prep their defense on the reads. LSU has had a month to focus solely on this. AND that's big, very big. The reason why Tech will win is because LSU will not get consistent play out of their QB, whoever they decide to play at any given moment. Next year, Russell Shepard starts there from Day 1 and they're a different team. This one is closer than people think! Tech 1* Loss
Alway's Great Outback Bowl, Tampa, FL: Iowa giving 4 to The Visor
I need to stop everyone from sucking off Shon Greene for a second. The reason why he was able to get sooo many yards is 1) they have no passing attack and he was the only one who could move the ball 2) he got all those yards against Purdue, Wiscy and Florida International for Christ's sake. If the guy played in the SEC, you would never had heard of him. And guess what, The Visor plays in the SEC. And not only that, he has the best defense in that conference of great defenses. Stop with all the Shonn Greene *&*%. Jasper Brinkley is the man. He will control the game. The Visor is going to run the ball down the BlackEye's throats till it hurts. Visor 3* Loss
Your secrets safe with us Nudge, we won't tell!
The Gator Bowl, Jacksonville, FL: Clemson giving 2 and a nudge to The Huskers
The Nudge flat out loves Bo Pellini. There, I said it. I love the man. Real football is back in Nebraska and everything is right with the world. Dabo Sweeney has a lot of firepower on that Clemson team, but I think the BlackShirts will lay the pipe. Look for Braska to run the ball right at Clemson and try and play keep away. I love this match up and this game, for observation purposes. For choosing who will cover, that's another matter all togethar. With a month off, does Clemson put it all togethar? Does Spiller and Davis break out of a cocoon just in time for the NFL Scouts? I don't know. Too many questions to really call this game. I'm going with BO, 1* Cover
Capital One Bowl, Disney, FL: Richt's Bulldogs giving 7 and a nudge to Dantonio's Spartans
Dantonio's Spartans are a one-trick pony. Stop Superman, and you win the game. I love that everyone's number one NFL Pick Four Weeks Ago Mathew Stafford is playing for a chance to play for the Detroit Lions in this one. For years everyone has been saying that this guy has number one pick written all over him. Now, because Stoops let Bradford play til the end of every game and they played in the no-defense Big Twelve, Bradford is all of a sudden a better pro prospect. Come on.
Stafford lights this one up. FIVE STAR pick. Roll Dawgs
Cover on another Five Star Pick

The Grand Daddy of EM ALL, ROSE BOWL: Mighty Men of Troy giving 9 to the JoePa's
A lot of movement in this line, going JoePa's way. It started out at 10 and a nudge, and has dropped a full point and a nudge. Why, because while everyone was saying how USC is going to destory the lowly Big Ten Champs, the smart money was funnelling it away on the high spread. I've always liked the JoePa's in this one. With USC FB Stanley Havili ruled academically ineligible in this one, I like it even more. Why, you might ask will a FB who only had 324 yards receiving be so missed? Because Havili has been the one to make big plays out of the backfield and keep USC in the games where the whole team has fallen asleep. The guy is Dirty Sanchez's safety outlet, and he's needed him a lot this year. The JoePa's are a good solid team. Outside of a few minutes in that Iowa game, they would be playing for a National Championship against Florida. In that game they would only be underdogs by 6 points. So why has everyone forgotten about them, and think that they can't win this one. Because their not a "SEXY" team. The SpreadHD(tm) offense is just plain solid, no award winners there. And their Defense really earns the phrase "They bring their lunch pails to the game." USC, in their game against UCLA, showed that this team can fall asleep. I know they have the number 1 defense in the country, but Penn State has the Number 8 D. This is really going to be a good game, and a good game equals a close game, and the number is too high not to jump on the JoePa's. 1*
FEDEX Orange Bowl, Miami: B-Kell's BearClaw's giving 2 to BeamerBall
VaTech has to win this one. The way the team has focused on this game, and the stories I have been hearing about how this team has been practising since they got to Miami has said a lot. I love the Beamers in this one. B-Kell and the boys are happy to be in a BCS Bowl. The Hokies must win. Next year, B-Kell will win a BCS Bowl, not this one. FIVE STAR PICK.
Bowl Record so far (notice it's back on the bottom): 13-6 overall, 1*5-2, 2* 3-2, 3*2-0, 4*2-3, 5* 1-0.
That's it, I got to go and join my one man band in a new song we're writing about Tim Tebow's biceps. See Ya sports fans!
