I have been successful at these all-star games just by looking at each roster. In the Senior Bowl, the North at +170 was coached by the always prepared and ready Dom Capers. The South was coached by Marty Morninweig. Add the better defense of the North, and you have a real live dog. +170 on the ML is +170 on the ML I dont care if its football or ring-toss.
In terms of the Hula Bowl, the South has to much team speed for the North. Brad Banks of Iowa and Jason Johnson of U of A will QB for the South. Kliff Kingsbury and Neil Rose from Harvard will QB for the North. Kingsbury was very good at Texas Tech with that spread offense, but will be a total product of that system. He just doesnt have the arm strength to be a NFL-type QB. I don't know anything about Neil Rose other than he is from an Ivy League school. The south has a very underrated RB carrying the ball in Joe Igber from Cal. I saw him personally when Cal played ASU and he is a good RB.
The South is better coached-Larry Coker w/ Gary Pruett and Glen Mason compared to Mack Brown. Big advantages at WR, DB, and OL. The Southern teams are always faster than the North, so I look for the South to just pull away here.
South -2.5 (carib) play at -3 too.
