ESPN: Colorado State 20, Miami (Ohio) 16

Adam Rittenberg writes: “Colorado State is in a bowl game for the first time since the 2017 New Mexico Bowl and is looking for its first postseason win since 2013 (New Mexico). The Rams overcame a season-ending injury to star wide receiver Tory Horton and achieved eight wins, including six of the last seven regular season games, with a balanced offense and improved defense. RedHawks are allowing fewer than 19 points per game and are special strong against the pass. Expect a low-scoring game fueled by running backs Avery Morrow (Colorado State) and Keyon Mozee (Miami) securing the win.

Doc Sports: Take the Rams

Tony Sink writes: “Colorado State gave up 1,860 total yards on the ground (155.0 yards per game) and 16 touchdowns on the ground on the season. They have allowed 20 passing touchdowns and 238.9 yards per game,” which ranks them 101st in D-1. They have 10 fumbles on the season and 10 picks on the field in 826 games, which ranks them 90th in Division 1. The Rams are giving up 24.3 points per game, which ranks them 62nd in the nation. In total they gave up 292 points.

Picks and Parlays: Colorado State Rams win 23-20

Eddie Kline writes: “Miami (Ohio) will be without a pair of starting wide receivers and will also be without top CB Raion Strader. Colorado State WR Tory Horton remains sidelined and RB Avery Morrow is dealing with an injury. The Rams are done.” The regular season is strong and will get the job done against the Redhawks. Prediction for the final result: The Colorado State Rams win 23:20.

Why does Snoop Dogg have his own college football bowl game?

Snoop Dogg signed an affiliation agreement with the Arizona Bowl to become the bowl game title and presenting sponsor under a multi-year deal. It is the latest major sporting event attended by the American rapper and star after serving as a correspondent for NBC and Peacock at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Snoop Dogg’s sponsorship allows his drink to feature Dr. Dre – Dre and Snoop’s Gin & Juice – will serve as the presenting sponsor of the bowl game, making it the first alcohol product to be the presenting sponsor of an NCAA-sanctioned bowl game.

Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop was released in February of this year and is a tribute to a Snoop Dogg’s hit from the album “Doggystyle” by Dr. Dre and Death Row Records was produced.

“Dr. Dre and I are excited to take our brand to the next level with this partnership and we will make the Arizona Bowl a gaming experience like never before,” said Snoop Dogg when the sponsorship was announced in May. —John Leuzzi
