    MPC Computers Bowl

    Sunday, December 31, 2006

    NEVADA (8-4) at MIAMI (6-6)

    Nevada will need to get the passing game going because I do not think they can run on Miami's stout rush defense. Both teams are about even in the passing game. Miami will need to limit turnovers because Nevada is +12 in turnover margain on the season.

    No play on the side, but I will be betting the OVER in this bowl game.

    Nevada and under. Of course, I bet under 44, and it's gone down about three points, but still ...

    it's a matter of motivation and Miami hasn't shown much of that this year. No reason to believe they will all of a sudden magically come out and play here. Either no play or slight lean to NEV.

    Got on Miami -3, after watching fla state beat UCLA. Lots and lots of talent from the land of sunshine... Motivational: playing for their fallen comrade just as they did against BC.

    Going with the Wolfpack +3.5 in this game guys.

    I would take the ML in this game, but Nevada has had some very close losses in recent years in bowl games. I believe it was something like 8 points combined or something like that.

    Miami -3

    Don't see Miami winning one for the gipper here, but the teammate death is a really big deal to the team. They will win this one. Should do it by three.

    I'm taking Nevada +3.5. They're 7-1 ATS on turf this year and this will be Miami's first game on the surface.

    Also the first time Miami will have had to deal with this kind of weather.

    It's getting colder by the hour in Boise . . . game time expected to be around 27F or -3C . . . combined with the turf, I agree with the comments above suggesting the WolfPack has an adge here, I took them at +3.5. Good Luck to everybody, have a safe and happy new year everyone!

    Talk about one wild game this one was guys. That two point conversion they missed early in that game really hurt Nevada badly at the end of the game.
