New Orleans Bowl

I'm leaning toward Troy in this one. Seems to me that this game will be wide open where either side won't be able to stop the other side. The question is: who is more likely to implode? From Illusion's post, it would seem that Troy is more likely to implode.

I'll take a gander with Troy probably. Perhaps the OVER is a better bet.

Illusion, I don't know where you get your TO margin stuff from but I was checking out the Gold Sheet today and found some data a little different than what you posted before. Don't know if this helps any but I thought I'd put a link here:

CFB League - CFB Statistics - College Football League

Click on "Turnovers" then it listed turnovers as a total "Gain" and a total "Lost".

IF U HIT THE 3 TONIGHT I'D HEDGE A LITTLE JUST TO BE SAFE

Yeah I will. Just have to win the first 3 before I can think about tomorrow.

Faves are 2-0 so far. I think I'd have to take a shot with Troy here.

No Brainer

Rice and the under....heard it here first...EASY parlay...find a book with 2.8 if possible. This will be a thrashing of the highest nature....34-10 and not even that close.

Troy has 7 wins....6 from the lowly Sun Belt conference, and unimpressive ones at that, and one from the SWAC, and a mistake prone quarterback.

Rice is from a much better conference (it's all relative) and is on a roll with impressive wins against quality second tier C-USA opponents Tulsa, UTEP, and East Carolina under their belt. Clement is a talented, efficient QB and their new coach has reinvigorated the program there (or maybe just invigorated - the 're' is iffy). Rice will have the virtual home field advantage in the Superdome as well.

Hope you guys take advantage of this one...some of these bowl games are as enriching as the non-conference games in weeks 1 through 4...and you don't even have to lay 24.5 points !!!
