GMAC Bowl

UTEP v. Toledo. Two teams which jump off the board as yawners from their respective conferences. The MAC is 4-0 in the GMAC Bowl, but UTEP has headcoach Mike Price. Anyone who can lose his job (at Alabama) due to booze and strippers before ever coaching a game is guy we like. Not to mention the Miners had a string of dismal 2 win seasons before he took over last year. The result with Price at the helm: 2 straight bowl appearances and a 16-7 record thus far.

Mighty impressive. Impressive enough to break the MAC’s hold on the GMAC title.

Take UTEP +3 in a straight-up win.

New Orleans Bowl

We took it on the chin last night. We’ve always said you can’t handicap injuries and the Packers suffered 4 in the first half. Besides that, Favre looked like crap chucking the ball with a wing and a prayer.

New Orleans Bowl on tap for tonight. Two backdoor bowl-eligible teams fighting for honor. Southern Miss is getting way too many points for a game that should be a defensive battle.

Take Arkansas State +16
