Diner Football Predictions, Bowl Edition, Post-New-Year's Edition

Having a week's worth of games after the January 1 bunch is tough to get used to. So are failing in predictions, I was 3-3 on the New Year's Day slate, making my record 10-17 with 5 left to play.

And today's game:

Oklahoma vs. West Virginia (+7) in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: On the surface, this one looks easy to call. The Sooners seem to be on a mission to erase all the talk about how poorly they play in BCS games--which is true. Which is why they're on a mission. West Virginia could not have more distractions, either. Their coach taking the staff to Michigan and then the school suing the coach because he's not paying the $4-million buy-out of his contract. Not to mention that OU finished the season playing very well and the Mountaineers came apart. It'd be a better game if everything was stable at WVU, but it isn't. And it likely won't be a very good game. Diner Prediction: Oklahoma 31, West Virginia 13
