Christmas in Detroit

How was Christmas?  That's nice.

Before the break, Tulsa rode roughshod over Hawaii on Friday night, bringing us to 3-3-1 for the year.  The Bowl world departs the South Pacific for Detroit as  Florida International from the Sun Belt Conference squares off against the Toledo Rockets of the MAC. 
Experts say ignore the records during Bowl Season.

FIU is 6-6 straight up, 6-6 ATS.  The Rockets are 8-4, 7-5 ATS.  Toledo is a 1 1/2 point favorite coming in.  Here's the argument:  FIU beat Troy earlier this year and Troy tuned up this past week on Ohio, one of Toledo's MAC conference partners.  The experts' conclusion is that FIU should be the superior team.

So I studied the two teams' records and tried to weigh MAC vs. SunBelt Conference.  The only thing that popped for me is that in the last half of the season these two scored and were scored upon quite a bit.

I suggest OVER 56.
