Ok guys after the BYU game I am now 1-1 on the bowl games. Lets see if I can go to 2-1 with tonights pick. Tonight I think I am going with Rice (-5). The red hot owls are on a sweet winning streak and see them cont. with that tonight. As far as the over/under I'm probally going to play the under 55 but that is not locked in yet. Good luck everyone and have a merry christmas. Share your plays for tonight with us.

They seem pretty evenly matched to me. Two common opponents. FSU (Troy lost 17-24, Rice lost 7-55) and UAB (Troy lost 3-21, Rice won 34-33.)

I'll take the 4.5 or 5 here.

Casey, I was leaning towards Troy on the ML in this game myself.

Nobody has given Troy any respect in the last few years. Here we have a team with players that have played some very tough teams with there roster of current players. They definitely have a legit shot at winning this game here, because they won't fold under pressure.

Well my luck has finally turned as I have hit both bowl games so far as well as 4-0 in the pros. I have been as lucky as I have been unlucky all year. Anyway, if Rice's QB starts then I am all over them. They have as good as a QB/Rec. combo as I have seen this year. I know Troy is good and I may play them if Rice's QB is not playing but I am holding off making a decision just yet...

BBD, did you end up taking that ML bet? If so, nicely done.

I surely didnt see the Troy Trojans coming out like they did. Cudos to Dan for that Moneyline if it hits. I turned the game off at the half, so I dont know whats up with it at this point.
