Las Vegas - In the Independence Bowl, the Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar Independence Bowl if you will, we're on Louisiana Tech +7 points against Miami-Florida. Absolutely horrified by the way the Hurricanes finished the season, losing to Florida International (30-24) and Duke (27-17). YIKES! The 'Canes covered 6 of their 12 games, 3 of 9 as a favorite, and posted 6 Overs, 5 Unders and 1 push. The Bulldogs finished with a 9-3 record and covered 7 of the 12 games. They were 3-3 on the road, 2-2 as a dog, and posted 6 Overs and 6 Unders. More trends? Gotcha covered. The kids from Louisiana have been a money machine in the last seven bowl games, covering six, while the visitors from the Sunshine State have covered only one of their last eight bowl outings. And once again, we have a HOME state edge, with the La Tech campus in Ruston just 69.1 miles to Shreveport on the I-20. By the way, the speed limit is 70 mph, so you can make it under an hour. Gonna get a plate of Gumbo, and buy a piece of the Holtz family tree, with Skip, son of Lou, calling the Xs & Os for the Bulldogs.
