posting tonight, as i may not get to a computer tomorrow. this is my favorite play still on the board.
tulsa (-3) 3 units. dammit, i should have played this game earlier, when tulsa was the dog. after 4 bowl games, people are finally realizing just how awful the mac was this year. (i've said it before, and i'll say it again... it's a real shame the mac gets all these bowl teams now, when they suck. 5 - 6 years ago, when the mac was very, very good, they were LUCKY to get 2 bowl teams. no justice.) i think ball state's offense is the real deal. they will put up lots of points against tulsa's... defense? can you still call it a defense if they don't defend anything? anyways, the flip side of the coin is that ball state's defense is also awful. and i think their disappointment at losing the mac championship game and a shot at a bigger bowl will cause enough lack of focus that they will stop themselves just a few more times than tulsa.
over (74.5) 1 unit. i don't know, maybe this is just way too obvious. but this is one of the rare times i fully anticipate the expected track meet to play out. the ball will be flying all over the field against two bad, bad defenses.
