FIESTA BOWL: Michigan vs. TCU
Prediction: "35-27, TCU"
Key matchup: "We need Quintin Johnston to have a game. We have a running game but we obviously need to stop their running game, too."
*****
Prediction: "28-7, Michigan"
Key matchup: "To me, there really isn't one. We're going to go out there and do our thing regardless. Donovan Edwards has been showing up in big time games."
*****
Prediction: "35-14, Michigan"
Key matchup: "Really our DB corps. I know they have a lot of good, big receivers that can really do some things open field but I feel like our DBs got it. Our secondary as a whole, I feel like the coach is coaching them up very well. Coach (Steve) Clinkscale does a really good job with them."
*****
PEACH BOWL: Georgia vs. Ohio State
Prediction: "30-17 with Ohio State winning"
Key matchup: "Just airing out the ball. Once they start dropping back we'll hit them with the run."
*****
Prediction: "Georgia for sure. 34-21 or 34-24"
Key matchup: "Georgia's DBs are going to be tested this game. It's really the DBs against their wide receivers. I'm trying to see that. That's the biggest matchup for me, watching the DBs and wide receiver go at it."
*****
Prediction: "Dawgs by 50"
Key matchup: "Their receivers. I feel like we're going to shut the run game out but it's going to tough to stop their receivers. That's going to be a challenge."
*****
Prediction: "I think Georgia is definitely going to take the win. 38-21"
Key matchup: "It's definitely stopping Marvin Harrison Jr. and stopping the pass. If we can lock that up, we're going to breeze by it."
*****
Prediction: "I got us winning 38-35"
Key matchup: "We need everything. Georgia's a very good team, the top team. There's not one thing I can really pick on but we just need everything going from start to finish. If we do that we'll definitely come out with the win."
*****
Prediction: "100 to nothing. For real though, 34-17 Georgia"
Key matchup: "I feel like our running backs are going to run through them. I feel like our offensive line is a lot better than what they've got, especially from watching the Michigan game. I feel like our offensive line is better than Michigan's. Defensively, I feel like it's going to be a good game but it's mainly going to be on the offensive line."
