    Default Independence Bowl

    My power ratings yield:

    South Carolina by 5.5
    Total: 49.5

    Before I go any further, I do have a bias here. I want Missouri to win this game so Brad Smith can go out a winner. No matter how bad Mizzou has been this year and previous years....Brad Smith is a good guy and should be sent off as a winner. Therefore, my play is on Mizzou for a smaller amount. Mizzou is taking this game very seriously and, believe it or not, seem very focused judging from interviews from the players and Pinkel himself. They flew down to Louisana Monday morning (Dec 26th) and practiced the same day. They are gearing to win this one whereas I think last year Pinkel didn't take Arkansas very seriously (why? I have no idea) and they got their butt handed to them.

    It seems to me that Spurrier's offense is anemic. Now, that may change given the porosity of Mizzou's defense but my feeling is that the run will be stuffed by Mizzou forcing Spurrier to win by air. No doubt that if anyone can do that, Spurrier can. My feeling is that they won't. I'll take Mizzou and the points. Again, probably some bias in my decision.

    Gary Pinkel (bad coach), Brad Smith (good athelete, can't throw), swiss cheese defense, no motivation...those are the issues Missouri has...

    Spurrier (one of the best ever), QB Mitchell (highly underrated), an outstanding defense, a lot of motivation...this team has flown under the radar all year...

    keep your eye on WR Sidney Rice, a redshirt freshman and an absolute stud...McKinely sp? isn't bad either...they've got two good backs and with Spurrier calling the plays, they will move the ball efficiently...may be close for a half, but eventually Missouri's true colors (or lack there of) will show...

    I had Virgina earlier and as you know they came back and I also have UCLA and that one was looking grim until they came back. Now the shoe is on the other foot...hope the old ball coach keeps attacking and gets us a couple more TD's to put the game out of reach.
