6 bowl games today, let's hope you aren't working. The Armed Forces Bowl pits one of the most disappointing teams versus one of the most surprising. Remember how good we thought the Bears were after this sick punt return from DeSean Jackson in the season opener? Then they went up to Eugene and beat Oregon. Rose Bowl bound ... for about a week. Then they lost six of their final seven games.

Why I'm picking California: They're faster, stronger, bigger and more talented. Unfortunately, the mental aspect hasn't always been there nor has their health. Assuming Cal shows up ready to play, I like DeSean Jackson to successfully audition for his early jump to the NFL with a kick and receiving touchdown. Who's going to cover him?

Why I could be wrong: Golden Bears can't believe they're actually playing in the Armed Forces Bowl and may have very little interest in playing.
