San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl
Bowl Game #1
-Beaver County Credit Union, Pa.

This bowl games jump out at me for three reasons

*It may take longer to say the name of the bowl game than to play it

*It's the first bowl game of the season

and most importantly....

*If Navy quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada wins the MVP award, I not only want to hear the announcement of the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl Most Valuable Player Award to Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada (SDCCUPBMVPK-NK-E) but I would also like to see them fit that on a damn trophy.

Bowl Game Rankings
#19 (npoc)
#26 (Sports Illustrated)
#22 (Scout.com)

Those aren't bad rankings for a game on December 20.

The Game
This is only the third Poinsettia Bowl ever

The favorites how covered and blown out the opposition by atleast 21 points the last two games including a 51-30 thumping Navy put on Colorado St. in the inaguaral Poinsettia Bowl (pictured right).


The trend that counts here is Navy being 10-1 against MWC

The Picks
This bowl season we will track my picks, the picks of the public based on the covers.com consensus and toosh's picks which are nothing more than guesses I am assuming.

(notice some of my picks will disagree with the pugliatte/npoc challenge, those picks were just gut reaction before research)

npoc
2 units ** Navy +8
1 unit * Navy/Utah over 64.5

Bowl Season 0-0 0 units
Yesterday 0-0 0 units

Toosh's pick
Utah -8
Utah/Navy under 64.5

The Public says
57% on Navy +8
The over/under is too close to call


Pugliatte/npoc challenge
Pugliatte 0
npoc 0

Pugliatte has Navy +7.5
npoc has Utah -7.5
