Well the last few days have been nothing short of spectacular. After starting off the Bowl season around or below the .500 mark, I have stepped it up here in the closing week. I went 4-1 on Saturday, didn’t post Sunday and won with Boise St and Iowa the last two nights. Both underdogs winning outright. Lets get to tonights game.

GMAC Bowl (7:00 pm )
The top team from the Mid-American Conference and the best of the Sun Belt Conference will collide this Wednesday night when the 25th-ranked Central Michigan Chippewas take on the Troy Trojans for the first-time ever in the GMAC Bowl. The Chippewas claimed their third MAC title in the last four seasons thanks to an 11-2 mark this season. This will be the fourth straight bowl appearance for CMU and the sixth overall in school history. The team is just 1-4 in the postseason and has lost its last two bowl games, including a 24-21 setback to Florida Atlantic in last year’s Motor City Bowl. The Trojans of Troy grabbed their fourth straight Sun Belt title this season after going 9-3 on the year. It was the first nine-win season for Troy in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and the Trojans also became the first team to go 8-0 in league action. The Trojans were not only the best offensive team in the Sun Belt, but they put up numbers that rivaled some of the top schools in the nation. Troy finished the regular season averaging 33.1 ppg, on an impressive 478.5 total ypg. I know C.Michigan has a top NFL prospect at quarterback in Dan LeFevour. But this is a home game pretty much for Troy (Alabama) and the Chippewas have not been able to get it done in the post season. Take the points as underdogs have been the moneymakers in these Bowl games.
(* 1 star play on ) Troy +3
