College Bowl Picks, Music City Bowl: Tennessee Vs. North Carolina

Need last minute gambling advice during the 2010 college football bowl season? We’ve got you covered. With plenty of action on Thursday, the time to blow money on meaningless exhibition games is now. The Music City Bowl features Tennessee and North Carolina in what appears to be, on paper at least, an even match-up. Let’s get ready to bet!

The line: Pretty much a pick-em. North Carolina is favored by a point.

Notable North Carolina units: The Tarheels bring the 25th ranked passing attack into the Music City Bowl. Rushing is nearly non-existent, so expect to see North Carolina air it out against Tennessee.

Notable Tennessee units: About the only thing Tennessee does is pass. The Vols boast the 43rd-ranked passing attack in the nation in 2010.

The pick: Pick-ems are a nightmare. On paper, these teams are about as even as they get during bowl season. We’ll take a stab in the dark while flipping a coin and choose Tennessee to carry the momentum of the regular season into the Music City Bowl.

The 2010 Music City Bowl kicks off at noon EST. The game will be televised on ESPN. Browse our 2010 college football postseason schedule for a complete list of bowls.
