R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
Location: Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana
Matchup: Memphis(Conference USA No. 4) vs. Florida Atlantic (Sun Belt Champion)
Spread: Florida Atlantic -2
Smartass Comment about the Bowl Itself: Apparently Ray Nagin's plan for the reconstruction of "Chocolate City" is to host as many bowl games as possible.
Thoughts: This used to be the easiest money a gambler could ever win, betting against the Sun Belt in the New Orleans Bowl, but this regular season the tide might be changing. This year Sun Belt teams have wins against BCS schools like Minnesota (Florida Atlantic), Oklahoma State (Troy), and Alabama (Louisiana-Monroe). Memphis ranked 99th in my TPTPI, the lowest of any team still playing. For those two reasons Howard Schnellenberger and the Owls of FAU have more than a chance here.
Pick: Florida Atlantic -2
Confidence: 5 out of 32 (When measuring confidence 32 is approaching a drunk girl at 1:45am the night after she broke up with her boyfriend, 1 is approaching Elisa Cuthbert)
