Hawaii Bowl — Boise State vs Oregon State -3
TUES. DEC. 24 – 8:00 PM ET (ESPN)
This is the one game where everyone comes out a winner. I mean, you’re playing in Hawaii, how can you lose?
Of course there is an actual game that will be played. Boise State enters the game with the better record, but Oregon State is a slight favorite.
This will be Boise State’s first game since 2000 without Chris Petersen on the coaching staff and their first since 2005 without him as the head coach.
Even though I think Boise State is the better team, I think Petersen’s departure and the coaching change will sway this game in Oregon State’s favor.
