Advocare V100 Independence Bowl: Shreveport, LA, USA, 12/27/10, 2pm

Air Force (8-4) v. Georgia Tech (6-6)
Air Force favored by 3

The early start caught me by surprise, sorry about that. Its a shame, too, because I was looking forward to breaking down these two triple option teams.

The Yellow Jackets, I thought, were going to get worked in this game, but I was still looking forward to watching all the hand offs, misdirections, dives, and pitches.

The Falcons had a super tough schedule, what with an up MWC, plus out of conference Oklahoma (a close, three point loss in Norman). Save for TCU, all of their losses are by 5 or less points. Then again, they don't really blow teams out.

The pick: Air Force - I feel like the level of competition edge might popularly go to the Ramblin Wreck, but it was a big down year in the ACC, in my opinion.

The line: Well, seeing the score right now, 7-6 Wreck, makes me think about surreptitiously changing my previously made up mind, but I have to be honest. Air Force covers.
