In the second round of Bowl Pick 'Em, Greg rebounded nicely, posting a 6-3 mark and moving to 8-7 overall. Will is right behind after a 4-5 showing gave him a 6-9 record overall. It was a relatively good run for both guys, and it would've been better, had Temple not blown a 14-point lead against UCLA. But, after all, this is Temple we're talking about, so we're not sure why anyone is surprised.
For the next round of games, we have bowls that are happening on December 31st and New Year's Day. In case you weren't already excited, these two days will offer up 10 games. 10! This is why we love this week. These games could all be junk, but we'd be watching anyway.
In addition to the greatness of 10 games in two days, this round will likely make or break the pick 'em season for the guys. A good finish here could lead to the promised land of an above .500 record.
As always, we're using Danny Sheridan's odds as our source for the lines. Here's the list of games:
