Another loss with my small play on the Aggies last night. But there is still plenty more action left on this Bowl schedule. It’s time to turn things around today with 2 games on the board.

Eagle Bank Bowl 4:30 pm
Ucla(-4.5) / Temple
Celebrating the team’s most successful campaign in decades, the Temple Owls make their way to the inaugural EagleBank Bowl at RFK Stadium in the nation’s capital against the UCLA Bruins on Tuesday afternoon.UCLA is making its 30th postseason appearance all-time and has a record of 13-15-1 in previous bowl games. The Bruins have lost two straight and four of their last five postseason bids. In the 2007 Las Vegas Bowl, UCLA was dealt a 17-16 setback by the BYU Cougars. The most recent win for the team was a 50-38 decision against Northwestern in the 2005 Sun Bowl. On paper UCLA should win this game fairly easy. But don’t be surprised to see the Owls make a game of it.
(*1 star play) UCLA-4.5
Champs Sports Bowl 8pm
Miami(-3.5) / Wisconsin
The 14th-ranked Miami-Florida Hurricanes make the short trip to Orlando to participate in the 2009 Champs Sports Bowl, as they take on the 24th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers at Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium. Both of these squads are looking for their 10th wins of the season. In order for Wisconsin to reach that mark, it will have to perform much better than it did in last year’s Champs Sports Bowl, when the team was pounded 42-13 by Florida State. The key to this game is Miami’s ground attack. They are averaging a solid 144.4 ypg on the campaign. Graig Cooper leads the way with 666 yards, while Damien Berry is has accounted for eight of the team’s 20 rushing touchdowns.The Badgers are a solid team, but the Hurricanes are have a more speed and athleticism on their side. Plus Miami is playing close to home and that should only help its cause. Lay the small number.
