Houston vs. Airforce

I've been leaning that way but it goes against my philiosophy of not betting on teams with spread passing attacks in bowl games. Its so hard to carry over the rythmn and timing needed for a strong passing attack after weeks off. This is why I went against both Mizzou and Okie St. and will probably go against Kansas.

This game is really a head scratcher. I really like Houston but i'm not sure if I can pull the trigger.

Like Houston here also, just hope it doesn't turn out to be another MD and Nevada game happened today. Poor defense vs good, ok offense vs good..

Here is my take on the game. They already played once this year...... IN THE MIDDLE OF HURRICANE IKE! Obviously rain and winds are going to benefit a running team..... therefore AF won 31-28. They were up 31-14 after the 3rd quarter..... but it was losey weather.

I think Houston and that high powered passing game wins this time. AF allowed 82 points in their final 2 games while Houston finished off the season STRONG..... losing to Rice 42-56 (damn didnt RIce look good tonight) and beating UTEP 42-37, TULANE 42-14 and #23 Tulsa 70-40!

I'm playing Houston -4!

dfinn,

agree with your analysis about spread passing offenses in bowl games...

Good point, Another reason why I like Houston is that, Force is so 1 dimesional. they didnt even complete a pass when they beat houston. Houston knows whats coming every play and hopefully they've had the right coaching to stop the option.
Im leaning houston and possibly the over 66. wasnt it 61 yesterday?
