The Hawaii bowl on Christmas Eve takes center stage and the Power Angle Play is on the Rice Owls. Game 220 at 8:00 eastern. Fresno is a pathetic 6-7 and gets a post season bid. They have an inept defense that allows a whopping 200 yards on the ground. That will work well for a Rice team that likes to run and averages 170 on the ground. Rice is 5-0 this year vs losing teams and coach Bailiff is a solid 16-3 ats when the line is within 3 points of pick. The Owls have won the last 2 games vs Mountain West Teams. Fresno is 0-5 straight up and ats in Bowl games and has lost 5 of 6 vs winning teams. Conference USA Teams have covered 14 of 17 off a spread loss of 10 or more. Fresno is 0-3 vs Conference USA Teams and allowed 76 points last out, not a good omen for Bowl teams. The Owls are on the Bull dogs like WHITE ON RICE.
