I'm playing this small small small. Afterall this game is on the Big Island. The Twilight Zone of college football. But I'm rolling with Fresno PK tonight. When you look at both defenses, just think WKY in the 4th quarter, and you get an idea. They ain't very good. But Fresno did play better down the stretch giving up just 23 ppg in their last 4 games. Rice's schedule is beyond suspect. Six of their wins have come against teams with 4 wins or less. And the 76 they gave up to LT in their last game was plain oogly. Plus with the exception of Marshall I wasn't very high on the CUSA this year. They are barely one step above the MAC. Fresno has lost their last 2 bowl games, so I think they are the team that will want it a bit more and are the little better team...I think. Merry Christmas. Gift is non-refundable...
