The historic Independence Bowl in Shreveport today with North Carolina taking on Missouri.

There is a good chance of rain as the game starts today, so the field might be a mess.

Missouri is giving the Tar Heels 5.5, and I think they want to send a message as they leave the Big XII and head to the SEC.

The Tigers are led by quarterback James Franklin and are on a 3-game winning streak.

Missouri is also 6-2 ATS in its last eight games on grass, leading me to say you should give the 5.5 to Carolina and take Mizzou.  Could be a good game with Missouri pulling away at the end.
