College Football Bowl Play of the Day: Independence Bowl

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.

Air Force and Georgia Tech today in Shreveport.

Georgia Tech is down a bunch of players for this one.  Some injured and some suspended.  Air Force is only giving GA Tech 3 pts, it really should be more than that.

Both teams like to run the ball.  Georgia Tech leads the nation with 327 rushing yards per game. Air Force ranks second with 317.9 yards per game.  Air Force has been on a roll, winning their last three games.  Tech has lost four of its last five, including 42-34 in the season finale at archrival Georgia.

Look for Air Force to rack up some yards and points.  Take the Air Force.
