As I mentioned earlier, there’s no better way to cut the post-holiday tension between inebrieted in-laws and relatives than with a little NCAAF bowl game action. Fortunately, we’ve got just the thing for you this year: Emerald Bowl betting!

Taking place on December 27th in San Franscisco, this year’s pairing features a Miami vs California line. And it should be an easy pick, just in case you’re having trouble waking up from a Christmas-feast-induced slumber: California Golden Bears all the way. Just take a look at the Miami Hurricanes: They’re young, and while that’s good for us female-types who like seeing sporting fit young men, it’s not the best advantage on the field. And although coach Randy Shannon has really turned them around, I don’t think it’s gonna be enough — especially considering that the Bears will have home advantage.

If you’re tempted by your favourite sportsbook here, I say raise the stakes with your man of choice and wager for a nice piece of emerald jewelry on this one. Hey, it’s only appropriate.
