The Bowl Season Kicks Off

Today the 2012-2013 bowl season kicks off with two games: the Gildan New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl from Boise, Idaho.

As we did last bowl season, I've entered into a friendly competition with my 8 year old son Parker to pick bowl game winners. We'll be picking winners straight-up, none of this against the spread stuff. For the record, Parker outpicked me by 3 games last year.

Here we go:

Gildan New Mexico Bowl
Nevada (7-5) vs. Arizona (7-5)
Parker's pick: Arizona
My pick: Arizona
Parker's reasoning is that Arizona is a bigger school. Makes sense to me.

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
Utah State (10-2) vs. Toledo (9-3)
Parker's pick: Utah State
My pick: Utah State
Parker's going with Utah State because they're ranked. Makes sense to me.

It's predicted to be 30 degrees in Albuquerque at kick-off and 37 degrees at kick-off in Boise on that hideous blue field. Not sure qualifying for a bowl is all it's cracked up to be.
